Svetoslav Todorov has agreed to join Championship outfit Charlton on a one-year deal after turning down a new deal at Portsmouth. Todorov has agreed to join the Addicks after rejecting the chance of a return to Bulgaria with Levski Sofia.
Leicester, Stoke and Wigan were all quickly linked with a move for the 28-year-old after he turned down the offer of a new deal from Portsmouth
But Charlton have won the race to sign the Bulgaria international.
He told Darik radio: "Everything happened really fast, I passed the medicals and am training with Charlton."
Top signing, great experience in the CCC, scored the goals that won Portsmouth the title a fews years ago, if he stays fit it's a darn good signing, well done Pards, if this is true of course
so if Marcus goes it'll be Varney, Toddy, Dicko, Big Chris and possibly Eastwood. More than good enough to get us enough goals to go up. Would be happy with that lot. If not Eastwood then AN Other.
With the mandatory "if its true" prefix, this might be a v good signing. Seem to recall him scoring in bursts like James Beattie, but having an understandable barren spell after a couple of howlers under the bar were highlighted on tv, but as Rothko observed, good promotion-winning season for Pompey, and we might've been concerned if he'd signed for a potential top six rival. If he scores early for us, he could get loads. If he's injured too often, it's only a one-season deal. Interesting too that he was prepared to take it - shame M Bent wasn't! Perhaps he'll get a chance to see up close what being a target man is like.
[cite]Posted By: mart77[/cite]rothko do you really think Dickson will get many games next year?
Dunno, if he starts off banging them in during pre season, and looks the part in the stiffs, who knows
i suppose so. i'm disappointed we've missed out on eastwood and signed a massive sicknote. i'm normally positive and can see why we've made this signing but our record of signing sicknotes, in the hope that we'll sort them out, isn't great. i've actually got higher hopes of dickson than todorov. (this is my most negative post ever)
am i being too demanding but it's all very well they have a sentence from him on teamtalk/addickted but where's the OS confirmation/lightning speed text we've been getting so promptly recently?
Perhaps its not a done deal yet. Passed his medical and started training etc...but hasn't actually signed the contract yet, hence no official announcement

It's not official until Addickted run the story. : - )
Good signing if it turns out to be true, especially if he has passed a medical.
When fit, he has an excellent first touch, good movement and energy and i think a decent football brain. Is his finishing up to standard ??
Definitely ... Sunday League standard!!!
I hope not
Fingers crossed its the end of Marcus!
He's had every injury bar malaria"
OK then, it will have to be
"Oh Toddy-Toody, Toddy, Toddy, Toddy, Toddy, Todorov"
He can keep Gibbs and Reid company although three is a crowd
Eastwood signed for Wolves today.
As for Bent, its one thing wanting a player out, its another thing another club wanting him....
Yeah we have bought him to play Centre half as Pards believes in the Curbs way, if you cannot play at least 18 other positions you don't play. :-)

looks like he could play off Marcus :- 0
only 77 games since 2002 is pretty terrible though
