just spoke to a work mate who says Andy O'brien is total shyte. not happy about swopping £3.7m of crap for £2m worth of crap. at least we'd want them to match the amount of crap. to be fair.
Andy "The Rash" O'Brien is just the kind of player we need. Hard working, loyal and an excellent defender. He is much more of a "marking" kind of centre back than a huge physical presence, but when he was younger I have seen him have the like of Thierry Henry and Michael Owen completely in his pocket.
No-one could look good in Newcastle's defence and that experience does seem to have set his career back. But the guy is quality and would fit in perfectly at Charlton.

I don't think it would be a bad move. Whilst i don't think O'brien is any good, it will still be good to offload Traore and i think that given some time to settle in England and learn the language Diawara could become a decent defender. Hopefully we can loan him and he can come back a better player after learning from Tony adams and Sol campbell. It's just a shame they don't want Amady Faye back!
