Charlton Athletic are delighted to announce the loan signing of James Bree from Southampton.
The 27-year-old defender, who joins on a deal until January, made 17 Premier League appearances for the Saints last season and brings a wealth of Championship experience to the Addicks’ ranks.
Manager Nathan Jones is thrilled to make Bree his 10th summer signing. He said: "I’m really pleased we’ve been able to bring in James. It’s a position we’ve been trying to fill for a long time. I signed him at Luton and he did wonderfully, and I bought him at Southampton to play in the Premier League. He’s someone I have real faith in.
"It’s a real coup to get a player of his quality, athleticism and pedigree. The signing of James finishes off a wonderful window where we have added real quality to the squad."
Bree added: "I’m absolutely delighted to get it over the line. It all happened really quickly in the last couple of days once I spoke to the gaffer. I’ve obviously worked with him before and he really got the best out of me. I’m looking forward to playing in front of all of the fans."
Might be getting Fukuda in January, or we might be worried about his fitness, and dont want to commit until January - Either that or Southampton might want him back in January, and sell him with a few months left on his deal for a pittance.
I wonder if it’s so late because he was the championship player who was having an issue with hair transplants? That’s definitely more than he had when he signed for Southampton.

Well done again Friedman, Brener and Co. 👏 The money you have spent on players this summer hasn’t been seen for many years . You have certainly done more than your bit to give the Championship a real crack.
That’s an excellent signing for a lot of reasons January loan so we have to pay something to get him permanently or another club coughs up after he’s played a blinder for us. Whatever way, he improves us. COYRs

Then sign Fukada.
He's been injured pre-season and not kicked a ball yet.
He fails the CL height test
Whelmed, as AFKA famously once said
Or as ......Golfie said, Fukada?
Qui sais?
