74 games, 28 of those as a sub. 9 goals. His Charlton career so far can be summed up in one performance at Blackpool at the end of the 13/14 season. First half he couldn't control anything that came his way and was playing like most fans up there on that lunchtime kick off felt (Hungover). Second half different player and ends up with a hat trick.
No consistency about his game at this level but if he gets a move to Wigan or elsewhere then he has age on his side to do something about it. All down to him.
Another success for the academy and Valley Gold? Not on the scale of Shelvey and Gomez, more on the scale of Sam and Wagstaff.
Note to @ValleyGary this mate - unprofessional, inconsistent,awful attitude, blocked countless fans on twitter for nothing at all bar a little "pull your socks up son" he's not good enough. Simple. Oh sorry, not allowed to talk to you either, you don't have a season ticket!"
I could understand the fact you dont like him as a footballer, he's frustrating, but then as a 21 year old winger I'm not suprised. But it's the fact you're leading with personality attacks cos he don't like being given shit by fans on social media. Charlton 'Boy' is an apt name.
Twitter and Facebook seem to be the stamping ground of some, but there are still a lot of people with no presence there. Using a persons cartoon like, even shallow existence on those platforms to make any judgement about them, is akin to assessing somebody's character from their toenail clippings.
A 21 winger not being consistent, who'd believe it. Some really idiotic comments on here. Same people who if we sold him and he was brilliant would then moan about how we never hold on to our young players.
Really interesting how there has become a culture of hammering our young players. No patience for them to develop.
It's a recent countrywide thing. Unless a player is tearing it up as soon as they break through to the first team they get slaughtered. Highest profile case has to be Tom cleverley. Jonjo got slagged off at Liverpool as well. This country celebrates failures and if they're decent it's all "yeah, well, getting paid what they do they should be good".
And you wonder why our youth systems are dragging behind Germany and Spain!
Yeah, well, getting paid what they do they should be good. You hit the nail on the head.
Thank God Joe Gomez got out before having a poor spell and being ripped apart by twats who think they are Charlton fans!
CH is still a young lad and obviously a confidence player. He's shown what he can do and we've had enough dross over the years that had nothing to show in the first place.
We can all have an opinion on the player. It's the spite and the bile that's uncalled for.
I honestly wonder what people see when they go to games.He isnt very good at all,partly because he thinks in his own head he is better than what he is.But calling people twats who think they are charlton fans just for voicing there opinion is ridiculous,unless of course your actually harriotts dad and are sticking up for him.
Wondering whether to respond to you...will come back later after a few pints and decide whether you are actually worth the effort!
As you'll see from my original comment there are a few more likes than your solitary lol, so I'm not alone in my thinking. In the meantime, you bash away at your keyboard!!
Sorry you got more likes than me . You must be right. Please excuse me .
Had a few beers and decided....you really aren't worth the effort! You're excused by the way!
I have seen a lot worse than Harriott over the years. Personally think we are at the stage we don't know how good he could be so I would keep him for the time being
It's a shame but in my opinion players should steer clear of social media unless just sharing with friends and family. When asked for one bit of advice he'd give to young kids at Chelsea Frank Lampard said 'steer clear of social media'. Wise words indeed.
Harriet doesn't deserve the spiteful comments that he gets on CL. In my book his only crime was missing that open goal at Brentford. It took me days to get over that agony! Callum is a talented ball player with a good eye for goal. It is very handy for the manager that he is left footed. His weakness is his link up play, which was also Lisbie's weakness in my view so comparisons with Kevin are suitable IMO. I also think Callum tries too hard. I think Riga told him to keep it simple and he did well under him. He is obviously a confidence player and can certainly beat his full back but because he gives the ball away too much he gets the crowd on his back. I would keep him as back up for Bulot, assuming we sign him.
has anyone seen the screenshot he posted on instagram of some twat so called 'fan' threatening to run on the pitch and stab him if he doesnt allow him to his bbq for £400? Some people are messed up and wonder why some players want away or lose interest in the club. unbelievable

