Worth cautiously noting it was the last game of the season and a dead rubber. He was subbed in the 59th minCallumcafc said:He looks to have good pedigree. You don’t get thrown into a starting XI against Juventus at the back end of last season for no reason.14 -

True enough but we did the same with Asiimwe at the back end of last season. It's usually the ones you think have a chance of playing for the first team the following season that get that chance...

He needs to be good because Hector and Thomas can't be relied upon.
I would have preferred to see a dominant centre back in the Inniss mould, but without the rushes of blood, as at the moment our CBs are not doing the business in either penalty box.2 -
Hope he’s better than some of those other Abankwahs we’ve had the last few years.13

You'll never beat Abankwah...Jac_52 said:The referee's abankwah1 -

No, she's been snapped up by the Saudi league for £40,000,000ForeverAddickted said:If anything doesnt it look good seeing a signing from Udinese on the Main Page, it could be Clementina the Tea Lady from Barcelona for all I care3 -
welcome James, I hope it all works out very well for all parties2

Feels like a proper Football Manager signing this, when you're scouring the loan market and some random kid pops up being available, and even though he's young he reads like he has all the attributes to be the next Maldini.6

Not enough exotic names in the squad. Jones, Watson, Anderson, Dobson etc.
This redresses the balance nicely.5 -

You're right, Tennai, Karoy, Chem and Tayo are really boring, run of the mill names aren't they.grumpyaddick said:Not enough exotic names in the squad. Jones, Watson, Anderson, Dobson etc.

They took another young Irish kid called Festy Ebosele as well. Just read an article that said Italian clubs have stepped up taking in Irish youngsters since Brexit as the age they can come to UK clubs had been raised from 16 to 18. Seems Irish clubs are getting a jump start getting them before 18North Lower Neil said:St Pats Athletic to Udinese is really random, how did they spot him?6 -
I mentioned on the rumours thread that there are a number of Twitter sites (Eire Guide, Kenny’s Kids & Rep of Ireland Player Tracker) who have all been very positive about James for some time. He’s long been regarded as a great prospect and there’s a lot about him that is very impressive as to his character. No idea if this will work out for both the club & James, but wish him all the best ☘️ #CharltonIrish19

I’m guessing there’s an agent link with Scott / Rowell (he’s with the big Wasserman agency)limeygent said:"Casting our net" far and wide, like the look of this one.3 -

How dare you, I heard of him last week or maybe early this. To be honest I thought it was a pisstake made up nameCroydon said:Never heard of him I'd say anyone who says they have is probably lying.
