Dennis Rommendahl - he has been class all season and is the type of player Charlton need, he can take on defenders and deliever a great cross, he has lots of pace and can easily score a few this season. I also think Danny Murphy will be great in midfield, he can replace Jensen and is very creative.
Young Gun
Jerome Thomas has been playing well during pre-season, he has alot of talent and could shine this season if given the chance, if he shows his pre-season form through-out the season, then he will make the breakthrough to the first team sooner or later.
Perdiction
Always difficult to perdict a Charlton season, about 3 weeks ago I would of said that we will struggle because teams around us have brought better, but after the signings of Danny Murphy and Francis Jeffers, I feel alot more confident, I think we will finish one better than last year in 6th place - hopefully meaning europe. I would love to go on a good cup run this season, if the draw favours us then maybe the Caring Cup is possible.
