Good signing, I think the fact he was on the list mentioned a while back by Cawley, tells us the club was looking at alternatives for May. Think he can bag 15-20 in a good team and has bags of experience in this league and the league above.
Might be a decent player but I hoped the 'we want players who will grow with us, can play in the Championship with us' was the aim, and at 33 I'm not convinced Godden fits that.
Would rather be looking to sign players with a view to a few years, not 2.
Fingers crossed he has 2 great years and I'm wrong.
I think he's a good signing potentially, bit worried about his age and lack of appearances recently, but we have limited resources. I am curious to know what the fee was,
Not sure what to make of this one… gutted may has left so I guess it was always going to be a bit hard for his replacement to really cause enthusiasm..
but let’s see, hopefully I get a nice helping of humble pie when he bags 20 this season…
I will be the first to eat my words, if he averages a goal every 2 games like Alfie did.
His record last he played in L1 was 14 goals in 26 games, so actually just a bit BETTER than 1 in 2. If time has not been too cruel you may just be dining on that...
Good luck Matt Godden, I believe Kanu will benefit from having him around! IIfyiu can hit the ground running and fingerscrossed Leaburn to come back we will have the start of a really good front line. There are some goods signs of having leaders from the back line to the forward line running through the team. Now lets pick up a half decent goalkeeper! Staying positive for the build up to the season, a long way to go in building this team, but we are beginning to see the wòods through the 🌳

But not every signing can be like that. We need a few old heads with experience and know how.
I am happy with this signing. Always been impressed with Godden when I’ve seen him play. Don’t see him at all as an Alfie replacement, he’s a different type of player. He may not score as many goals as Alfie, no one probably will, but he will help the team in other ways and if that means the team as a whole is better then that’s great. Plus I’m happy to bow to Nathan Jones’s greater knowledge and if he prefers Godden to suit his system more than he does May then so be it. And I’m not concerned Godden didn’t get much game time last season as he had 12m Ellis Simms and Hadji Wright to contend with.

Other than that, welcome to Charlton, Godden

Welcome Matty and good luck.
Meanwhile our best player is off to opposition.
So very Charlton.
What's not to like ?
