Riga knows that Solly's knees are fooked so that can't play more than once a week. We have five Tuesday night games scheduled over our run in, and from all accounts, Fanni is at this stage of his career, a 'centre back who can play right back'. I think Fanni was brought in as an older head to play (or even just be around training) when Diarra is out, and this lad, who comes highly rated from Watford in our league, will offer the true right back cover we need when Solly can't play. As the first of these games isn't for a couple of weeks his lack of fitness shouldn't be too much of an issue.
(Then again, maybe I'm being too glass half full here, and looking for logic where none has been applied).0 -
Roland as owner and a fascist as manager - two reasons not to renew my season ticket.addicksmad said:The only Italian that would make me happy is Paulo Di Canio as manager, armed with a decent budget to rebuild without interference

Perhaps we've made this signing because Bauer and Solly aren't going to play every game this season, Diarra is wasted in defence, and Fox, THD, Sarr and Lennon (at the moment) aren't good enough. That then gives us a possible back four of Motta on the left, Tex and Fanni/Bauer, in the middle, Solly on the right, with Fox in for Motta and Motta moved to the right when Solly needs a rest.1

Was this guy at at Watford the same time as our Interim chief scout Mark Sow?1

Katrien has told Roland that CARD stands for Campaign for Accumulating Right-sided Defenders. Roland now believes the board has proved that they are listening to the customers.23

In a week or two's time our defence will probably read
Henderson
Solly Fanni Teixeira Motta
Better than
Henderson
Solly Johnson Williams Lennon
Right?4 -
Without seeing 2 of those play it's very hard to tell. But I'm not too keen on the idea of a right back playing left back and Fanni playing (football) after having hardly any game time under his belt.sam3110 said:In a week or two's time our defence will probably read

Right?
The bottom line is defensively we have very very little quality at all. Don't see many clean sheets between now and the end of the season.
Feel sorry for Henderson.

On paper obviously yes but Fanni and Motta have hardly played this season.
How far off returning are Diarra and Bauer?0 -

I wonder if we are going down the 3-5-2 route in an attempt to get JBG more central and still keep two strikers ahead of him?0

Any link to the Italian ice cream family? Back in the day Gelati Motta was excellent.

Which just proves how much Roland knows about football and footballers.... f*** all!C_A_F_C said:

I've never heard of him or seen him play but I believe him to be useless2

It takes time to find creative midfielders who are cheap enough and no one else wants.cafc999 said:Great, we are crying out for a creative midfielder and we sign another defender.

Perhaps RD/KM need to realise that there is a reason why this is the case. Their view that you need to avoid traditional methods and avoid competing for the signing of players and managers is not perhaps unsurprisingly now being repeated by the team in the Championship. Perhaps we could move to a league that supports their alternative football paradigm!0 -
As someone with an informed opinion, you have no place in this threadRedPanda said:I didn't see him for Watford but I used to watch him as a right midfielder and right back, solid at the back, a good reader of play and decent dribbler. He's intelligent, someone you could describe as 'accomplished'. He was definitely a Serie A quality player, hence his past clubs and so I'm pleasantly surprised. He would have been a great signing in August.

This for me is the problem with any new signing we make now. If a player comes to us with the club in the mess it's in, I'm immediately questioning what's wrong with him. No sane player with options would chose to come to Duchatelet's Charlton, so until there's a change of policy or a change of ownership we're only going to get high risk or sub-standard players that no-one else wants.Tutt-Tutt said:
looks like a decent player at Championship level? Then why has he not been signed up by one of the 23 clubs above us and been unattached since August? Perhaps the rest of the league are missing a trick by looking at his previous performances and deciding he ain't up to it. it's far too over-rated having a Director of football or Chief Scout making football decisions. just have a guess or find an ex-teammate to give you a reference. then make the signing....it worked with VazTe.killerandflash said:Looks a decent player at Championship level, strange that he has been unattached since the summer. Why sign him now, and not 1 or 2 months ago though?
36 U21 caps must be a record, and Italians generally know about defenders
I sincerely hope that Motta can come in and play well at this level, and wish him well. It used to be a moment of optimism and wonder when we signed someone,but I really can't help but feel cynical and negative about every new signing that's made. Just one more way that Two Shats is sucking the fun out of football.2 -

Of course you may know my reasons for expressing my opinion better than I do. And there was me, foolishly assuming that I expressed displeasure because I am exasperated with the actions of the regime.
Personally, I think the recruitment "strategy", if there is one, is akin to a punch-drunk boxer grabbing out for any rope to hang on to....0 -

Why no creative midfielder?0

Not sure, but I bet like most of the squad he will melt under pressure.cafcfan said:Any link to the Italian ice cream family? Back in the day Gelati Motta was excellent.

Bizarre signing, again - not had a Club since August, signed a RB already this week, Solly has had an injury free season, will be unfit, not eligible to play Saturday. Really, what is the point?3
-
He will probably go on loan somewhere else next week anyway0
-
He's been training with QPR for a while, but they decided not to sign him. Hopefully he's in decent shape for the exertions to get a contract there...0

Colin's head is so far up Rolys backside he must be able to see Katrien's shoes.Fanny Fanackapan said:

Not signed a keeper for a while, I'm quite dissapointed.1

Think Fanni will be playing centre back.rikofold said:I suspect he or Solly will end up as left back - but maybe Solly's knees are causing him gip again. I don't think we need to lose any sleep over this one, although it might say something about Riga's view of the Fanni signing.

Exactly what I said at the beginning of the week in the pre match thread.Simonsen said:I wonder if we are going down the 3-5-2 route in an attempt to get JBG more central and still keep two strikers ahead of him?
With the squad we have now, it seems the most logical and balanced way to go. But this is Charlton so I doubt they would do that.
I think if Motta is near match fit, he would be a good signing, you don't play for Juventus, Udinese and Roma if you don't have something about you.

I've been wondering this as well. Left wing back would be a good position for Berdich, and Motta would slot in nicely on the other side (when fit). As the back three you'd have Texiera, then two from Solly, Lennon, Johnson, Sarr, and Bauer/Diarra when fit. Fox could also potentially slot in there. I think a back three would help the likes of Lennon, Fox, and Sarr as it takes some of the pressure off of them from being in a central defensive two.Sage said:
