I like the look of him. Good ball control, skillful, passes well and comes deep to get the ball. He reminds me of a young and interested Carlton Cole.
I was going to use the same comparison, won't score a bucket load but hopefully can hold it up and bring players like Johan and Igor into the game. Whilst not being a slouch and giving the defenders something to think about in behind which Big Mak doesn't.
Is a 23 year old player from Arsenal, who have been on loan at Ajax, so unfit that he can't do a 15 minute cameo in a game, where we had two CB on the bench at home ?
When asked at his post match press conference whether Fanni and Sanogo were his signings, Riga avoided answering, saying only that he hoped that they would be helpful for Charlton in the future. Taken with the fact that neither were on the bench yesterday, it seems very likely that once again players have been foisted upon the manager without his approval. Perhaps an explanation for the teams lacklustre performance yesterday.

Think the answer is yes seeing he has only played just over half agame this season.

Heard on the grapevine that neither of them were even at the ground yesterday. So much for team spirit.
This is why the 'Sporting Director' model that is favoured by European clubs, is so badly flawed.
How can you blame a manager for results, when he has not been given the choice of players to bring to the club?
It's like being made a CEO of a bluechip company, and then being told that you can only work with the staff already hired, or ones that are brought in by the board above your head - utter madness.
We needed players who could hit the ground running, and yet most of our signings are the very opposite of that (Sanogo, Fanni, Johnson and to a lesser extent Poyet).
We are the only club in the world who would Sign players to improve the team according to the press Releases surrounding them and not play them, that's for sure barn cake club

No need for both Sarr and Johnson to be on the bench in a winnable game.
