Regan Charles-Cook

[madrid_gill]

21-yr old midfielder signed from Charlton. Turned down a new deal from them, apparently, so presumably a fee involved?

“I like driving with the ball, getting assists and a few goals. I will work my socks off.”

Sounds good!

 

[valenciagill]

Sounds promising !

 

[madrid_gill]

Spent most of last year on loan at Woking, scored 6 in 29 games for them.

Does he have any questionable tattoos?

 

[madrid_gill]

Looks like the BBC jumped the gun a bit though, couple of weeks ago they were reporting he was staying with Charlton until the summer of 2019.

That's really good news - hopefully a game changer in midfield alongside the steady ones.

If resources are indeed limited, then cover at full back is a must.

 

[OneSirKeefy]

Looks decent in that video above. For a mid-fielder he certainly seems to get forward nicely.

Welcome aboard Regan.

(anyone know of a decent charlton forum to get their views?).

Actually, just seen that the Charlton OS also reported on the 18th May that he'd signed a 1-year extension, yet our OS says he turned down a new deal for them

You can expect two more of a similar ilk this week, I’ve heard.

 

[madrid_gill]

Similar ilk as in goalscoring midfielders? Or as in promising youngsters?

 

[NickDay85]

“3 Young midfielders” was the term used

 

[LancsGordoRoad]

Welcome Regan, sounds promising.

 

[NickDay85]

Well that was unsurprisingly wrong on my part.

Dean Parrett is a great signing. Did well last season with Wimbledon.

 

[madrid_gill]

These things are all relative. 26 is young compared to some of us

 

[chris who]

Looks like he could become a real crowd favourite judging on the clips and Valley fans comments .

 

[Gills88]

I went to a few games at Woking this year when we didn't have a game, is a player who likes to get the ball and attack the defence and has a bit of pace with him, is a good signing for us well done Lovell on pulling this one off.

 

[GillsBluenose]

Looks like he may have the potential to be a Sean Clare type of player.

Remains to be seen but the clips indicate that he has pace and energy to burn which we were short of least season.

Replacement possibly for Byrne?
