I would respectfully disagree with that, we have players who can play up front but no quality and if anyone thinks Kelman will have an impact are sadly mistaken imo

Dan Agyei, no quality ?

Yes I’ll give you that one but there’s nobody else that carries a goal threat imo

Of course Richie has got faith in James otherwise the club wouldn't have re-signed him . As for Sean Clare he seems to have split opinions at his previous club . Then again Ruel Sotiriou split opinions at our club but I still wanted to see him stay . My point is let's wait and see how he play's for us .I think he's been brought in to play at left back and presumably the club has been looking at him for a while considering we paid a fee for him .

Played 38 times last season. Hackney boy probably doesn't like Wigan

Totally disagree.

Wellens wants TJ in the starting team.

Same old negative crew come dashing out to post about their mates who just happen to support the clubs he just came from, who on several occasions have said the same thing with him in your team you’ll get relegated, is hilarious none have seen him play but he’s on the scrap heap already . We could sign Mbappe and the same little crew will be out with “ my mate who happens to support PSG says you’ll be relegated if you play him” I’d rather trust Wellens judgement any day over the numpties on here.

Why did he give him a contract then?

So he can't be as bad as some of the Wigan fans are making him out to be . Also being Hackney born he probably jumped at the chance to come back home . I have a feeling he's going to be a good signing .

Might be an ok squad player

Given he was playing in the pub league for Hearts who we recently outclassed I’m not sure if he’s a league one standard full timer

I don’t recall the lad but sounds alright to me. Look forward to seeing what he’s about.

Note we’ve signed him without a trial period.

Christ. You're getting relegated. If he plays right back, every left back and left winger will skin him. He's pony bless him. At Old Trafford every player did a job, and he was the only one who let us down. He was a makeshift CM shifted to RB, but was a striker at Hearts. He's a horrible watch. Good luck.

So I'm positively optimistic now.

If you start to read this board Sean you will gather, almost immediately, that O's fans have every confidence in new signings and give them every chance to settle in to their new home......Welcome to Brisbane road, Sean.

I'm actually more optimistic than you think about Clare. I don't think it's a bad signing, but I do find it interesting that there's a lot of people saying similar things.

Then again, what a lot of us were saying about Kyprianou - sometimes the best judges of players aren't those shouting in the stands.

To play up top this is all we have

Agyei - strong, quick, scores goals, injury risk
Kelman - runs a lot, no physical presence
Perkins - a youth with no L1 experience

DJ - one of 3 fit wide players so if he has to go upfront we have no depth for wide players

It's very very obvious we need to replace Drinan and Pigott. Badly need someone in similar mould to Agyei so he doesn't have to play every minute of every game. Currently if he breaks down that's the end of any goal threat.

As for Clare hope he does go to RB and James currently to LB (pending another signing there) as Sweeney as first choice does not bode well.

So , according to this Charlton supporter both DJ and Clare are both crap . Ok, I'll judge that for myself after I've seen them both play a few times .

My Hearts supporting chum saw virtually all of his games for the Jam Tarts. He personally, thought he was decent, but others were more critical of the "unpredictable" nature of his play. Gives 100% though and never hides

While that's a valid point let's hope that's not the case with Sean Clare .

Yeah, he's so crap he played 38 times for Wigan last season in a team that would have finished above us if it wasn't for their points deduction . I'll judge him for myself when I see him play . After a few games if I think he's good or crap I'll say so .

Whilst that is indeed true, I'm not aware that Clare has any family in Wigan's higher echelons...

Did he think Charlton would be top 6 last season like all the other Addicks fans?

You really are ignorant

I trust and have faith in RW rather than take the words from Charlton supporters.
As always some fans are never and will never be happy and love to moan about signings.
