It’s much nicer than ours.

Having often watched Tony Watt at Charlton, I would be concerned if we signed him. He was overweight throughout his time there and it’s fair to say that his work rate consistently fell well short of the required standard. Charlton fans are very much like Motherwell ones, they live in the shadow of giants and will forgive a lack of talent for sheer endeavour. Watt had the talent. However, he frustrated them immensely as he seemed to be able to turn it on or off and through lack of endeavour, he was mostly off. This, compounded by the rumours that he was a right big time Charlie in and around the dressing room making it no secret that he thought he was above playing in League 1, made it easy for them to say goodbye. He is capable of playing at Championship level but his record says otherwise. If he came to us, we’d be taking a punt and it’d be last chance saloon for him.

Roberto Martinez managing Swansea to league 1 champions, Wigan to a FA cup win and a Belgian World Cup semi final .... work in progress

Grabban and Jutkiewicz are much bigger and stronger than Moult. The Championship loves a big strong centre forward. I hope to god I’m wrong but I fear Louis may be one of those prolific League 1 strikers but not quite got that extra bit to be a regular championship 10+ a season striker. If he does go on loan from PNE, I hope he comes to Charlton as he’s exactly what Lee Bowyer needs in a striker.

This popped up on my FB the other day. We are the man with eggs; The old man is an egg seller, selling eggs to make ends meet. A lady approached him after not been able to sell not even single egg for the day. She asked him, ‘How much are you selling the eggs for?’ The old seller replied, ‘£1 per 10 egg, Madam.’ She said to him, ‘I will take 15 eggs for £1 or I will leave. The old seller replied, ‘Come take them at the price you want. May be, this is a good beginning because I have not been able to sell even a single egg today.’ She took the eggs and walked away feeling she has won. She got into her fancy car and went to a posh restaurant with her friend. There, she and her friend, ordered whatever they liked. They ate a little and left a lot of what they ordered. Then she went to pay the bill. The bill costed her £140. She gave £150 and asked the owner of the restaurant to keep the change. This incident might have seemed quite normal to the owner but, very painful to the poor egg seller.

LOL......A very positive outlook. Wes Fletcher was given the no9 because he was signed as the main striker. What he did with that shirt was down to him as indeed it will be down to Louis this season. Indeed, you only need to look to that season to see the difference between Fletcher and Moult.

To be fair, I don’t think he’s suggesting that he is.

Good to see Louis Moult being given the no9 shirt at PNE. Surely a vote of confidence and hopefully the beginning of a good season for him.

Now that is the kit we should’ve got

They are different but yeh, I think they’re maybe a variation on a theme. The home one might grow on me but the away collar is the waste of an otherwise very nice shirt

I would go with that, I only really put the names in for demonstration. Either way, even if nothing else happens with transfers, we would be well represented in this formation.

Just had a look at them on the official site and I like them even less. I really dislike the collar on the home but what’s going on with the collar on the away??? It looks like they’ve done one of those mock collars (like the old Scotland diadora number) but then decided that that wasn’t naff enough, so added a proper collar....that was too short. The result just looks wrong to me. It’s a shame because I like the stripe. The shorts on the away are bit ??? aswell.....they look like the hems hanging out. The claret striping on the home is cool but the embossed 1886 just looks tacky.

Away ok home bad the collar is ugly and I really wish we wouldn’t persevere with the ganting C&A top white shorts combo

I would laugh my tits off if Yodo’s predicted players and formation becomes a reality. The new signings are most likely replacements for those in the exit lounge. That said, with the squad we have have now, the fashionable 4231 would be interesting Carson Tait Kipre. Hartley. Taylor Sinclair Campbell Gorrin Cadden. Frear Tanner Main Took ages to space that out on the iPad and it still looks shit.......but you get the gist

You’re right, like so many before, there’s not enough for fans to know about him to get excited. I’m taking no notice of the show reels as they made Craig Clay look a prospect. That said, he’s obviously known to the management team and the squad. Hopefully, their judgment is sound. I too hope he makes an impression but only time will tell. I only hope people give him and those others who join us this summer the chance to be successful. One good thing though, given that he’s come through the ranks at Sunderland, he’ll be used to the shite weather.

So ..... you’re not happy with this signing then?

Not being pedantic, just being a curious exile....what did McEwan Fraser do to support the community ethos?

I tend to agree with LukeMFC1 but it’s never reassuring to see things like this. None the less, welcome to the club ATS. https://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/your-clubs-worst-player-ever-voted-fans?page=0%2C7

I heard he was off to Sevco

And the team that played in it. It was not our national managers finest hour

Indeed he was.....what are people’s aversion to players from the north east?

Surprised by that. I thought Kennedy was supposed to be quite fragile? Was it a permanent hip injury? Shrewsbury were a huge team last season. Everyone of them like a brick out house and played in a similar style to us. Jules was nowhere near that first team !!!

I know it’s not a popular view but I just don’t get the whole push for the constant hoop and white shorts thing. White shorts with claret and Amber were of their time and that time was a very long time ago. Indeed, such a long time ago that it was the middle of the last century. A lot has changed since then. Also, and this more down to personal taste, I really don’t like a ‘well home shirt to have a white collar. The two xara efforts with white collars and white shorts are amongst the worst kits we’ve had. The are only trumped by that template puma mashup mess of 13/14.

I can’t look at it. It keeps making my eyes go funny

And the “stating fekkin obvious” award goes to.......
