kitchenchef

surely the most important question is.....How do we say his name?

Plus it also seems to be the case that he is a player that has been targeted by new head coach Jose Riga. #cafc

4 1/2 year deal surprises me. Do they genuinely think we are going to stay up?

Apparently we've beaten New York City and Flamengo (Brazil) to his signature... Will be a 3.5 year Contract, they dont seem to learn with Contract lengths especially as he'll be around 33 when that ends

Probably the only way we could get him to sign on the dotted line though unfortunately.

Agents aren't thick. They'll have heard from contacts that Johnson got 18 months, Sarr got 18 years, and Meire is easy pickings. In this case the player gets additional long-term security and the agent a nice bonus. We're a joke.

Yeah but the Charlton fans are, they get life!

If he is Riga's man, that's good enough for me.

Maybe Karel really is gone for good?

Charlton are delighted to confirm the signing of experienced centre-back Jorge Teixeira on a three-and-a-half-year deal.

The 29-year-old joins the Addicks for an undisclosed fee from Standard Liège, where he has been a regular in the first half of the 2015/16 season.

I have noticed the BBC have quoted 4 1/2 years

kentred2

Lol. He will be shit.

redman

Promising signing on the face of it.

I'm willing to give him a fair go, I dont hold out much hope having said that, but I hope he is the one that bucks the trend.

Welcome Jorge.

No. But just want to try and shut the protests up on Saturday

Looks taciturn (like Jorge Costa did). I like taciturn in a defender.

cafc4life

Keep signing players like him and we're gonna finish top half in league 1 next season easily . Buzzing

Now can we get an Attacking Midfielder to create something?

Astrit!

That'd do... But if he only signed for the Swedish side in December I doubt it'll happen

Our Astrid mole on the Astrid thread, seemed to confirm that he wouldn't be coming to Charlton.

We can sign as many CB's as we like, until we actually get a capable LB we wont get anywhere.

kitchenchef

but how do we say his name???

Did he play much last season under Riga, does anyone know?

http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jorge-teixeira/leistungsdaten/spieler/59791/plus/0?saison=2014

Riga took charge of Standard Liege on 02 February 2015... Going by the above link he only played under him for seven matches (Pro League and Play-Offs) so guess he was injured quite a bit

Hovi's Biscuit

Wonder who his agent is?

superclive

The is capable at lb. It's just a case of playing him there

Sarr had hardly played though. Teixeria has plenty of experience

That's the thing. Is it Hor-Gay, Jorzh or George?

kitchenchef

I don't know!! I asked you?

"Teh-xhare-ra"

- With the xh being more representative of a "sh", but the "sh" comes from slightly behind the front of the mouth, compared to when you say "sh" in english words (e.g. shoe), making it slightly softer.

Well, that's the best I can do as someone who doesn't speak Portuguese...

hawksmoor

I'm going with a gutteral Hor-Gay, then. Kind of Hor-kkkkkkk-Ay.

Simonsen

He might be able to bring the best out of Sarr. We shall see.
