When the interviewer asks questions surely there can be an upgrade on all those questions that start with a 'How?' I know it isn't every single question, but it is a lot.
How pleased are you How much does it mean to be How important is it seeing familiar faces
...and so on.
Each question could be answered with a mark out of ten.
'So Conor, how pleased are you to be working with Michael Appleton again?' 'Four'.
A more revealing question is one that doesn't lead the answer but leaves the person open to being more of themselves, for example: 'How pleased are you to have made your debut?' could simply be replaced with 'What did making your debut feel like?'
One of my geeky sons said he’s had 240 mins of game time for West Ham’s first team , surely it can’t be that little . The way he’s getting talked up I thought he’d had bit more than that
Am I getting old or are these players just kids. Let’s get some old warhorses in too, who know the ropes and can guide us to promotion next season .
Gillesphey’s 28 and been promoted from L1 with Plymouth. I hope he’s not the only experienced player who joins, definitely need a few more, JCH or Ladapo could be another.
Odds on Charlton fans, inventive as we are, rehashing the "she's electric" song we used for Conor Gallagher and then Connor Washington for our latest Conor?
One of the worst chants going. Even worse than Lloyd Jones'
Welcome Conor. Nice to have an Irish midfielder following the footsteps of Matt Holland and the legendary Mark Kinsella. Be a winner…..in every game between now and the end of the season, and beyond. Good luck and best wishes, now score a hat trick against Peterborough in the first five minutes of the game tomorrow in order to establish yourself here😀
I believe the fee is in the region of about 450k for the type of player we are getting
anything less than that is a Bargain, saw him play against us and thought he was absolutely outstanding 🫡
He might be "worth" that but seeing as he was out of contract in the summer I doubt that that was what we paid. Anyway reports are encouraging, lets hope he's an addition to Dobbo rather than a replacement otherwise we're beck to where we were.

You forgot Eamon Dunphy.lol
Rightly so. Called us a soulless club.
Fecking gobby little twiglet. Lucky for him he had blockheads like Kitchener and Cripps to protect him. Always thought he was about as Millwall as fcuking dressage horse. If he was 20 years later I bet no spanner would have his name on their shirt, may as well have Smack Me on it
I think the £1m figure may be the expected value for West Ham out of this deal?
If so, you could imagine something like £200k up front and a 20% sell on if we sold him for £4m in the future.
Picking random numbers out of the air to make £1m in total but you get my point.
My thoughts too. Rumour is they wanted a 50% sell on and that’s what Sheff Wednesday couldn’t agree too. Perhaps we did.
A bit disingenuous to be saying we beat Wednesday to his signing, if that's the case. You wouldn't saying you beat someone to buying a house, if the amount you've paid is significantly higher. Perhaps when put side by side, he could see that both teams are likely to be in league one next season and hopes we are a club on the up, as they are coming down.
Seems a good player, but the proof will be on the pitch. Please stay fit Conor.

Welcome the madhouse.
Sheffield's finest are now only 3 points from safety.

I’m excited to see what he’s like, but all these people with West Ham ‘mates’ bigging him up / giving scouting reports - he barely played for them at all. His only prem appearance (according to Wikipedia) was as a 92 min sub !!! I appreciate people watch youth football and follow his loan moves etc. but an mk dons fan for example would have a much better insight.

All rate him. They described him as a poor man’s Mark Noble, and said Charlton have got themselves a good player.
That seems an outrageously high amount to spend.

Joyless. Absolutely.

It'll be two years before we play them next.
