Bonjour. Kerkar signs 1 year deal

As proclaimed in my last post, Salim Kerkar signed for the Addicks today in a one-year deal. For my next trick I can tell you it will be dark tonight.

Kerkar is predominately left-footed and could be an able replacement for Jackson, who I think will play more of a central role next season and the Frenchman’s pace would also mean he could be very useful in a 4-3-3.

He was one of the many Rangers players who left after they went into administration. Before Glasgow he was at FC Gueugnon in Ligue 2 and he celebrates his 25th birthday this weekend.

A one-year deal is sensible as Powell finds out more about our 3rd Frenchman, and we may well see one or two other players in but I see them only as additions to the squad and not big name signings that will raise eyebrows.

Tonight Charlton beat Crawley Town 1-0 in the latest pre-season friendly. Danny Green powering in a first-half free-kick. 20 players in total got some game time including Danny Hollands and trialist Dorian Dervite, another Frenchman.
