Addicks in for McShane

Following the sale of Madjid Bougherra, Charlton have made a move for out of favour Sunderland player Paul McShane. Apparently, Pards believes that the Republic of Ireland international is just the player to fill the void left by the Algerian’s departure.

McShane has seen his chances limited at the Stadium of Light following a number of below par performances last season and he looks to have no future at the club. Sunderland manager Roy Keane is eager to reduce his playing squad in order to bring in new players and will listen to offers of McShane.

The former West Brom defender should fit in at Charlton well. First, he has just returned from injury and is probably not fully fit which is often the case with our purchases. Second, he fits in with an honourable Charlton tradition started by Feesh and followed by Chris Dickson of being involved in a freak accident. He broke his knee cap in a swimming pool while on holiday during the summer. Perhaps he was trying his diving techniques?

I'm not really bothered who comes in. Although I would have liked us to sign Sodje. No player will now transform the club. We are simply looking to plug holes now.

Lee Bowyer might make a difference,though.
