Quicker to go to Lille than Brussels from Oostende0

That's right. Metro/Tram/Ice/Thalys excluded but can get yourself to "Any" Belgian station.ForeverAddickted said:
I think if you get the Eurostar to Brussels , your ticket includes any onward travel to any train station in Belgiumkillerandflash said:
Oostende used to have ferries to Dover and Ramsgate, but not any more, so he'd have to join the queues on the French crossings...Todds_right_hook said:
I haven't googled where his new team are based. He is from Kent and the journey back on Eurostar may be quicker and easier than driving up and down the m4 from cardiff to visit family.Simonsen said:He'll still get the same big money every week and presumably thinks he will play every week (we will see).
Players don't normally give a shit about how big the ground is, as long as the pitch is ok and they can have their own creature comforts.
The Eurostar from Brussels is a long way from Oostende1 -
Ostende - not the prettiest. High risers on sand always looks bleurg to me, but some nice smaller coastal towns local.0

Haha, we are off to De Haan 1st weekend in August for a week. Got tickets for Ostend Ghent. May have to bring a Charlton scarf now1

Contract at Cardiff up at end of season. Loan to Belgium doesn't appear to have worked out too well.
Wonder where next for him. Shame, as he was a decent keeper by time he left us.8 -

There seems to be a decently long list of players who left us thinking their had brighter futures elsewhere that have not really worked out.

Superb shot stopper but could not command his area at all!4

Really rated Dills when he was here. I’m picky about keepers but would personally rate him as one of the top 3 or 4 keepers we’ve had post Premier League. Not sure why it hasn’t happened for him at Cardiff but expected him to go from strength to strength after leaving us. If he can find the form he showed for us he will be a very tidy pickup on a free for someone this summer.6

Hope he has enjoyed the money since moving on from the club he supported as a kid.0

A bit harsh. He had a better offer and we were going through a particularly train wrecky phase as a club. It wasn't an unreasonable decision.22

Spot on, just relegated back to L1 and with ESI still in charge, made perfect sense to take a Championship offer.SantaClaus said:A bit harsh. He had a better offer and we were going through a particularly train wrecky phase as a club. It wasn't an unreasonable decision.5 -
Anyone who didn’t leave us would have been showing a distinct lack of ambition .
get out of our shithouse asap I’d say
and make hay while the sun shines , your heating bill won’t be paid in 15 years time because you stayed at Charlton in their worst footballing period in their history3 -

Didn't realise he was a Charlton fan as a kid but that is very harsh. Played quite a lot of games for us. Part of a promotion winning team. Sold for £300K when we were a mess. He had more than repaid us and shown decent loyalty and patience waiting for his spot whilst we put some pretty ordinary loan keepers ahead of him to start with. Big personality, really like him. Hope he goes on to have a good career.mendonca said:Hope he has enjoyed the money since moving on from the club he supported as a kid.9 -
Dillon is now 27 so for a goalkeeper he should be hitting his peak. His next move is probably the most important of his career so far. Hope it’s a good one for him. I’m not usually one for looking at ex Charlton players to bring back but I’d take him like a shot. He can do better than us though.2

At the moment, provided we can hang onto Maynard-Brewer, we really don't need him.ShootersHillGuru said:Dillon is now 27 so for a goalkeeper he should be hitting his peak.

A shame because I liked him and would have been pleased to see him come back one day.3 -

Surprised he hasn't done better.0 -
Was disappointed when he left really thought he was going to be our number 1 for years5
-
Bide our time, in the next year or two we can get get him and karlan grant back on frees. That proves what a visionary roland was, sell cheap in the hope they under achieve and get them back Bonne style.
and yes, this is a sarcastic post and isn't serious2 -

It’s always hard for goalkeepers. Only one has the jersey and usually it’s pretty tough for the number two to make the breakthrough unless the incumbent has a disastrous run of form or more likely through injury. AMB seems like a good prospect but if Jojo hadn’t broken his finger I think it more than likely that he’d still have the shirt. Wollacott is a number one at our level and I expect him to want out this summer. Easier for Championship or PL clubs to retain two good custodians than a shitty third tier club. I’m fully expecting AMB to remain our number one until he is sold which will probably be at the end of next season. Back on track. I hope Dillon signs for a club that brings him in as number one. More than likely at our level.0

From our 2019/20 squad, of the players we actually owned, Tom Lockyer surprisingly is doing the best on the pitch at the moment, a regular in a very good Luton side2

Good shot stopper. Damn awful with the ball at feet and commanding his line.
The latter two traits being what has halted his progression up the ladder.0 -
I agree with all of this apart from the "ordinary loan keepers" Rudd and Amos have both had better carriers since leaving us than Philips has and Steer has probably made far more money.Athletico Charlton said:

Sorry to comment twice but who are the keepers that have played like Ederson with their feet for us ? Hamer was good as was Steer. Otherwise I’m struggling .mendonca said:Good shot stopper. Damn awful with the ball at feet and commanding his line.

No need to be sorry as I didn't mention other goalkeepers that have played for us. I was listing Phillip's plus/minus points.wmcf123 said:

The question was literally 'which keepers are good with their feet' ffs. Not 'which keepers are good with their feet but also like to punch rather than catch sometimes'Swisdom said:
