stokes joins charlton according to sky sports. (1 Viewer)

will he succeed or flop? difficult to say at this time.

I think he'll succeed in the same way Darren Bent has been succeeding - quality goalscorer standing out among his inept team mates. Personally I would have liked to have seen him stay at Falkirk for the rest of the season, he's only 18. But I suppose now he'll be getting regular premiership football which will be a good thing. I saw him at the B game and he looked like the kind of striker who'll score against any team. He's got the strength, speed, arrogance, positioning. If Charlton sell Bent for €20m or whatever monstrous price they want for him and get some decent players in they might even have a chance of staying up. Doubtful though.

Check out this lad now:

He declared for Ireland apparantley, he's only 16 and Barcelona want him. Bit sexier than fucking Charlton....

Whichever, he'll be doing it in the Championship next season. Charlton are fucked.

"We'll always get good players," he told Sky Sports News.
"We'll give them a chance of European football, championships, winning cups and playing in front of 60,000 supporters.
"You're talking about playing for one of the best clubs in the world. If you don't want that - fine."

European football? Has he seen the league table recently?

oh happy days for me if he does.

 

[Unicron]

oh happy days for me if he does.

If they buy him they'll be buying him as they want a Fenian to sacrifice to Barry Ferguson.

 

[nlgbbbblth]

oh happy days for me if he does.

fuck the pope.

 

[It Will Never Last]

Prods are great. They all love the Slash you know.

 

[Franco]

He should do a Figo and sign for a couple of clubs.

Think those are Gordon Strachan's quotes, not Stokes.

 

[Chad]

looks like sunderland for 2.2m

he's a great prospect, you can bet wenger has a buy-back clause on that contract...

It does appear so. Makes a touch more sense that way than how I misread it.

 

[Hector Grey]

[kevin gallen]

So how many irish players at sundireland now, i make it

murphy
elliott
stokes
clarke
delap

crap move for stokes, would have liked to see him go to a lower level premier club (not charlton) rather than sunderland.

i wouldn't be opposed to this idea of an Irish side in the lower leagues at all, except that it's a graveyard for outstandingly mediocre journeymen so far. not a great influence on stokes, elliot and the like.
