Young Dane in, Fortune back to Stoke
A not so quiet day for the Addicks. There I was thinking the transfer window was closed and we go and blow 250,000 sovs on a 19-year old called Martin Christensen, who is according to reports a winger.
Christensen played in the Danish 1st Division (there is a Superliga above) for
Herfølge Boldklub, who actually won the Superliga as recent as 2000. There is a big bit about us on their website, which I assume talks about our
"three-year collaboration agreement" too and has a quote from new scout Paul Haverson. Anyone speak Danish?
According to
BBC Sport article Herfølge BK
"have established a fine reputation for youth products." Maybe he will have more impact than Kelly Youga, Jani Tanska and Rurik Gislason.
Nothing on Charlton's but according to
Stoke City's website Jonathan Fortune, who is described
"as a rock at the heart of the City defence," has returned to the club after being recalled by Pards before the Watford game. This, I would hope, is a sign that Magic, Thatcher and HH are each going to be fit for the Newcastle game?
Meanwhile Jorge Costa - who hated Millwall by the way - took charge of SC Braga in
tonight's UEFA Cup game at Tottenham. I love old Jorge but I think I would rather have Spurs worrying about a big cup final than us when they show up at The Valley on May 5th.
