He seems very happy at the moment, adding goals to his game this season too. Hopefully he can be a big player for us this year.
Interview on the OS, also saying the rumour yesterday was rubbish.
Racon needs to be a lot more consistent he's had a long time now. Next game he plays I'd like to see him getting forward with a bit of licence to create that's probably where we'll see the best of him
100% agreed. I think that will happen a lot more this season as he was suggesting he will be trying to get more forward, hopefully this will bring consistency in his performances. Squad looks stronger after the three new signings and I'm quietly optimistic about this season, more togetherness about this team I think.
If he got his act together him and Semedo should be able to dominate midfield for the vast majority of games, such a shame he isn't more consistent as at this level his has plenty of ability.
MccOrmack appears to be the preferred partner for Semedo at the moment but last night won't have done Therry any harm. Pleasing that he talks about getting in the box more; a few poached goals would of course be nice but early in his time with us he showed a good range of shooting from further out with both feet. Maybe that too should be encouraged again.
Racon will play a huge role for Charlton this year. When Semedo or McCormack are down (injured or suspension) Racon will be a strong player to fill that role. He will also provide a good competition between the CM's for a starting place. Exactly what we need.
he's a good player i think and the fact he's happy here is a good sign.. it's just so frustrating in matches (especially last season) to see him outside the box of the opposition's penalty area but then instead of trying to pass it away to someone that is possibly in space he tries to be really skilful with the ball and ends up losing it a majority of the time.
Thought Racon, Semedo and Martin were our best players last night. He made soem brilliant tackles and got himself into space very well. This is a real chance for him this season. he could be a pretty decent box to box player if he would get forward more. He is capable of scoring between 5-10 goals a season if he did this.
But seriously. Has it really been 6 years? Seems like yesterday we were watching a team of overpaid journeymen we didn't know that well underachieving for us.
When he burst onto the scene I thought he could be our Viera or even Yaya, but alas he turned out to be the next damp squib.
Much Fanfare was made of him and Zheng Zhi signing, but as a creatively minded player he was wasted on the left of midfield and subsequently got ridden by the boo boys
He seemed like such a talented player that just never seemed to make sense. I saw him a couple times playing in the holding role and he looked class. Then just bounced around and never settled.
I do think, given our size and status, we will always have players like him, EH Ba, Sarr, etc. You could even put Yann and Joe Semedo in that category. Players where there is clearly talent there (usually they're young and foreign), but who are still working on putting it all together.
Talent and application are two different things - Lloyd Sam, Kyle Reid, Moutakill and many others all had talent but where are they now? I have always felt that there needs to be a lot more support and much less money given to those who have just come out of academies to help them develop their careers rather than their nightclubbing, taste for expensive cars and clothes and other activities.

Well he's one of the stars of RedBull New York in the MLS, wears the number 10 shirt and has captained the side a few times too, not sure you can put him in with Moo2 and Kyle Reid

He's leaving LOCKED ON FACT.

Wish my missus was like that.
You should have married Racon (who only scores once a season....!).
He won't want to go anywhere, if his wife is due to give birth to their 1st child at Christmas.
Even if he doesn't go in Jan, he'll be out of contract in June.
anyway ive always been a fan of Racon and think he can be a decent player at times
nice of him to come out and say he wants to try and score more goals for us, good luck to him and i hope it comes to fruition :)

Oh it wasn't yesterday.
It was last Saturday.
