Whereas Slade said to Louis Mendez "Did you see how patient we were". Slade's reply when asked about control over players was "If I don't like a player we don't sign him". I think judging by the style of play Driesen is telling the truth when he says he is still heavily involved.
I understand that Thomas Driesen has already been set to work by Meire on hunting down January's transfer targets. He has been asked to find us at least 2 new centre halves from the creme de la creme in Europe, as we only have six on the books at the moment, and another couple of defensive midfielders. His specific remit is "find me a 35 year old version of Andrew Crofts, and a duplicate Kevin Foley although I accept that these are hard to come by". Driesen politely enquired if Meire would like to sign a winger or attacking midfielder, only to be told that Slade thought he had too many already.
I think Slade's reply was " No! I have no use for either of those positions unless they can also play as a Centre Back or have a reputation of insulting the team's fans"
Driesen: "My Belgian You Tube analysis shows that you are 100% reliant on Sherlock Holmes. What happens when he gets injured?" Fat Russ: [puts down bacon sandwich..] "Don't worry about that son, Pearce is a great warrior and can play on the wing"
It just shows you where our Club is. Employing an IT geek to come up with Players he has never seen in the flesh. He has no idea about their character etc. This geek has no experience in Scouting. What Professional Football Club would do this. No wonder we are in the lower reaches of the third division. This joker Driesen reckoned Kermorgant, Stephens etc weren't good enough. It just shows you what a tit he is.
Just when you think things can't get any worse at Meire's Charlton, that weird geek has been busy winding our fans up last night. He has Tweeted a picture of his TV , watching a Champions League game, saying he is busy "scouting" What a prick.
I read that his Sparrows Lane name is Mowgli. . When you think that this stupid boy is what Muzza referred to as our Fantastic European Scouting Network it shows you what an Alice in Wonderland club we are now.
We are all grown ups who can dish it out and take it, but that is now 3 Charlton employees within a week - Keohane, Slade and Mowgli, who have openly slated our fans
If Roland wanted to destroy Charlton he couldn't have done better than appoint KM as CEO and Driesen as Head Scout. I don't know which one has done more damage. Roland's probably having a right good chuckle at Driesen's "joke".
She had principles... and you know there's seemingly no place for that at our club. Even I have practically have no moral principles. And I'm a ****ing spectator.
It is a very difficult choice to pick the right order of c**** that have come to this (used to be)football club. However, my order would have to be this:- 1 Squirrel face, as she is ruining/running the show 2 Driesen, as for his involvement with the recruiting of players 3 Fraeye, as every time I go past Beckenham Town Football Club I expect to see him taking a training session
