Once again a player who didn't perform at the level above stepping down to see out another year of his career.
Meanwhile our best player is off to opposition.
So very Charlton.
Didn’t perform you having a giggle …
He scored 6 goals last season. Does that qualify as "performing" to you?
Believe me, I'm not giggling.
6 goals in 23 starts. His game is more about scoring goals though. But don’t let that affect your judgement eh?
I don't mind that at all, as long as we also bring someone in who can at least hit double figures. May going isn't the end of the world, provided we get a lot more goals from the team as a whole. Last season it was pretty much May or bust when it came to scoring. We aren't going to get another Alfie May, but we can make sure we have other players who can contribute to the overall goal tally.
Exactly. You can make a good case of ‘May keeping us up’ but you need to remember that the inability of the rest of the team to chip in when he had a lean spell probably contributed to us being in the shit in the first place. Happy for Godden to hit 10 as long as we’ve a couple of others approaching 15 goals
The concept seems to be that he won't necessarily bring the same number of goals individually as May did but will bring more overall - leadership, experience etc and hopefully hit somewhere in double figures for goals as well.
If it works (and someone else also gets some goals) then it's a decent idea and a good signing. I wouldn't even presume that his age definitely against him, if he's looking after himself and our new medical team do their jobs he could still get plenty of play.
It's definitely a gamble, I'm happy with this if we sign at least one other striker but if we finish the window having only swapped May for Godden I will have major reservations.
Over to you Nathan Jones, let's hope you know what you're doing.
Birmingham mate said he’s a good player who will do well in League One . oh he came from Coventry you say , sorry Coventry mate or wherever he’s come from says he’ll do well for us
I like this signing , I just hope we have the depth around him so we aren't starting Mbick or Casey by October because we didn't land another senior target and Chuks and Miles have got injured.
A lot of first time finishes in that youtube video so is a natural finisher at least, would hope and expect him and Leaburn to be the first choice as a perfect foil for eachother
His recent injury record in a bit concerning, that and the fact he's 33. So much for building a team that can be developed and grow with the club. Just seems like another summer of plugging the ever widening holes in the bow of HMS Pisstheleague
OK. I'll stick to bedwetting on this one, you lot can clap yourself silly.
Not clapping myself silly at all, not everyone has to give a black or white opinion on each signing.
It never fails to amaze me how so many people live in a black and white world. It has to be brilliant or shite and the decision has to be made right now. It doesn't matter about waiting to see before deciding. I bet the majority haven't even seen Godden play 10 full games. Quite a lot haven't even seen 10 Charlton games in a while.

Last four seasons has tallies of 6, 8, 12 and 6. In the Championship to give that level of balance.
For a player considered more of a 'complete player' there's very little in way of assists from him.
I'm whelmed but open to seeing him play and will make judgement from there.

Morris!

welcome Matty!
Welcome and good luck, because much like Connor Coventry, you're going to fing need it.
Who scores at best once in 4 games and he is the replacement for May. What a joke.

Any news on one coming in?
