Bree isn't to be sniffed at. A tigerish truckler I hear.1

He sings as well, multi talented then, hold on, can he take a free kick???ElliotCAFC said:I like the singing of Bree, despite knowing absolutely nothing about him.
Perennial Championship player with decent Premier League experience, entering his prime years. I can't see him coming here if he isn't going to get a lot of game time, so it will be interesting what that means for Apter.1 -

You'd be cheesed off if we signed him?Henry Irving said:
No, just NOCB1 said:James Bree follows Harvey Knibbs on instagram. I don’t know if they have played together before but is a bit random.
The cheese puns will be unbearable.
This is a serious thread, can you please be a bit more mature about it.

I wonder if there is the possibility of anymore. Bree looks a decent enough addition, and makes sense to me.I think we’re okay for forwards now that Apter could technically operate in a similar role to TC if Bree is RWB.This is just my personal opinion, but I think we need a pacier, stronger option in midfield than Coventry and Doc. I don’t think we’re at all in the market for that position, but I think it could unlock a lot more both defensively and offensively8

Other than the goal against Watford, I know he hasn't set the world alight, but isn't that Knibbs when he's up to speed?cabbles said:This is just my personal opinion, but I think we need a pacier, stronger option in midfield than Coventry and Doc.

Which is the way it goes sometimes - I think that the Fukuda interest was real but ultimately we need cover now, not in a few months time. If Fukuda/his club are determined to wait, we'll have to write it off.hermann said:Bree sounds like a good addition but would surely mean the end of the Fukuda interest?0 -
Bree has been compared with Ben White of Arsenal. Personally, I think they’re chalk and cheese.36

A lot of hype around Bree already. We need to think Caerphilly before assuming he'll be good enough.13

I meant more on the defensive side. I don’t think Coventry or Doc have put a foot wrong so far, I just have some doubts after Saturday about how well the middle three both break down and get the ball moving going forward. Coventry sitting the deepest of the three is good on the ball, reads the game well, but such is the pace of this division, I’ve started to think more and more about someone quicker in there, or where Doc operates that can do all of the defensive stuff, but stronger and quicker.WSS said:

Unfortunately not enough to sort out the lock on the toilet door thoughCafcWest said:
Crazy money! £125m for one player. That could buy Charlton, whole team, club, the Valley and training ground, fix the fan's WIFI, any remaining potholes and move the hand dryer in the lower west gents and still have money left over to buy everyone a beer!!RodneyCharltonTrotta said:Just missed out on Isak it seems

Bree would be a great signing, would be coming to start though, so would be interesting to see where we go there?1

I think most people agree we should have upgraded there. In theory we have though, as we bought Costello to play there. I don’t think we’ve seen enough of him yet to say whether he’s what we need or notcabbles said:

I definitely agree. Coventry won 70% of his tackles in L1, but thus far, has won only 28% in the Championship. That is a dramatic drop-off. He's still getting into duels but he's not winning the ball. Championship midfielders seem to be a lot bigger on the whole. Our two midfielders have good engines but they're not the strongest.cabbles said:

Preston also now want Tom cannon on loan from Sheff U. This has to mean that we are the favourites for David Fofana.0

I think all the players we've signed will be coming to start. It is up to him to prove he deserves that spot and up to those that are already here to prove they should. We need competition for every spot and also players that are more suited to different opposition.1 - Sponsored links:

I like the sound of Bree, played a lot of games in this league just two seasons ago, struggled the last two but Saints were a promotion side and the Prem is the prem, hard to make an impact.
27, lots of experience, worked with our manager before. Like that a lot.
Hopefully means we can pick up Fukuda on a free in January and then we have plenty of cover on that right side all of a sudden.0 -

O'Rourke is usually fairly reliable though isnt he... Unless he's doing Agents a favour.fenaddick said:

He's not Cawley levels, but he's not as a shit as Nixon6 -
To be fair, 'I don't know what I'm talking about but here's my opinion anyway' could be Charlton Life's mottoScoham said:

True. Judging by what I have seen of him so far (albeit very limited), I wouldn’t say he’s the quickest, but I would definitely like to see more of himNabySarr said:

All these cheese puns have left me in a bit of a pickle2

As others have said I can't imagine a player like Bree in his mid-20's who started that many premier league games last season coming in as RWB cover for Charlton. He will expect to start and begs the question where does Apter move to? We cannot drop Apter, has been far and away the best of the new recruits so far, perhaps he moves into the TC role?6

I’m surprised we didn’t add that kind of player. I think the jumps between leagues are now bigger jumps physically than they are technically. But that does put a premium on those bigger and stronger players which is probably why we haven’t been able to add that in midfieldChunes said:
