    If the chant doesn't end up being to the tune of Apache by the The Sugarhill Gang I will genuinely be quite annoyed.

    His song at County
    That's just disappointing, wheres the creativity .

    It took 10 seconds to come up with, Tanto, jump for it, head on it, head on it

    You could even follow it up with Ramsay ( Get on it ) or something similar and hit 2 birds with 1 stone
    Tanto Tanto fan, im going to be a Tanto fan

    For those saying that they're struggling to see any negatives with this signing, stick around...Golfie verdict incoming.
  • Another great signing and one to be optimistic about. Players like him were why not many of us fancied meeting Stockport in the playoffs.

    Some Stockport fan quotes:

    Gutted to lose him, but cannot deny he has given everything for the cause and he goes with a lot of best wishes.

    Gutted but don’t think we could stand in his way. Have loved watching him play. Good luck to him - massive part of our success and some big goals. Think he’ll go on to have a good career in the championship.

    Tanto was a joy to watch 90% of the time, loveably infuriating for the other 10%. He deserves a crack at the Championship.

    I think of all the players who have left this summer he will be the most difficult to replace. With his pace and power and the way he presses I don’t think we’ll realise how much that gives to our team until he’s gone.


    Every County fan that me and my son know are gutted to be losing him, not heard one bad word.

    - Stockport get their first hefty fee of this current player trading era, important for the wheels to keep turning.

    Haha, this is an acceptable alternative to Apache!
    We love a unique chant

    Another good solid signing after yesterday’s. Certainly feels like we’re now buying in a different price bracket than we have for many a year. Many more required to give us a chance next season but so far so good, keep up the good work Charlton.

    He’s not talking about the window, he’s talking about how the market has changed and using a term to try to identify it

    Another thing I read is that he was injured and missed pre season last year and didn't get many minutes prior to Barry going back more off the bench, so maybe his 9 isn't even as bad as it looks

    Very happy with this. 

    Out of interest, do we think he's one of the infamous 4 that were already lined up?

    Very happy with this signing and makes me even happier winning at Wembley knowing we would have lost our best players and had to start all over again.

    Well done NJ and welcome Tanto. 

    We are building a decent squad. 

    Probably need a left wing back, another midfielder and some defensive cover.

    COYR!!

    Bit of a wobble on Friday, I heard, after the signing leaked,

    Deal was agreed but not done but leak notified another club who tried to hijack the deal.

    Thankfully, Tanto was set on joining us so all's well that ends well.
    That’s interesting but you have to ask quite why “another club” were so shocked by the leak that it prompted them to try and jump in. It’s a transfer that’s been rumoured for weeks so if another club were that interested you’d have thought they would have already been in the mix.
    Probably heard the rumour, laughed it off because Charlton don't do proper signings for proper money and then thought 'oh shit, better bid quick' when it turned out we're actually doing real transfer windows now

    looks a great signing, fingers crossed he can chip in with 15+ goals ideally
    He only scored 8 goals in league one last season.
    Only 8 goals? Old @DOUCHER   won’t be happy with those stats! 😁

    I jest. I’ve not seen that much of him but sounds like just the sort of player you need in the transition from L1 to the championship. Similar to how Tom Bradshaw was for us. Doesnt pop up with a lot of goals but continually pressing, harrying and harrasing the back line. Proper grafter. Creates chances for other players. Good luck to the lad. Got a good head on his shoulders and a local lad to boot. 

    Oh, and the £700k will come in handy thank you very much 😉

    Thankfully, Tanto wanted an extra week off so was set on joining us so all's well that ends well.

    I'll be honest if we start singing this, I'm leaving the game early.
