Quite sorry to see George go to be honest. At the start of the season I thought he formed a good partnership with Igor. It was when he didn't have him there he struggled. Great game against Derby.
So. Tucudean has gone from an 800,000 Euro purchase to an 18 month loan ? So basically giving the player away to get the wages off the books. A true work of negotiating genius from Duchatelet (if true).
Whatever your thoughts on George, I believe he had ability and tried, and for that reason he added something to the squad. I don't inderstand the logic that we can't score goals yet we give a striker away. That's seems mental. Hopefully more than one forward coming in over the coming days or perhaps the plan is to sign more defenders and field a team of centre backs - with Igor up top on crutches on his own.
George appears to be a decent character, but is not good enough / right type of player for the Championship. Shame he missed the Millwall chance as he would have been a legend. Ifs, but and maybes. Goes down as another (forseeable) Duchatelet failed network signing.
So what's George's YouTube 3min video gonna look like now after 6 months of being Charltonised? 2 great goals, but most of the other time spent on his arse - and I don't mean on the bench. Significantly better than Churchy though!

Loans don't generally come for free these days, Vff.
The players wages normally will be paid by the borrowing club, of course - but there's usually an additional 'loan transfer fee' involved, where a sum of money is paid either at the commencement of the loan or at regular periods during the course of the loan period.
Now it's been said our friend George is going to be loaned for 18 months. That's an exceptionally long time for a loan; it seems to me that RD will be receiving a big loan transfer fee during/to cover that period. And Charlton still retain the player's registration.
Or Steua like what they see with George and later make the move permanent - plenty of options to consider.
What I liked about George was his range. He could manage the spectrum from a park player, to a World Cup goalscorer. Not all players are so versatile. Best of luck George, nothing to dislike about you at all. George is George.
Not a bad footballer but doesn't have something about him to make him a proper threat at this level, either pace, strength and ability in the air or stand out technical ability. Saying that a bit more composure in front of goal and he'd have scored 2/3 more and things might look a bit different.
Now that we're struggling I don't think we can afford to wait and see if he adapts to Championship football.

Plenty of managers and coaches have said that players take time to adapt to any new league let alone an English one and it's often a year or so before you see the best of a player.. There are plenty of examples of this around! I think George could turn out to be a good player but too much was expected of him too soon! If he was second choice to yann this year and making appearances from the bench or the odd start every now and then.. It would have allowed him to adapt at his own pace.. and we could have seen him come good next year!

Probably didn't help him that Vetokele hit the ground running, so people compare the two. Mind you, I see little difference in them at the moment. However, we've had a taste of Igor and know what he's capable of. George has only shown brief glimpses.............
I can't wait to see which liege reserve we get next

"So Guy, who's it gonna be?
Number 1, our lovely Igor from Liège Number 2, our lovely Krisztián from Budapest or Number 3, our lovely Óscar from Alcorcón"
This could be the most LOLs to a post I've seen, and well deserved. Perhaps some of our more elder members (elder as in been on here longer, not in terms of years accrued on this planet) may know different?
FC Steaua Bucuresti announced that striker George Tucudean from Charlton Athletic on loan from our club for a year and a half, with option to buy. Thursday 29 Jan 2015 7:51 p.m. Peak 23-year-old will wear jersey number 29 and will join the batch run by Constantin Gâlcă in Antalya from Friday evening.
The club says welcome and wishes to take part in as many successes red-blue shirt!
George Tucudean is a striker born on April 30, 1991 in Arad, who began his career at UTA. In 2010 he was transferred to Dinamo team that performed for three years, and then purchased by Standard Liege. In return last season on loan at Dinamo all Belgians, and this season played for Charlton Athletic in the second English league, which has evolved in 23 games and scored twice. Also won the Romanian Cup and Super Cup, both conquered in Dinamo's jersey in the 2011-2012 season. To date, developed for all national teams of Romania, except the seniors.
I am glad that I signed and I dress shirt Star. I knew about my interest in transfer since last year and I think it is a step forward in my career to evolve for a team which aims performance in Europe. Now remains to work hard to prove I deserve to play at Steaua and I hope not to disappoint expectations, because they are aware that the club have made an effort rewarded by good developments. I want to win trophies and I enjoy the fact that I'm at a club I will ease this task!
