+++ Charlton complete Thomas Kaminski signing +++

Takes away a place & salary from where it's really needed.....so can I be the first one to boo.

😄

Because I don't follow football closely outside of Charlton, I can't say he's one that's crossed my radar until he got linked in the last week(ish). On paper, his experience certainly seems a step up in class compared to other goalkeeper signings we have made in the last 10 years. On that basis, it's an encouraging signing- not least because it hints again that we are taking staying up seriously and willing to spend realistic amounts to get decent Championship standard players. Slight question mark over him being heavily involved in 2 successive relegations so maybe a bit of confidence to rebuild (Jones should be good with that). As always, all that matters is what he does here.

Welcome Thomas, I look forward to seeing what you can do in a Charlton shirt.

We need at least 6 proven championship quality signings throughout the team. This is the first.  Good start.  Mannion as backup and we wish AMB well on whatever is next for him. 

Sonny Carey with 48-Championship appearances to his name...

This is a quality signing. Have seen a bit of him for Luton but he was POTY for Blackburn, played more games than any other player that season (43) and in 32 of those he let in one or less goals.

I don't know how much I'd worry about the successive relegations, I think that's very much a symptom of the overall team more than the keeper. He's obviously been exposed much like Carson, Phillips and often Kiely were for us. That goes to show that a good keeper won't keep you in the league but with a good defence in front of him this time it will certainly help. It's also interesting that he got 11 clean sheets last season, which put him 12th overall in the league despite Luton finishing 22nd. It all gives the impression that he wasn't the problem last season, and given Luton were the second lowest goalscorers in the league last season by 1 goal that seems to tally up. Good players get relegated all the time and he looks like given he didn't look out of place in the Premier League he seems like a really good signing

Never seen him play, hopefully as good as all the reports.

Interesting take from a Luton fan on their message board...

Anyone who leaves Luton for a pisspot champ clubPosted by Fake Jindlay on 1/7/2025, 15:13:28like Derby or Charlton, is basically saying “I am better than this league one shitshow”.Well the facts indicate otherwise. Off you fuck.

They really are a bitter lot...🤦‍♂️

They’ve crashed and burned very quickly much like we did really.  Bitter pill to swallow.

 Clean sheet means a point at least.

Given we are very unlikely to be able to bring in players either in midfield or up front who are exceptionally effective, our ability to keep clean sheets with an exceptional defence will be the thing that keeps us up.

Welcome to the league one shitshow. I expect you will be enjoying it for a few years.

People from Luton always seem really really angry.

Probably the prospect of having to live in Luton does that to you 

I'm expecting a lot more shots on target next season so a keeper who is good at keeping them out seems an excellent choice

... shows that Nathan appreciates that the keeper is THE most important position in the team

Not necessarily. Wait until we unveil our new 1.8 million pound RB/RWB/MF from Orient.

Really happy with this signing. Luton fans seem livid we only supposedly paid 1 mil for him. 

I don't see why. He was supposedly going to Turkey for free.
