JCH

I was struggling to remember what Robbie Turner looked like, so I did an image search on Google.

The results weren't at all what I expected!!!

I know it's only Twitter talk, but Charlton fans seem to think they are signing JCH

Before the pandemic the big screen video used to play Edom by Avicii before the games started. At the time I took a bit of a liking to the song and as we were playing bloody well when we had that big screen video on I downloaded it and started to associate it with the gas.

Earlier when the excitement started building I whacked the song on whilst painting my kitchen diner.

Then later I was taking care of some other jobs and whacked on shuffled songs. The song came on again… it’s a sign! He’s coming home guys 😁

He’s got unfinished business to take care of 😁

Am I right in thinking JCH would be able to buy himself out of his contract at the end of this month, as per the 'Webster Ruling'?

The Webster ruling is a test case in association football law involving Andy Webster, a defender formerly with Heart of Midlothian football club in Edinburgh, Scotland. In September 2006 he became the first player to exploit the updated transfer regulations of FIFA, football's governing body, which stipulated that players are able to unilaterally walk away from a contract after a fixed period, regardless of the duration of the contract itself.

Hearts had initially placed a valuation of £5 million on Webster. However, because he had served more than three years of his contract he was outside of FIFA's "protected period", and any compensation due to Hearts would, per Article 17, be based primarily on the amount of Webster's salary still outstanding—a figure estimated by Webster's advisors at approximately £250,000.

Seems more likely than us signing him.

Remember when Peterborough bough him , said he was unfit . Still looks the same and can be lazy when things not going his way. Surely theirs a better solution than JCH . Sheffield Wednesday play offs he went missing.

If it’s a goal scorer we are after then it will be quite easy to see if there are better solutions than JCH - just look at a list of who’s scored the most goals at this level in recent years. 

Am I the only one who thinks that whilst he is a great player and a natural goal scorer at this level, I don’t think he’s the right fit for how we now play and if we did sign him then we’d need to change our style of play to be round him? I look at the work rate and unselfish play that big John gets through and our high press and just don’t see JCH fitting into that… he’s a more traditional number 9 imo where you play the ball to him and where he’s positioned and I just don’t see him doing the athletic aggressive closing down and pressing and dirty work like Marquis (and to be fair Loft when he comes on) does….

Great player but for me not what we need in our style of play now….

Brown, Collins, marquis and sinclair are all capable of 20 goals a season. Personally not sure we need JCH? Having said that if he did play for us he'd have 5 goals by now with all the chances we create!
