Probably more b/s, but someone on facebook has posted this:-
''Zakary Bergdich is a Moroccan international who plays for Valladolid atm although he was actually born in France. He's coming to Charlton on Monday for the day so I'm guessing it's a medical''
He's a left back that was on loan at Genoa last season.
Well we've signed plenty of Belgians so it's about bloody time that Moroccan arrived. He's well late.
Zakary probably arrived from Morocco via Libya, caught a "ferry" and waited for his time to board a lorry at Calais. He has no right to jump the queue at Calais just because he is a professional footballer

We seem to get linked to players with underwhelming YouTube show reels. There's crosses into the keeper's hands, misplaced passes... Puts me in mind of Petrucci and Nego's highlights.
FFS! At this rate they'll never be able to get a good old moral boosting rendition of "Knees up Mother Brown" and the Hokey Cokey going pre kickoff in the dressing room...

Hear we're going to sign him in a railway carriage.
Ketts on Dr Kish wrote "There were strong rumours on Wednesday linking the Addicks with Moroccan defender, Zakaria Bergdich. Bergdich is a 26-year-old and is currently with Spanish outfit, Real Valladolid."
We really are pinning our hopes on untried Championship players. Please sign a couple of players with experience of the league.
Do we have to have players with Championship experience? JBG and Bulot were far better than Eagles. Igor and Watt were better than Church and other strikers we've had in the past. Buyens one of the better CMs in recent years.

Agree although I always feel more comfortable with defenders with champ experience. Attacking mids and strikers are able to be more expressive and coming from the continent helps with that.
What is interesting is that this Morrocan is a versatile LM/LB , so would suggest we will try and adapt to the 352 we have been trialling in preseason , with Wiggins currently in that role.

He can't screw us over and expect us to be friendly in return. :-)
For me that's:
1 x CB
1 x RB / CB cover
1 x CM (creative)
1 x LW
1 x utility squad cover (not as vital as first 4).
Edit - well 4 games in Serie A!
