    Believe to be George Tucudean and I reckon it will be announced tomorrow.

    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.

    Whatever happens, we'll definitely be good entertainment on TV this season, if only to hear the commentators grappling with our squad.

    "Bikey-Amougou... forward to Ghoochanejhad. Ghoochanejhad with a cross field pass to Gudmundsson. Gudmundsson crosses for Tucudean, great lay off for VETOKELEEEEEEEE GOOOOOOOOOL!!!"

    Thanks Timmsi. If only we'd known since 12.29 :-)

    BTW your site is wrong. He scored 7 last season not 20. This was discussed on here a couple of hours ago. Try and keep up :-)

    Let me be the first to say that I'm totally underwhelmed. Big Bob acknowledged after the Welling game that what we currently have is not good enough & so we bring in another player who has no experience of the English Football League. Also don't believe the 20 in 22 goalscoring record - I think you'll find that is starts & sub appearances & as reported earlier he scored just 7 in 22.

    Given the BBC just kept on grappling with the S-That-Wasn't on the end of Callum Harriott, and the fact no two commentators pronounced Reza's surname the same way, we should get some comedy gems courtesy of the licence fee this season.

    golfie, you would be underwhelmed, if you won the lottery.

    It's not so much where the players come from, but what is their ability ?

    I bet Man C & Arsenal fans aren't complaining that their incoming transfers, have no English League experience.

    PS Have you seen his video ? PPS He's better than Church, Sordell & Pigott.

    PPPS We know he only scored 7 last season.

    7 in 22 means he should hopefully get 14/15, so the same as Lord Kermogant.

    The more important factor will be how much he can provide for Ventokele, Reza, Moussa and Gudmundson.

    A bit concerned about all these players with no experience in the English leagues, hopefully the last couple of signings we get have some.

    Otherwise it could be Gomez, Buyens, Vetokele, the Iceland fella, Tucadean all in the starting line up

    Brentford lead 1-0. Never seen an OG like it.

    Watching that youtube video, two things immediately spring to mind.

    1. He's used to playing in a fake Arsenal shirt, so kit won't be a problem

    2. Looking at the size of the boot handed to him at the beginning, if he gets that behind a shot, he's gonna break some nets this season.............

    Nope, golfie would rather have those. He's underwhelmed. But I'm with you.

    George Tucudean from the Mothership - spent last season on loan to Dinamo Bucharest?

    You sure it's not George Clinton?
    I first predicted this back on the 3rd May - I also predicted Jose Semedo scoring at the Valley. Lottery numbers predicted for a small advance fee and a percentage of any winnings!

    Pete Finch will have a field day with this lot in his excitable way. :-)

    It should make for interesting listening. I hope his false teeth are ready for it.

    On the George front. What's there not to like. A big forward in the Yann mold. Laying off balls for the others. And I'm sure Bob will be able to work with him.

    I'm really looking forward to this season. Exciting times for Charlton (says he, fingers crossed).

    Well, I shall be calling him Tucs, and I hope he tucks a few away.



    I'll get my coat.

    As I posted my source still will not reveal a name as I said last night there has been no real concrete link..

    However he did say there WAS no real link until today so we'll find out soon,

    To me that more or less says it's George Tucudean but again .. I'm in the dark with this one

    Comparing the Romanian top tier to Championship isn't something I'd do, it is not a good standard but then Championship isnt the best in the world either . He will do very very well to bring that level over to England, but Im only going on my European knowledge. Maybe we should look into his 11 games for SL, as from snippets I've read he didnt set the world alight.

    Our target man spot is the one that may make or break our season, Big Bob needs to get this one right
