    He signed for the Belgian outfit at the end of the transfer window in January of last year but failed to score in 11 appearances for his new side.
    He's only started 1 game for Standard Liege (just to add a little bit of perspective to that less than impressive looking stat..).

    People were getting excited over COG who had a similar goals to games ratio over his career and certainly had never played in the Europa League. And this guy is the same height as him. Good age, what's not to like? I don't hold not having heard of foreign signings against them. I am sure a standard liege fan wouldn't be wetting themselves over Chris O Grady either.

    The magnificent 7, lets hope so.

    Yeah it's him. Was hoping for De Camargo but found out he only missed the game yesterday due to a bad back. Quite a young forward line with Tucudean, Vetokele and Gudmundsson.

    I think we're going to have to get used to a fairly young squad under Duchatelet. Nothing wrong with that mind.
  • Is it a loan or permanent?

    A pre season video from a couple of weeks ago.

    Tucudean is number 9 and scores a couple in the second half.

    Other highlights include an Ajdarevic goal (set up by Tucudean) and Thuram giving a goalkeeping masterclass on how to deal with a free kick launched into your penalty box.

  • How do you pronounce Tucudean? Is it tuck-u-dee-an? If so, quadrisyllabic names make him a rarity. I bet it's something unlikely such as Toos-an. Any O level Romanian scholars in the house.

    Never heard of him (or most of the other signings come to that) but what he and the others do for Charlton is all that matters.

    Just flicked through so can someone tell me that Georgie is definitely a new acquisition or are we jumping the gun?

    Captain Thuram. Wouldn't mind seeing Astrit back here.

    Quality viewing of abysmal goal keeping from Thuram.

    Depends if he's any good. If he's good then loan and the back to SL. If he's utter shit then a 5 year contract.

    He doesn't do any other kind of goalkeeping.

    The Traditional goals and skills video, not bad but i don't think Wikipedia even says he's scored this many goals.

    He's better tha Church
    He's better than Church

    Not just me that thought he looked a bit like Yann then (but quicker, couldn't imagine Yann scoring some of those goals). Hopefully, assuming it'll be confirmed, he's physical like Yann. As much Ezekiel, Vaz Te, Bahebeck etc could be exciting signings, we have have plenty of pacey striker/winger types we need at least one targetman in the squad.

    Agreed, he looks like a Yann with pace.

    Another player who will make us better on Football Manager.

    Obviously not seen him play but he fits the profile of the target man we need and if he can get 10 goals himself and Reza/Vetoleke get a few more would be a good signing.

    More importantly, What's his FIFA 14 rating? ;-)

    So many players with no English league experience though.... exciting but risky. Can't help remembering last season where it was pretty much the domestic players that got us out of trouble.

    EDIT: Sorry. I see now that No.1 in South London has already posted this.


    This is what Ketts is saying onthe Dr Kish site:

    Standard Liege's Romanian striker, George Tucudean, travelled to England on Saturday evening to complete his switch to Charlton.

    23-year-old Tucadean will fly out to Spain with his new teammates for their training camp in Spain on Sunday.

    He started his career with his hometown team, UTA Arad, where he netted 13 goals in 41 appearances before being transferred to Dinamo Bucharest. Tucudean scored 10 goals in 51 games during his stay in the capital, plus 9 goals in 12 games when loaned back to Arad , which attracted the attention of Standard Liege.

    He signed for the Belgian outfit at the end of the transfer window in January of last year but failed to score in 11 appearances for his new side. Tucudean spent the 2013/14 on loan with former club Dinamo Bucharest and he made 22 appearances, scoring 7 goals.

    He has represented his country at all levels up to Under-21.

    At 6'1", Tucudean will be an aerial threat and could be suited to the more physical nature of the Championship.

    That was worth watching just for the move at the end.

    I like this because I have a Romanian friend. So I can say 'my Romanian friend said..'. I'll ask him now.
