Every time we get rumoured to anyone someone does this line up thing and says 'doesn't look a bad side'. It is a bad fucking side, that's why we are where we are. One new central defender doesn't magically make Fox, Bergdich and JBG quality players, they've been utter toilet all season.
Welcome Reece, I hope your stay in SE7 is enjoyable for you and fruitful for us. I've now absolutely run out of similes, metaphors and allegories to try to illustrate the extremity of the farce enveloping all aspects of the running of the football club we remembered as Charlton Athletic. I'm sure Reece Oxford is a terrific talent, I'm sure he has a supernova bright career ahead of him but what "lesson has been learned" if he is an answer to the needs of the current squad. He's only just 17, he might be a centre half, he might be a defensive midfielder but at 17 he doesn't know, his West Ham coaches don't know, so who exactly at Charlton can have the first fucking hint of an iota of a sliver of an idea? Championship experience indeed! Much professional football experience at all? I didn't give Richard Murray's "statement" any credibility at all but just in case there are any organisms out there still prepared to credit the regime with a scintilla of care as to its role at CAFC, it has just shit in your mouth, and laughed while doing it. At this rate those flats over the Jimmy Seed stand are gonna workout as cost effective to build as the new Wembley. Roly Douchebollox is showing even our dribblingly inept FA how to monumentally fuck up a project and have it cost 20 times what it should. I'd be delighted to see Oxford, Poyet, Johnson et al contribute manfully to the turnaround of Charlton's form and to finish 21st, 1 point ahead of the 3rd worst team in the division. But the odds are shortening rapidly that we'll be adrift 24th and first to be relegated. Bolton's situation is quite different but Rotherham and Bristol City are strengthening their squads for the run in, Charlton in contrast is dicking about and playing silly fuckers while its footballing world crumbles to dust around it. It matters not one jot who might be signed between now and Monday afternoon, the gig is up, the cards are dealt, the fix is in. This is now the sickest pantomime in footballing history. By comparison to Roly Douchebollox even that cunt Michael Macintyre is funny. I'd sooner have a pint with Simon Jordan. Help me out people, I last likened Charlton's plight to falling through The Looking Glass and being the weirdest pedestrian in Wonderland, so what words can now usefully explain the situation?
typical of the farce at the club, bringing in a 17 year old to do a mans job. no disrespect to the kid but I feel we need experience, not raw talent.
age .. I give you Norman Whiteside, Wayne Rooney, Delli Ali and a few more will come to mind I am sure .. cliché time .. IF you're good enough, you're old enough
fair comment. but is this kid the same as them, i have no idea but we're in a right fix and i'm not sure it's the right place to drop kids into, of course i could be wrong,i hope i am.

It pains me how much I have to agree with your comments.
Sadly, there is no magic fix, I think it will take months of hard work, and maybe even a Valley Party MkII, to remove the regime.
I can't believe how many fans still think we are better off than with the Spivs. All that's happened is that we'll get relegated two years later, with barely a whimper and huge debts to Sta(y)prix; who, let's face it, will....
Absolutely laughable that people are slagging this loan off, he's one of the brightest talents in british football. Imagine we'd refused to play Gomez when we were in a sticky situation last year on the back of him only being 17. This lad completely bossed a Arsenal midfield which included Coquelin, Ozil and Carzola. He's also beyond his years physically like our very own Joe. Let him play a few games just like Big Jorge before you go writing him off because he's he was signed by the regime.

He's a lot taller than 5ft 10.
Yes, thanks. Looking it up, he's 1.9m (6ft 3 in) on wiki. Edited stats above.
several confirmed moves .. Joe Pigott to Luton and Bristol City make two good signing ..Scott Golbourne, a decent left back from Wolves and the VERY decent lee Tomlin loaned from Bournemouth .. 2 who would have been welcome at the Valley as players and not visiting with the 'Titties'
Same age as Lookman and we seem to be relying on him to save us so I'm reasonably happy with this one.
We still need an attacking winger (to allow JBG to play more centrally) or central midfielder now. Fat chance though I know (no, not Andy Reid).
Drop JBG. We might have a better chance. Last season I used to put money on him being first goal scorer. He was my favourite player. This season he has been awful.
#rufc can confirm the signing of midfielder Chris Dawson on an 18 month contract. Rotherham have just signed this guy from Leeds Utd. Obviously known to Redfearn from his time there.

Soccerway's stats are out of date - he's grown five inches in the last month. Just imagine what a monster he's going to be when fully grown.
If he doesn't want to be here then he can do one as far as I'm concerned. He clearly has been told by West Ham something along the lines of we want to send you to Charlton, and then gone on Twitter and acted like a brat? Unprofessional whether he is 17 or 27. No thank you.

Just embarassing if that's the case, Louis makes an interesting observation too:
Hopefully, he didn't.
