+++Conor Coventry joins on a 3 1/2 year deal+++

Seems a good prospect, hopefully he goes on to be a legend. 

Credit to Scott if he got this over the line

Spooky , he looks the spit of my eldest sons mate who is a west ham fan but goes to the odd Charlton game , he went Port Vale Saturday , he also goes to the same school where Conor went and is shit at football and currently out injured ( i made the last two bits up)

You know what, I never doubted these lot, some of yous did, but not me 

Welcome to the biggest club in South London Conor, if you're half as good as the other Irish midfielders we have had play for us, that will do me. 

At face value, sounds like a promising signing and a player we can build with for next season. Look forward to seeing him play.

One swallow doth not a summer make but it does fall in with what I was told a month ago that our recruitment would be targeting quality players. In isolation it’s just a good signing. To make it sing we need two more of equal standing this window and four more in the summer. Easier said than done but at least we’ve made a start. 

oohaahmortimer

Is he available for tomorrow?

Is it ok to pass a positive opinion on him after 5 mins football but if he looks shit we've got to give it half a season before making comment .

As per usual will judge when he plays in a Charlton shirt.

How much do we believe he cost ?

Six-a-bag-of-nuts

Just the boost we all needed.
More please

Thoughts of a West Ham supporting mate of mine

Wont get excited over a player i haven't seen play - but a great statement of intent from the board.  onwards and upwards.
COYR.

Happy to see some investment and we beat Wed to the deal. Must be decent altho I haven't seen him play.

Lincsaddick

welcome Conor and all the very best during your time with the Addicks .. we all want you to bring some steel, some solidity and (please) accurate passing to our midfield .. too late to play v the Posh I think, but I am  looking forward very much to your debut

soapy_jones

Excellent.  Now keep em coming!

Good player & knows people in the squad so should settle in well. Think he’d look great next to Dobbo in the midfield 

Am I the only one assuming he's the Dobbo replacement then?

Possibly but hope you are wrong, would be best if we had both Dobson & Connor.  If we move on one senior midfielder prefer it to be Fraser.

No, sadly.

Hopefully we're wrong!  At least there is a replacement if it happens though, we're not just promoting one of the '8' youth teamers.

Is he injured?

No, I'm afraid I lol'd fenaddicks post as soon as I read it.

Give him another five mins to settle in at the club, and am sure he will be

Whether Dobbo stays or goes is up to Dobbo. He's been offered a decent contract. 

StrikerFirmani

This seems the first positive if all the clamour for him proves right, certainly hope so and a first tick in the box for Scott, need more decent players brought in now to kick on.

Understand he got a severe paper cut signing the contract and will be out for the rest of the season.

Good news on a Friday, what is not to like? Good luck Conor.

Sounds positive though no idea if he's any good, people were raving about Terry Taylor when he signed so not getting too excited just yet. Good luck Conor. 

Terry Taylor will be like a new signing when he returns.

I always assume that will be the reaction to anything I post!

You talking about Gavin Kilkenny?

I wish Conor Coventry good luck and good health.
The biggest surprise to me is CL members have friends !

Hope he's good on the grass... Welcome Conor!

Fortunately I don't have any scummy West Ham mates so don't have a clue if he's any good. Will be interesting to revisit this thread at the end of the season to see if he has lived up to expectations.

Wouldn’t it be funny if Wednesday let us have Bakinson on the pretence that they were signing Coventry. And here we are with both … hehe 😛
