Charlton have just signed Camara.

Great player but played once last season due to injury. Not too fussed that we missed out.

If we had signed him there would be people questioning if we had learnt anything from last season!

Not sure about this as seen nothing else about Davies

I'll bite.

A season-long loan (less risk) for a 26 year old who had one injury in one season (and couldn't then get back into the promotion winning side) but has otherwise played regularly year-on-year and been among the best in the division, is not the same as offering a multi-year permanent contract to a player in the twilight of their career with a serious long-term fitness/injury record with little or no evidence to suggest they will offer value at this level.

But you knew that.

Someone I know used to be in a band who practiced at the cold rooms in Cumnor, down the lane towards where the pick your own strawberry fields were. They used to steal strawberries and then dip them in speed when they rehearsed. Quite a nice way of gentrifying the drug, I felt.

Thats certainly more refined than some methods I've heard about, best left in the Coven 1995

Canara not a good signing?! Come on! He is exactly what we need and have needed for 3 seasons.

Unless he’d come here, of course.

I don’t think there’s many who’d disagree that Camara would have been a very good signing, that’s assuming he is totally fit and capable of playing at 100%, and not within himself, which is something we don’t know.

I think we need a player exactly like him, a combatitive midfielder with some real presence and some skill on the ball to go with it.

I don’t like the idea of us giving Gorrin a cheap contract and hoping he’ll be the answer as he was never fit last season and looked a shadow of his previous self even before the next unfortunate serious injury.

We do need another quality central midfielder. An injury to CB, JM or MM and we are very light once more

I thought we needed a holding midfielder? Camara wouldn't have suited the deep role in KR's 4-3-3 anymore than Kane or McGuane.

Jay Matete would be perfect & probably more mobile than camara as well.

 

[West Oxon U’s]

Charlton sign Ipswich midfielder Panutche Camara on loan to add to their other Summer signings Alfie May, Harry Isted and Lloyd Jones.

Looking at the line-up, could have been Watkins again, plus possibly a left back?

A stretch to refer to two as multiple. Neither of them mentioned in the report of the goals.

Looks like a left back and striker trialist. And Yanic seems slimmer

Could be Edun, we let seddon trial with Burton before he moved there on loan so I suppose it’s possible we are taking a look at Edun.

On another note, early days but encouraging performances from Murphy,

 

[Jaboysmith]

A lad from pompey and an ex-Liverpool are both at the club

 

[Jakehodgson51]

Edun trialed today maybe left back trialist in Barnet game
