Let's be honest... a four year deal still doesn't mean we're likely to still have him here in four years. He's probably up there with the most talented players we've had since at the very least the Premiership years. But we WILL be seeing him for at least another year or so, we will get decent cash when someone wises up to his quality.
I am well chuffed with this. If this was the 'big signing' supposed to happen yesterday... worth the wait. If it's not... well it's going to have to go some way to top this.
(P.S. Jordan Cousins... follow the leader here, sign up buddy. Please and thank-you.)
Absolutely great news and Colin picked up above on what I saw as the most telling comment from Johann...sounds like he knows "the plan" and is very happy with it.
Very, very pleased with this...a screamer of a goal against WHam is definitely in order!!
Reams reckons Nancy have accepted our offer for Lenglet. 2 signings by the end of the week, one possibly today (guessing Lenglet). There are plenty of news stories online quoting interest from Juve and as a French U21 international he must have something about him. Also provides right back cover which we need.
But I wouldn't want to go into the season with a Bauer / Lenglet pairing. It feels too young with both players having never played in England. I would like to see an experienced old head arrive at CB as well who knows the league. Unless Luzon sees Diarra as an ideal partner for one of the two younger ones.

Might as well slam the transfer window shut today because we won't make a better signing than that !
You know it's the Charlton way!
Only joking (I hope!)
Great fecking news...
Wibble.
Also WELL DONE KATRIEN and anyone else who has made this happen.
This is a very big moment for our club - mark my words
Simon Makienok: Congrats @Gudmundsson7 with the new deal! Very happy with this, so you can continue to educate me
Johann: @SimonMakienok haha thanks my friend! I will keep doing that

implies there's bad news coming.
we've re-signed Lepoint!
How can JBG even suggest we are a serious football club
