Hi Guys CAFC fan in peace. Just wondered what you Black Cats think of him, have we got ourselves a decent player? http://www.francefootball.fr/news/El-hadji-ba-arrive-a-charlton/570122
No idea where this has come from - first I (and I guess most on here) have heard of it. We never really saw him play tbh mate. Was in the U21s for half a season then shipped out loan I believe. Err.... I think he scored in a preseason game once? Glad to be of help
The lad had very limited opportunities here tbh although many, myself included from the brief glimpses we did get, would have liked to see him afforded a run in the team. He played in a couple of cup games I saw and reserve team games. The only reason I could give for him not getting that chance was he didn't look physically strong to tackle EPL midfielder at the time but maybe he's beefed up a bit and feels ready to start lower and work back up in England. Good luck to the lad if he has signed. I wish him nothing but goodwill personally.
Scored in the cup against Carlisle. I saw him in person vs Hartlepool in a pre-season game and he was what you would expect of someone his age; does something really well and then 5 seconds later completely miscontrolled a simple ball. He was tall and gangley if my memory serves me correctly and had a tendancy to go in for the slide tackle when it wasnt really needed (probably saw how our fans react to the likes of catts winning hard tackles and wanting to make an impression). Some grooming and a good run in the side could be a good player in the championship but dury was still definately out on him when i saw him.
There's a player in there somewhere, best he played for us was a 20 minute cameo in the fa cup came on and scored showed some lovely touches, looked ok in pre-season as well. Very mobile but a bit gangly could do with filling out a bit.
Never seen much of him fella, but he did come with a high expectations and we chased him for years. Without doubt fell victim to the management merry-go-round despite some impressive pre-season performances. Broke his leg last year btw.
He's just signed for Charlton. http://www.cafc.co.uk/news/article/...er-league-championship-transfers-2493345.aspx
Any clue on the fee? btw your home shirt looks sexier every time i see it. It's a football kit masterpiece.
Our kit supplier is Nike and we are Charlton I think the Nike tea lady designs our kit while she is waiting for the kettle to boil. These are the pleasures of being a Championship team....
You don't like it? Plain and simple, gorgeous collar with a top button. I love it me. Yours and Sheff Utd are by far the best kit's I've seen this season. We're on templates fella, as are most of Europe's elite. Only a select few get custom shirts, a very select few. Not seen your template on another team. If there's one on an overseas team I might buy it.
You could buy one our ours people will just think you play/played for the University of Greenwich (a flash name for Thames Polytechnic) ..... Do I like it?... I hate our current owner (and that plaything he has brought in as Chief Exec.) with a passion so....... I guess not..
Nah this lad would play for France no=t England In all honesty I think he'll do alright at your level - I, as @Cest Advocaat says, would;ve liked to see more of him at SAFC but wish him all the best now he's gone.
