    I think with Joe Pigott coming back from Newport, we won't be signing De Melo. We will probably do our business in January.

    We didn't recall him though ...

    I think that is Newport being kind,
    again this weekend he was on the bench and came on for 10 minutes I just think they don't want him



    His sub appearance on Saturday had been Pigott's first game back after injury, during which he'd missed a number of games.

    I'd guess that Newport have done okay without him, especially with another striker regaining fitness during Joe's absence.


    The Newport manager has said recently that they don't have the budget to keep Pigott or the goalkeeper on loan from Peterborough - and both would be returning to their parent clubs.

  • Pigott has come back just in time to lead the line against Millwall again

    Certainly was an interesting "cameo" appearance last time out against the Spanners... I would hope that he wasn't too traumatised.
  • I'd rather just let Newport have him on loan while we pay his wages.

    A Newport supporting mate unimpressed with him.

    to be fair all 22 players had a shocker that game. One of the worst derbies i've ever seen.

    Is your mate aware that JP is equal top scorer for Newport based on goals per game?
  • I was literally about to joke that someone will soon quote the Newport supporting mate when I saw the above post.

    And it wasn't Paulie.

    So is it fair to say that you aren't impressed with Newport supporting mates?

    Afraid I don't know, he just said "we have one of yours on loan" & I asked how he was doing & he said not really impressed on what he'd seen & he goes to all home games.

  • Where the Fuk is Newport,
  • Doesn't look as if Charlton will be offering a contract to De Melo.

    -waits for VFF to claim de melo wasn't ever at the club and in fact isn't a real person-

    I guess that I am a Joe, and all our other youngsters supporter, unimpressed with Newport.

    What rubbish are you talking now ? Have you not got some homework to get on with ?

    Stacey territory - there is a brilliant take-off* of "Empire state of mind" done in Newport (I think it was there)


    * I was going to use the word parody but couldn't bring myself to do it.

    Back to De melo, he has a wikkipedia page so he must exist.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Túlio_de_Melo

    No idea whether he was at the club or not or what happened to the trial, and whether Bob Peeters thinks he has what it takes. I trust Bob Peeters judgement on players though, so would give De Melo a chance if Bob Peeters thought he was good enough. No sign of De Melo, so it looks likely not to happen.

    This is the Badger

    The parody, Newport State of Mind.: http://youtu.be/Eijc2tGe-zM

    Would have also liked to post a video of the stunner I saw Jp score a couple of weeks ago. Really surprised at the assumption that he hasn't done well there. By all accounts a class above with his touch and vision.

    Joe is class. Real tekkers and awareness in that player, in a decent team could play a teddy Sherringham role. Just because he isnt a 100m speedster or a lanky beanpole doesn't mean he hasn't got game.
