So at least that saga is over.
Today George Dobson signed on a free for Wrexham on a two-year contract and he will join them on their Hollywood spin around the U.S.A on their pre-season tour in a couple of weeks.
Please click for moreWord reaches us from Székesfehérvár that George Dobson and his family won’t be leaving their Chigwell home and moving to the historical central Hungarian region after all.
It was strange that Fehérvár hadn’t announced Dobson’s signing once his Charlton one expired, especially as they had made quite a big deal out of it in January, but it turns out the ‘binding pre-contract’ has been annulled.
Please click for moreCharlton have issued the names of players that will leave and stay for next season.
The only player offered a new deal was Tyreece Campbell, who has signed a new unknown length contract.
Please click for moreWith a record breaking 82% of the vote 27-goal Alfie May won Sunday’s POTY award voted for by supporter’s.
In 2nd place was George Dobson and 3rd was Terell Thomas, somewhat surprisingly but I bet that the top two made up about 98% of the vote and the rest was shared amongst a number of players.
Please click for moreThe conversation on whether George Dobson will stay or leave in the summer has got louder and louder these past few weeks. There are over 3,300 comments on the Charlton Life Forum, and Nathan Jones spent the bulk of his post game chat throwing the club’s decision makers under the bus whilst singing George’s praises.
The people that matter – those that were witness to the deal in the first place including Fehérvár, George’s agent, Andy Scott and George himself have been pretty silent on the matter.
Please click for moreDraw no. 20. Very disappointing to finish off without a win, but at least The Valley had George Dobson to serenade on his final Valley appearance.
Please click for moreMore farce down at Charlton today played out for all to see.
George Dobson was about to jump on a plane in the morning to have a medical, sign his contract and have his photo taken as Hungarian side Fehervar’s new transfer deadline signing.
Please click for moreLots more chatter around the January transfer window yesterday from Andy Scott. I do agree with him that January is a very tough window to trade in, but it will be interesting to see who the club can entice and how much real financial support they get from the new owners.
January will be a tell-tale month in many ways.
Please click for moreDefinitely plenty of work needed, as well as new players, but a welcome opening day win for the Addicks over Leyton Orient today.
There was a lot to like, but we made a little bit too much work out of it in the end, but did enough to deserve the win in front of a very decent crowd.
Please click for moreLet’s be honest the best, most consistent, game-changing player won the Addicks’ Player of the Year last night.
The Palace lad was a joy to watch and a credit to himself and his parent club. I’ll be content if those lot from Croydon lend us their next rising star next season.
Please click for moreJes Rak-Sakyi was today nominated for the EFL League One Young Player of the Season, and deservedly so. Ipswich’s Cameron Humphreys and Plymouth’s Bali Mumba round out the list.
I should also acknowledge Zach Mitchell who was nominated for the L1 Apprentice of the Year. Great achievement.
Please click for moreWe do like a day out in Pompey don’t we..
Well, well. Happy New Year. What a pleasant surprise, and it will give us all a lift, but we have to now use this as a platform to move forward in what is a very important month.
Please click for moreAn interesting but correct decision from Dean Holden to make George Dobson captain over Jayden Stockley.
Dobson is a thoroughly better leader, and someone who I think plays in a position that has more influence on the game and his teammates. If I did a straw vote I would say Dobbo is most fan’s favourite player, and that substance over style.
Please click for moreThis team….. Just when you want to shun them, give them the cold shoulder, they come up and give you a big fat slobbering kiss!
What a performance, one filled with heart and hope. I didn’t want to use that last word, but it spilled out. There is a lot to happen still off the pitch, whether sooner or later, but it was a night for us not to forget all of the issues, but a night to saviour, and to remember what it is to support this football club.
Please click for moreWe have had some great games with the Tractor Boys over the years, but that was just mad.
It was a game in which at times we were outplayed, and for periods on top. Defensively it was pretty shambolic, from both sides, but what great character to come back from 2-4 after 95 minutes.
Please click for moreTalk about a game of two halves.
We should have been dead and buried at the break, at least 0-3 down with O’Connell the pinnacle of a dreadful bunch and only Joe Wollacott showing any signs of life with a terrific performance that kept us in the game.
Please click for moreHe got my vote and a large majority of everyone else’s, George Dobson came a long way this season after being frozen out by Nigel Adkins to win the Addicks’ 2021/22 Player of the Year.
Just 24-years-old, Dobson wasn’t only the best of a bad bunch in this turgid of season’s, he was actually very good, and capped an excellent season by scoring a corker at Rotherham a few weeks back.
please click for moreAhhhh. Enjoy that one Addicks. Out of the blue came a very well deserved win on the road against a very good side.
A solid defensive display with another dominating performance from MacGillivray with Pearce once again relishing and coming out on top of a stiff battle against a team that pep your box with a range of balls.
Please click for moreCouldn’t ask for much more than that.
Doncaster were poor, but Jacko’s team executed an astute game plan, pressed and harried, got forward in numbers creating loads of chances and ended with another important clean sheet.
Please click for moreUnrecognizable that performance. Full of core traits we hold dear – passion, spirit, commitment. Since 1905 it is all you can demand as a Charlton fan.
Sunderland had won every league game at home this season, and then up on the LNER comes this rag tag of bunch Addicks led by a man dressed like the bloke from the Milk Tray advert. They must hate us.
Please click for moreI can’t complain that I’ve never heard of him as I was calling for young players proven at this level that I’d never heard off!
George Dobson fits that re-build, released by Sunderland today, the 23-year old defensive holding midfielder that impressed on loan at AFC Wimbledon this past season joins on a 2-year deal.
