Very true, I'd always go for the player that's just had League 1 experience though. Either way, I'm just pleased Garner is bringing in players he clearly wants and who will suit his style.JamesSeed said:
Fair enough. But football’s a funny old game and either or both of the could have great seasons. Or the opposite.cafcfan1990 said:
Not sure about that, he's gone from England youth international to League 2. I don't think it had anything to do with Swindon's scouts, would imagine he made the move purely because he knew Garner from Palace. He's played 36 first team games in 3 years. I'm excited to see him and he definitely remains with potential, but Kesler is only 19 and played roughly the same amount of games last season as Egbo has over the last 3, the second half of which was in a top League 1 side. He also wouldn't have counted towards the squad cap.JamesSeed said:
He only joined Swindon in March. Played nine games, six of which were the final six games of the season, five of which they won. He got three assists in those three games. I think the other three matches were the playoffs? Or did they include the playoffs?cafcfan1990 said:
I have to admit I would have preferred the other Swindon right-back from last season who went onto MK. Egbo hasn't progressed as expected and although he ended the season well, a dozen or so games isn't much to go on.Cafc43v3r said:Speaking to someone that has been aware of him for at least a decade.
Massive potential, talent alone he would be playing in the Premier League. Probably can cruise top half league 1/bottom half championship.
Sounds to me a bit like old Yassin, also sounds to me Garner is the man that can squeeze it, or at least enough of it, out of him.
Of course I'm not writing him off and Garner clearly rates him so that's good enough for me.‘Hasn’t progressed as expected’ I guess refers to the fact that he started at Palace but had to step down to Swindon via Germany and the MLS? Not sure that’s reputation ruining, but shows Swindon had decent scouts maybe?
My money’s on him turning out to be better than the one who went to MK. or perhaps they’re both verby good. Can happen.
I don't want it to sound negative because that's really not the case. I was just comparing the two and all things considered I really wanted Kesler. Of course it's possible it was never going to happen and I'm sure Egbo will go on and have a solid season.0 -

Back in my Dad's day, people didn't joke. They went to war and sucked it up and just got on with life.Scoham said:
He was having a laugh with a player he’s likely friends with from their time playing for the England youth teams. The emojis give that away… no two ways about it.addick1956 said:
Why say it or worse print it if you don't mean it....this saying it and then apologising after I don't buy. It is synical to say the least.swordfish said:
Neither do I, but that's a generation thing as social media wasn't about when I was in my teens. However, I would have said and done things then that I later regretted when I matured, but luckily for me, they weren't plastered all over SM.addick1956 said:

I can't pretend to understand the thinking of the youth of today as I'm nearly an old age pensioner you know, but I do realize they will make mistakes, as did I.
That sentence was what he thought...no two ways about it.
No time for friends either. Just go it alone.
Take on all the Nazi's solo, that's how they did it.

Another example of our fragile fanbase.
I am of a very similar age to Egbo and can happily admit I have said and done things I didn’t mean when I was a teenager. But when it’s quite clearly said in jest towards Grant, 8 years ago! - why is this even a topic of discussion?
It’s like me saying “my mate X (insert name) is a great guy, one of the nicest people you can meet but no one’s perfect, he’s a Y (insert club) supporter!”
Why are people getting so protective and sensitive over this? It’s odd.16 -
Anyway, welcome Egbo.
Got a positive feeling about this signing.2 -
If anyone says they have never said or done anything they didn’t mean, well.. that’s the Mandela Effect

Yes, on this occasion, and on here. But you can bet there are many more thinking just the same. So often other times it’s much more and across CL and social media.Scoham said:

But you just labelled our new player as not wanting to be here and that he should 'do one' for a single bit of banter when he was s teenager. Surely that's total bollocks culture too?addick1956 said:

I am sure we were not perfect then .
I haven't the faintest idea what cancel culture is and nor to I care. Why is it that if someone disagrees with another person they have to label them in some way. That is possibly a total bollocks culture if it exists.11 -

They are scathing in the least and often down right rude. I state that this bloke has openly disrespected this club but suddenly when he is in L2 or someone's reserve side in another country Charlton is the bees knees.
I suggest you are the gift that keeps giving.
Who ate you to decide what others think about a player and hen insult them if it doesn't fall in line with your views.
Where is the rationality in that ?
