I won't be silly and say 'at last'. Encouragingly the board and management have been true to their word and are out of the traps early in the rebuilding of the team.
Two midfielders joining today. Danny Hollands from Bournemouth. On the face of what I've read from Cherries supporters a loyal servant of the club, who stuck by them during some awful times when he perhaps could have moved onwards and upwards. Still only 25, on paper he ticks quite a few boxes as far as your 'typical' Charlton player is concerned.
Then Bradley Pritchard joining from Hayes & Yeading. After a free scoring season in the Blue Square Premier. What's interesting about this signing is that he did spend some time with us last season, training and playing a reserve team game. It suggests that Sir Chris has been looking at who to bring in for some time.
Both really positive signings in my opinion, and showing that there is a real intent to get a diverse range of different type players in who can compete for places. It's good to see a couple more midfielders, especially if we keep Semedo, Jackson, Waggy and Racon as this will add variety to what was a pretty predictable middle line last season.
I feel it's going to be a pretty busy few weeks.
I think Racon and Semedo will be off so these two may well be replacements. Hollands looks like an impressive signing and the other is a punt that could well be a real gem
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment. I'm afraid you are probably right. It would be great to have a collection of (good) midfielder's to compete for position and have the availability to play them in their natural positions.
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing we'll be finding out next Wednesday when the transfer window re-opens.
