Charlie Kelman

Post by Snowflake »

Watching the game yesterday. I really admire Kelman. So many strikers are very selfish in front of goal and want to grab the glory.
Yesterday he twice passed to another player who was in a better position than him to score. How many strikers do you know do that in modern football.
Very lucky to have someone like him. I hope we can manage to sign him.

Especially as he was going for the golden boot.

Considering he’s not even our player he does have an amazing attitude for the team rather than himself

This in a nutshell is why I was so pleased when he came back this season, a real team player willing to run himself into the ground for the greater good. Deserves every bit of that golden boot.

The difference between having Kelman upfront vs. Ruel this season is night and day. The latter would've been greedy and tried to run straight through the middle of the two defenders and lost the ball.

Kelman has been an absolute star, it’s good he’s been able to help us and we’ve given his career a big boost.
Love to see him in the Championship with us next season 🤞

I don’t think a single person questioned his work rate or being a team player. That was universally accepted.

Taken from fb:

The estimable Barri Twinn of The O's Zone confirms that Charlie Kelman is now joint fourth in Orient history for most goals in a season - with (possibly) two games to go...

Tommy Johnston 36 1957/58

Ron Heckman 29 1955/56

Peter Kitchen 29 1977/78

Tommy Johnston 27 1956/57

Be good if he could get more than Tommy Johson and Peter Kitchen just to shut all the old f*ckers up.

How much is Charlie now worth in the transfer market . If Stansfield cost £10million , Charlie must be worth more . He’s got to be worth more than that. It will be heartbreaking to see him leave after these couple of games but he richly deserves another crack at the Championship. Hopefully QPR will now keep starting with him next season.

Based on what?

Stansfield is younger than Charlie and has scored a decent amount in his only spell in the championship. Charlie is yet to score above league one

I like the fact that transfer fees are apparently solely calculated based on number of goals scored, and no other metrics.

Didn't QPR rate him in the millions before this season, so wouldn't be surprised if they put 5mill plus on him.

Fair play to QPR for keeping hold of him. Like Richie, they obviously knew there was a player in there, just needed time to develop.
