Fingers crossed this is money well spent, and based on our transfers I have faith in Ed and the recruitment team.

Shame he comes in injured, but presume we had to act fast to bring him in as there was interest from other teams.

Assume we will still be looking for another striker (on loan?) to bring in this month, as we still only have Harris as it stands.

Good luck to the lad and welcome to the club!

The article on the club website says he isn't even joining training till the end of the month, so seems unlikely he'll play as soon as he resumes training. I reckon we won't see him for a few games.

After Cheltenhams game against Portsmouth ( Jan 6th) Darren Clarke said they expected Goodwin to be back at the end of that week. He was indeed on the bench against Bolton last week. So the injury can’t be that serious. He has not played for two weeks, seems to me the club are playing it softly softly, I for one will not be surprised to see him available next Saturday. Anyway, with both Tyler’s banging them in, he might be a bench warmer 😂

Really pleased with this signing. Can’t remember the last time we poached a promising young player from our division for a fee. Six goals in that Cheltenham side this year is nothing to be sniffed at, and he passed the eye test and then some against us. Seems like he’s a player on the up after a slow start to life at this level, and his best days are still to come. Apart from anything, an immediate upgrade on GOD for the second half of the season and allows us to play a bit more horses for courses going forward.

Also especially nice when you win a bidding war, especially with a club as (present woes aside) attractive at this level as Charlton.
 
Seems like when he’s fit he’s a fairly prolific scorer. 6 goals from 1039 minutes of league football this season which means he averages a goal every 173 minutes. Excited to see if him and Rodrigues can form some sort of partnership.
 
We've signed a real prospect on a contract that is a minimum of 2 1/2 years plus a further year option, and we've got people stressing that he might miss a couple of games this month!

I'm glad that our backroom team are looking to get players fit to make an impact for the rest of the season rather than rushing them into games then losing them for months.

No one’s ‘stressing’ about Goodwin missing a few games, but if Harris gets injured and no one else chips in with the goals, where are they coming from? Hardly stressing is it, it’s bleeding obvious we still need another striker, now. Let’s hope Harris keeps banging them in and stays fit.
