I don't know how many strikers still in their teens we need? Hines, Sears, Bajner and Dixon are certainly in our books. Savio can be seen as a striker as well. Accordig to reports (even with picures HERE) we seems to have signed - or will sign - another one: Charlton's Danny Uchechi. An Nigerian international who has yet to be played in Charlton's a-team (may have been because problems with a work permit) but played well for Nigeria U23, still 18 (if you can believe what you read) when the team won the Intercontinental cup.
On the same day we read that Tristan has admitted to drink-driving in the middle of London. As he has not been a success on the field (even if he looked a bit better against Sunderland) I guess you have to prove something special off the field to get a prolonged contract. This can't have helped his cause. I guess he will play some games until Cole is back, and that will be it. Can't see him here for another season. It's another thing if your already on a contract, combined with thefeeling that you're the special guy. Then a club will always be behind you.
So next year, Uchechi may be playing instead of Tristan. And it all happened in one day!

To me it sounds like a young man with a sizable ego that tries to "force" his way into a PL team.
The thread on the "Addickted" site, for what its worth (a "sour grapes" warning should be issued) and the fact (?) that he against instructions stopped the cab he was in and insisted on signing West Ham stuff (!!) is a warning sign to me.
Interesting stuff just the same.
Well, it is. But we have signed some ot these guys before, and sometimes with a good result. I guess they do know wht they are doin...
It's one thing to have a big ego in Charlton, another one in West Ham with Zola, Parker and Neill around. But first of all he got to compete with the players in his own age; Hines (who did very well in the Reserves once again, Dixon), Stanislas, Collison and so on...
He may end up like a very humble young man. Even if having some kind of ego may be good for a striker...
Let's see!
Very true, as you say let's see.
