Welcome Corey. I’d never heard of you a week ago but you’re an Addick now so best of luck!
These left field, “never heard of him” signings often do better for us than better known players who join us. Hopefully this is one of those cases. Presumably the club have seen something they like for us to sign him.
Sensible short term deal. Gives us the chance to have a good long look at him and then extend it if we are impressed. On the down side if he does well then he might earn himself a contract at Ipswich.
He's an unknown quantity, has hopefully proven enough in training to warrant a deal - Now just needs to prove he can hack it at the level we need him to, if he can do that then hopefully he'll get a longer deal, if his reputation carries on here we can wash our hands of him.
Shame we didnt take a similar approach with some other players in the past.
Guess its not always easy to do so though, if they're going to refuse
Contract length says more than the comments from NA, TS and SG do. Hopefully he surprises us and wins a longer deal.
I guess the issue is we needed cover for DJ and Kirk which rules out a loan winger coming in and getting regular game time. For the same reason we won’t pay a fee for a winger who will only be a squad player.
If he has touted attitude problem a 4 month contract and "get your head down and crack on" approach may be sensible.
If he has the hunger and drive to meet his potential and demonstrates an ability to contribute to the squad it may lead to a longer deal, if not then we'll free up a squad place and wage for January window.
Welcome CBT.
Hope he's shit as his name will cost a fortune on the kid's shirts if he becomes a club favourite.

But we desperately needed additional players, so I guess he was the best they could manage

I pray to god he doesn’t read some of the shit on here.
Pile of shit

Hopefully we've uncovered a gem. League One Leko 🤞🏼
A better alternative than Clayden I feel.
