The long anticipated departure of Thierry Racon came to pass today, several hours after a text from a mate who knew he was at the Toolbox earlier today to complete the deal. I wish him well but suspect the fans he lauded today may soon be expressing their disappointment unless he can show much more consistency than he managed at the Valley. Describing Millwall as "a big club," may just be a footballers cliche but won't escape the notice of Addicks who know better.
On a more positive note, we have completed the signing of Paul Hayes and Cedric Evina today. Hayes was supposedly a late target of Millwall but his track record isn't exactly awe-inspiring. Still, I respect the managers viewpoint and will judge him based on what I see. Ex-Arsenal youngster, Evina, has signed for two years from Oldham. He describes himself as a left-back which makes you wonder if Kelly Youga is to be written off. In terms of judging these signings on the basis of improving our squad and being players evidently capable of playing at Championship level, I have to say they are short of the Hollands standard on face value and certainly not in the "exciting" category we have been lead to believe were in the pipeline. Maybe they will be next up?
