For those that had been wondering if Solly had made the latest shortlist... ''Chris Solly has not been included in the latest shortlist for the GB Olympics football team'' Taken from the Official CAFC Twitter! (https://twitter.com/#!/CAFCofficial) Gutted for him after having such a fantastic season!! But i'm sure if he carries on the way he has been playing he'll be a full international within a couple of years! Oh and Andy Hughes has renamed Chris Powell "Josep Powelly-ola" after Charlton's promotion on Saturday it seems!
It's a shame for Solly, but Nathaniel Clyne had the position cemented for months. He should be proud that he was recognised for the original (albeit 191 players) squad. Bigger things are yet to come for our Chris.
Keeps the attention away from him, which, purely for selfish reasons is only a good thing for us. Means low interest and more chance of him still being here next year. I'm sure he wasn't getting carried away with himself though, and probably expected not to make the squad. Hopefully he's as proud of himself as we are of him, both for his inclusion in the original shortlist, and for his performances this season.
