    Good prospect that lad, i have been watching a lot of the spurs youth due to their facilities being open to my sons team for us to be better coaches, very good on the ball
  • THFC6061THFC6061
    I doubt that Spurs will sell the lad, as he's only just signed a contract extension with us.

    He's already had League experience on loan at Wycombe, Torquay and Bournemouth, so I think the next stage in his development would be a spell with a top Championship team or one of the Premier League strugglers.


  • Henry IrvingHenry Irving
    Only 5' 8" so no matter how good he is he must not be signed. : - )

  • Oggy RedOggy Red
    Remember rule one of a defender: Can he defend?
  • adamtheaddickadamtheaddick
    spurs have hutton, and the two lads they signed from sheff utd, plenty of cover and could be prepared to let him go.

    I didn't think he'd signed the new deal on offer from Spurs yet and if he hasn't, the 200k would be about right for a development fee. Very good player and very decent prospect for the future. Let's hope it happens.

    Is he better than Francis, though?

    The way height is such an issue for some people here, i don't think 6'8 would be tall enough.............

    Oggy, Oggy, Oggy you have fallen for a schoolboy error.
    On CharltonLife, rule one of a defender is,as Henry points out, You must be over 6 ft 1
    Rule two is Can he defend.
  • tangoflashtangoflash
    No, rule 2 is can he tweet?

    I think MART77 maybe spot on se the attached article from last month from the  reliable Bournmouth Echo, the paper all Charlton fans read for information on their club

    Damn! Wrong again.

    No wonder Simon Francis was signed........ He's over 6'1".
    So he was qualified by "rule one of a defender".

    Can some post up a full set of rules. It should be on page 12 of the CL members handbook version 4 (updated April 2011).

    My Bournemouth supporting colleague has told me this morning that he now hates Charlton more than he hates Southampton...LOL

    You're right.  Tell CP to get on to Harry and say we've changed our minds. We'd rather sign Peter Crouch as right back.

    Tango has hoist me by my own petard.
    I was wrong. I apologise Oggy
    Rule 1 - height
    Rule 2 - twitter ability
    Rule 3 - Can he defend

    Was that the April 1st edition?
  • Oggy RedOggy Red
    That's more like it, Floyd.
  • PlaaayerPlaaayer
    Rule 4. Where he takes his missus for dinner.

  • Floyd MontanaFloyd Montana
    Plaayer, you should know if Rule 4 and Rule 2 are combined, then Can he defend is relegated to Rule 4.
    Clear?
    Rule 1 - height
    Rule 2 - twitter ability
    Rule 3 - Does he take his wife up the Oxo
    Rule 4 - Can he defend
  • PlaaayerPlaaayer
    Apologies, I didn't realise you had the CL 'clique' rulebook I thought you just had the normal one like T.C.E.
  • Essex_AlEssex_Al
    spurs have hutton, and the two lads they signed from sheff utd, plenty of cover and could be prepared to let him go.


    Also not forgetting Kyle Walker.

    Could be a goer this one. I would have thought that in letting Francis go we would have a replacement already lined up.

  • BigRedEvilBigRedEvil
    I've never seen him, is he better than Solly?

    I'd like to see Solly get a run in the 1st team this season, he's been unlucky with injuries past few seasons but he never let's anyone down.

    I was ordered to hand it back when my brother posted in my name, but I just couldnt. I knew a thread like this would come along sooner or later.

    He is one of the two lads signed from Sheff Utd. I imagine he'll be first choice next season.
  • Oggy RedOggy Red
    Sky Walker.....?
  • I-SAW-POUSO-PLAYI-SAW-POUSO-PLAY
    I think we will sign him. Signed practically everyone we've been linked to.

    It was Kyle Walker and Kyle Naughton they signed from Sheff Utd.

    As for Smith I saw him against us in FA Youth Cup game at The Valley a few years ago. He looked promising, but I can't remember much about him.

    Think he'd be a decent signing, would probably have to fight for a place with Solly rather than be guaranteed first choice.
  • Oggy RedOggy Red
    Tottingham will probably let him go, because he's not 6'1.
