Sam Lavelle is the brother of a friend of @Len\'s_little_girl. She told me in advance this transfer might happen but I had strict instructions to post nothing on Charlton Life.
Decent signing I think who could get better.
How could anyone have advance notice we left everything to the last minute..........
According to the BBC website he signed at 11:30 pm. Earlier in the day or a day or two earlier is technically 'in advance'
She told me at 10:51am yesterday that it had fallen through but texted me at 6:12pm to say it was happening.
Just to say that the transfer was resurrected by Thomas Sandgaard himself telephoning Sam Lavelle and speaking to him from what @Len\'s_little_girl has been told.
Furthermore, Sam and Kirk are in apartments near the O2 and apparently get on well together. Pearce and Stockley have been the most welcoming of the existing playing staff apparently.

As club captain and first team captain respectively, you'd expect Pearce and Stockley to be at the forefront of his welcome and integration. I'd expect the rest of the squad to be welcoming too. They should be happy with the arrival of new players. Added competition for places of course but also greater chance of success and the rewards that come with that.
I suspect we could make a back 3 work. Soare perhaps can play LWB and maybe Clare on the right - not a natural position for him but we know he has played full back.
I’d be surprised if it’s a formation we play by default at any time during the season, bu we might see it t as an option to change it during a game or to counteract a specific opponent.
He looked a bit off the pace yesterday although I'm hopeful he will turn out to be a decent player. Out of interest does anyone know if he has been playing regularly for Morecombe so far this season?

A bit awkward ? If he improves and gets pace it will be a miracle. He has played 139 games plus 1 for us. He is in his prime. He has only ever played L2.
If cramp caused this Immobility and lack of pace then he had it from the start.
I can think of a few CB who within 2 games or so looked superb and were still teenagers.
Richard Rufus, Deji Eliwere, Jonathon Fortune, Paul Went, Paul Elliot, Marvin Hinton, Eric Konsa, Joe Gomez.
All at the age of 22-23 were far better. They were better when they were 18-20.

Eric Konsa?
I don’t remember him, was that his brother?
I think he was around at the same time as Barry Lennon.

Especially without attacking fullback/wingbacks.