Yeah very weird. Although reading the comments hurts my head 'rahhh ya na fam, wasteman'
Who was the small tricky winger we had developed a few years back and ended up I think playing against us for Notts County? Can't remember his name or what happened to him but he was similar to Callum in that it was thought he had promise but couldn't quite seem to pull it all together. There have been a few of these over the years I think and I can't think of one of ours who went on to better things after leaving (I'm only referring to small tricky wingers here)

I'm not getting these comparisons with Kevin lisbie. I mean wtf? Lisbie played at the highest level for Charlton and as such could arguably be described as one of our most successful youth products. Don't get me wrong, I'm not his biggest fan - I found him incredibly frustrating and ultimately, judged as a striker he was found wanting because he simply didn't score enough goals. Frustrating because I believe it was in his mind - he lacked the killer instinct. That said, he frequently played a thankless role in a struggling side, punching above it's weight against the big boys. At this stage in his career Harriott isn't fit to lace Lisbie's boots. He may well improve and good luck to him, but he doesn't seem to get his head up or make the right decisions and lacks composure. If the club has ambition he is probably better off elsewhere

So you think Harriott would not be able to bend over far enough to tie another player's bootlaces? Or is it just another juvenile insult against our 21 year old youth product?
Lisbie had his critics too, and the reasons varied. He had frustrating body language and I will never forget him coming on at Old Trafford and mooching around with his head down making little apparent effort. If you can't be up for that stage then there is something wrong with your attitude. Whether Callum will ever make it at a better level than CAFC is not known but my point is that history is not on his side given the type of player he is. But lacing of boots insults are still un-called for.

I suspect the "lacing boots" comment was made not to insult Callum but to emphasise the career that Lisbie enjoyed at the highest level is at this point something Callum doesn't look like following.
Lisbie was a fine youth product, very frustrating because he always seemed to miss his one on ones. What grated me with Kevin was his lack of link up play and that is Harriet's weakness. Good on the ball but doesn't time the pass so well. Can players be taught this? I'm not so sure.

We're not where we were when Lisbie came through. He played at the highest level, because we were AT the highest level. The question is whether Harriott is good enough for the level we're at right now. Personally I am not sure that he is, but Lisbie comparisons are pretty pointless right now.
I think a comparison with Lloyd Sam is more relevant. I get deeply frustrated with The Harriotts. It would appear that he has all the skill and natural ability but chooses the wrong option a lot of the time. He doesn't pass when he should and overdoes the dribbling into cul de sacs. His crossing is pretty woeful as well. It is a great pity because there is a good footballer in there, but it is producing that ability consistently that is the problem. I would not be unhappy to see him leave if we got a good offer.
I remember Callum given his debut by Chris Powell at the Valley in 2011 against Rochdale. He was like a high-energy breath of fresh air- racing about about with step-overs and genuine pace and skill. If anything he tried too hard and not everything came off but he was well received.
Since then the Valley has been a very tough place for a young skillful player with an eye for goal and I thought he was gradually ground down and his confidence ebbed.
He is still a talent and a genuine Charlton man and a fresh start might be the best thing for him. I predict him returning one day for another club and paying us back big time for the stick he has received over the last four years.

Jesus, wind your neck in. People were comparing Harriott with Lisbie - the point I was trying to make was there is as yet no comparison. Lisbie plyed his trade at the highest level, Harriott is an unfinished article yet to prove himself at Championship level - hence not fit (as yet) to lace his boots. If you interpret that as a juvenile insult I would suggest the problem is yours not mine

He then had a lull but came back strongly towards the end of the 13/14 season.
Unfortunately he did not kick on last season, so not surprising really that he needs to find another club to get his career back on track.
Ah.
Did the nasty man block you?
Your life must be in tatters.
He's certainly not in me!
Wish people would stip going on about that Sheffield United match, is like babies throwing toys out a pram cos we didnt get to go to Wembley!!
