    FFS all these players we have brought in and who have done sod all for us in two years and our most high profile acquisition is going to be a doctor.

    Put her on the sofa and sell the team. It'll be more enjoyable viewing.

    Could be a good signing judging by the amount of injuries we have at the moment
  • She's gonna be a new signing for our cheerleaders

    Gabriella Benson as head coach and the female doctor to replace the physio.

    Given our shocking record with injuries it might not be such a bad thing.

    Sad truth though - I'd be fearful of some of the comments from our lumpyheaded fans when she runs onto the pitch for the first time

    ^ oh come on, really? We are a football team in South London with a catchment that includes some pretty 'gritty' areas, but we are not Millwall.

    Sure, there are always one or two nobs (just like EVERY club) but some of the comments on this board digging out our fans every time there is any news storey (or even non storey) is a bit far fetched.

    I think the last thing I would be worried about is the comments of a few bovril swilling Charlton fans when a new physio arrived.

    She has just come from Chelsea, I am pretty sure she would cope with Charlton fans.

    Wish I was as morally ethical as you Swisdom.......
  • We're gonna have even more injuries now, few groin strains here and there.. a few prolonged injuries needing extra assistance....
  • But nah in all seriousness, it would be nice to see some real quality grace the Valley turf for once..

    I'd welcome her to the club, our current physio's and medical staff seem to take an age to get players back to fitness.

  • In all seriousness, we have had too many players with relatively minor injuries that never seem to heal, or players who say they are unfit when the club disagrees. If I was RD I'd be questioning the medical team, the Igor situation for example is a shambles

    But could it be the staff? Or is our injury prevention and recuperation facilities under-invested?

    The top clubs have all have new technology which will ensure Hazard & co, are back within a couple of weeks. Might just be that we don't have the luxury of expensive advances.

    Finally. A marquee signing!
  • It's not going to happen, is it?
    If you were working with the champions of England, would you really want to schlupp it out with Londons finest in the championship?

    Yeah. What are we thinking!
    Surely there's a cheaper Munter available in the Belgian 5th division.

    Do tend to agree with you, but we do not know what is on offer do we?
    Perhaps RD and KM are discussing the role across the network, and the plans at Sparrows lane will be a large part of that,
    The plans at Sparrows Lane have some excellent physio and sports science opportunities,
    Perhaps the good doctor may relish being part of building a new Cat 1 academy and build a team of her choice?
    We keep on haring how rich RD is, and working with a female CEO may have great appeal.
    Especially when you have worked at a place like Chelsea, and all the Ego driven prima donna's there?
    Just a thought?....... still do not think she will come though?

    There's no harm in saying she's an attractive lady etc but the treatment of the cheerleaders at Crystal Palace was embarrassing. I thought "get your tits out for the lads" finished in the 80's

    So one of the most qualified sports doctors is available to hire, it would be a failing of the club to not ask if she would be interested in a job leading the medical team.
  • I'm sure this will end up like most of the rumours she will not actually arrive at the valley. As for the injuries I think some of that is due to having a number of players from the continent that are just not use to the physical aspects of the English game. However I have feeling that some and in particular one just doesn't want to be there or play.

    It did. About the same time that cheerleaders at English football matches ended!

    The thread is obviously getting more interesting than ever. I'd be very glad if she signs with us - golden opportunity for me to brag about something after such a long dreadful run and I can't let it slip away. I've already shared this news on Weibo (China's equivalent of Twitter) using the unofficial Charlton Athletic account I created so this HAS to happen, lol. (I did use the 'rumour' tag though in case the deal falls through.)

    So, is yours the only unofficial Charlton page on Weibo and how many followers do you have? Great stuff and keep passing on the good word. We may be in a poor run of form but the bad periods make the good ones that much sweeter for those who persevere.

    It would be interesting to know what qualifications are available in this field, what ones Dr Carneiro has and what ones our current medical staff have. From what we've seen lately I'd imagine that we currently have something like this:

    ● Basic first aid certificate from St Johns Ambulance (Failed; applied for re-sit)
    ● Bachelors degree in aggravating sports injuries school of Tropical Medicine and Personal Torture
    ● 'Making it up as you go along' a Masters level course in imagination, inference and guesswork; Universiteit Hasselt
    ● Doctorate in asset devaluation, personally tutored by Professor Two Chalets
    ● 'Keeping your loved ones out of harms way' correspondence course written and directed by Josef Fritzl
    ● Post graduate diploma in bone manipulation from the John Colby School of Musculoskeletal Management

    It is indeed the only one. I set it up 10 months ago and it currently has about 500 followers but the number is growing every week. It's already got more followers than the likes of Cardiff City, Birmingham, Bolton and Burnley. Clubs like Reading don't even have any accounts. I try to be as positive and professional as I can and hopefully I'll be able to maintain the account for years to come.
    Good stuff Jessie, keep up the good work.

    well the Doctor we have sitting on the bench each game is getting on in years and so maybe he wants to step down and if Ms Caniero (sp?) is available then we'd be stupid to not at least discuss it with her.
