haggis_farewell Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 Good call. At least we have a manager who has realised that we need a defence! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjak Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 One month loan signing - Osei Sankofa from Charlton. He's a defender apparently...No messing about as far as GJ is concerned, straight to the premiership for a 20 year old England youth international, Norwich were apparentley interested in signing him around transfer deadline, but he said he wanted to wait for a call from Doctor Johnson!

Bristol Boy Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 As I posted recently I have my concerns about Heywood being another Sean Dyche and this would appear to bear that out.Russell was meant to be out for 2-4 weeks and it's been all season so I reckon at least 6 weeks with Heywood as there's no sign of Russell playing at the moment.

Robbored Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 Lets hope he has some pace.Thats the main thing missing from the City defence plus a goalkeeper who doesn't dominate the 18 yard box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Boy Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 Not very big!6' Tall & 12stone.Hope we play a three with Partridge, Him & Keogh.Partridge will have his work cut out looking after two really inexperienced kids with about THREE League games between them.Both are internationals but that doesn't count for much in all honesty.

RedM Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 That's bad news. He has had a real in and out start to the season and has been unlucky with injuries and illness, but always gets his place again. shows how important he is to us already. He also seemed instramental in helping Orr look so settled in defence against Brentford.I gather from other threads that we have signed a defender on loan from Charlton, with the above mentioned Orr and Parrtridge (improving) and Keogh and the others we have tried, JSmith, Fortune (!) etc we still look so new and unsettled at the back.

mossey Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 http://www.charlton-athletic.co.uk/playerd...eason=2004/2005opinionsdon't think he's tall enough and could do with more weight for our division Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cider head Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 info on him herehttp://www.4thegame.com/club/charlton-athl...seisankofa.htmlSquad Number: 28 Position: Defence Place of Birth: Streatham, England Date Of Birth: 19/ 03/ 1985 Height: 6'0 Weight: 12st 4lbs Osei Sankofa has been on the books at the Valley since he was fourteen. A tall, quick central defender - Alan Curbishley has high hopes for him and he was included in the squad to play champions Arsenal in April 2003. He made his debut at Old Trafford in May 2003 - replacing Radostin Kishishev in the 73rd minute. He failed to make any appearances the first team during both the 2003/04 and 2004/05 seasons, and will certainly look to break through during the coming campaign.

RedM Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 We definitely need cover for him if he turns out to be a sicknote - which seems to be the case at the moment.At least Partridge seems to be coming into form, but it puts a dampener on things. Not sure about Keogh at this time either.GJ appears to have drafted in a kid from Charlton, but I'd guess that's for insurance rather than chuck him into tonight or saturdays games. He's yet to play a league game I think.Hopefully Heywood recovers quickly...Looks like he will be playing tonight. GJ has been watching him for a while, just about to take him to Yeovil. Gary says Keogh is enthuastic, but needs more time working with him, not quite ready. Fortune hasn't played enough games.http://www.bcfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/News/...~719057,00.htmlhttp://www.bcfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/News/...~719428,00.htmlIt will take Heywood 3 weeks to recover from surgery.

Simez Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 It's interesting that on the main site GJ states that Clayton hasn't played enough games, I should think by now that he's played in more than enough games to determine whether he's good enough or not, clearly he isn't good enough or he wouldn't be drafting in a 20 year old prem reserve player. Richard Keogh is also not quite ready yet but GJ says he does have good enthusiasm, I'm glad about Keogh I've liked the look of him from what I've seen. Credit to Johnson for moving so quickly to get Osei. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordofthebling Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 Being a Charlton local, Ive seen him play a few times. Very very quick and has one of the biggest jumps around.Not very big though physically, so I'm unsure how he would come up against a player like Brooker.Very clever footballer, with a good touch - definite class. Very highly rated by the Charlton fans in work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
