Hulse is no prolific goal scorer but he did a decent job while Kermy was injured, I'd have him as backup to Yann because we clearly can't afford much better.
Didn't rate him at all. Terrible first touch. Really hope we can get better. I don't understand the Hulse love.
It's not really "love" but he proved himself more capable at this level than some of our strikers. I'm not saying that he should start every game, but I'd definitely have him in the squad.
He may be better than some of what we have got which isn't a lot at the moment, and we may not have any money. I just don't think he is all that. Especially when you look at the players we have released that were match winners. I am obviously in the minority I am just not a fan!
Hulse did score two or three goals for us, but I get the feeling he's been around the block once too often: his play is a bit predictable. He ain't gonna pull up many trees....

Unlike Wood of course...
You are alluding to not being able to see Wood for the trees pulled up by Hulse...
CP said he would have liked to have kept Taylor--------- LIKED TO HAVE KEPT HIM. We sign Wood because he is cheaper------thats it.
Sad though it is the Bermondsey gold fish sellers have more dosh than us. They have brought in 5/6 plsayers and at least three brass pots for their caravan.
This season we have to HOPE that the team holds together and a few of the kids step up, someone wins mega money on the Euro ------no one is coming over Shooters Hill to save us.
I would be happy with Hulse as back up to Yann as the hold up center forward.
Agree totally.
Don't understand all the Hulse bashing on here for one moment. Ok he had one stinker up at Wolves, missing some easy chances, but apart from that he led the line well, holding the ball up from long punts forward very effectively, and generally got stuck in, For a loan player, he actually looked like he cared and in his final match at Watford, very telling that Chris Powell gave him a huge hug.
If (as) we are broke, we could do much worse than resign him.

Agree with this mostly, he was a decent Target man, it not helping that he was always being compared to the genius Yann Kermorgant in terms of winning the ball in the air, which he couldn't always do,he did though hold the ball up well and was a good team player. But i would only have him as a backup to yann, it never worked those two playing together for me, especially because he seemed to be playing as a poacher and people kept trying to play the through ball with him, and he's no danny haynes in pace... If come the start of the season and we were still short on strikers i would be happy with him as a backup to yann-this only if michael smith/piggot arn't deemed good enough as target men by SCP
Seen who play? Hulse? The man was virtually immobile, terrible in the air, and had absolutely no touch.
It always baffles me how players like this are seen as 'reliable', while players with talent, pace and skill are seen as 'a luxury'.
One of the things I love about this site is how fellow Charlton fans see things in a completely different light to me. I respect all opinions but I really do sometimes scratch my head in disbelief, as here. (See my comments above).
I agree 100% Fortune. I think many "supporters" either don't go to many games or if they do, they don't watch it or can't because they've drunk too much ........ runs for cover :-)

Covered, when the abuse starts come under my umbrella!
No one is signing anyone yet. We'll sign a striker next week or something. Obika will also come eventually. Weren't we saying same things last year about signings? 9 th wasn't bad!

Let's face it we are desperate. Anyone will do as long as they are cheap.
Offload Haynes, BWP and Waggy and sign Hulse.
The transfer dealings of the doomed.

This is CAFC.

I honestly would rather sign no-one and try Smith, Pigott or even Harriott up top.
