Afternoon Addicks,

Keep fighting the against the buggers!!

Hearing we've agreed a deal for Morgan Fox, source is usually realible but I will admit I know little about him, can anyone shed any light?

    Firesale is starting nice and early. I gave up months ago so can only go on what i've heard about Fox on here mate. Lot of detractors and only a few backers by the sounds of it.

    A crowd favourite ...for many different reasons.
  • Not great, surprised you're after him if indeed you actually are.

    He might end up like Simon Francis so you never know.

    Personally don't think he'll be able to cope at a higher level, too slow and gets beaten too easily.

    Edit: If this is a type of scouting, he's a world-class player that would be able to compete at any level. Will be available for £20m.

    league one is his level, quite surprised about this tbh if true.

    Top quality young full back, much better than Pudil. He'll go straight into the first team. Great business for Wednesday.

    He gets a lot of stick from some fans , some warranted and some not. In all honesty I'm surprised you're interested in him as he's hardly a standout at this level and does have some poor games (partly due to awful defensive options in front of him I may add.) Under the right manager and in a solid team he may do well. However , anything over a million and I think you're overpaying personally

    This one surprises me. Scouts from opposing teams don't come to the Valley and say 'We must sign that Morgan Fox!'. They just recommend attacking down his side of the pitch.

    I think you'd find many offers to drive him up there

    In most cases when a young player leaves people will suddenly decide he isn't that good and we can use the money to replace him in denial.

    In this case it would actually be warranted and not really sure why you'd want him, hasn't at any point been as good as Wiggins was for us.

    Although we'd probably get some 34 year old on a free to replace him so lose-lose.

    Merry Christmas everyone.
  • wouldn't really miss him in usual circumstances but we don't have a lot of cover. he's pretty slow but if your coaches can get him to stay in his position then he can do a job.

    Doubt it, even for Fox - you ever been to Sheffield?!

    Used to rate him though everyone else seemed to hate him but this season bar 1 good game he's been constantly atrocious. If we seriously get £2m out of you for him I'll be shocked. Can get much, much better players for that much. Don't think we'll find replacing him too hard.
  • Would take 100k. Absolute shite

    I am a rare Charlton fan who likes him.
    For about £2 million you're bagging a bargain.

    I'm in your camp Seth. Made a scapegoat by many but most of the time he has no help down the left flank so when he goes forward gets very exposed. I also think his move in the summer collapsing at the last minute has done him no favours. As with any player we currently have they are better off out of it for their sakes.

    £2m is daylight robbery. He does give his all though can't fault him for that just he makes too many errors.

    To be honest, I've never rated him and he's frustrated me a lot.

    That said, even I'll say there's been glimpses of a decent player in there, he's got more than his fair share of abuse, and he's never really had the benefit of a decent partner on the left.

    I think a fresh start away from the fans who have already judged him (Guilty.) and give him abuse (Not guilty.), and in a team where he has a bit of quality around him? He may be a bit of a bargain, and a worthy gamble.
  • He's get excessive criticism from many people here, but surely isn't the level of defender a promotion chasing Championship team would/should be chasing?

    If this is true then KR will within one month realise that it was all lies. Not that I particularly rate Fox, but we'd have lost our first choice left hand side. That doesn't really yell team pushing for promotion at the first available opportunity does it KM

    Seen both sides of Fox. The one where he looks a decent left-back who could hold his own in the Championship with potential to improve and also the Fox that would look out of his depth in the National League.
  • Oh god. First Lookman and now Fox. The finest and best. You'll love his unorthodox approach to defending.

    In answer to your original question - not good enough for the championship imo

    You'd have thought Wednesday would be a bit wary of signing left backs from us, the last one Wiggins was not much of a success.
