After years of pioneering the way to introduce foreign players to top flight football, Charlton are to field their first Frenchie, Madjid Bougherra, or to give him his Arabic name, مجيد بوغرة.
Although he is a renown Algerian defender he was actually born in Dijon, France, so he should be hot as mustard coming from there.
Saddened Owl's fans have given mixed reactions to his leaving the Blue Knives and have criticised his decision not to play for them once he heard Premiership clubs were interested in him. Other fans wish him well and knew it would only be a matter of time before he moved to top flight football.
One bonus for the Charlton back line is he speaks fluent French and should have no problems communicating with Diawara and El Kakouri, unfortunately, having spent most of the year living in Sheffield his English is likely to be almost incomprehensible, tha knows.......
If you want a shuftie at his prowess on and off the ball you can visit his website http://www.bougherra.com/home.php and view the videos, just look at how many opponents end up on their arse after a swift dip of the shoulder from the Boogieman.
One thing's for certain, the guy is a one off and is certain to be a legend within his own lunchtime and will not fail to endear himself to the hearts of the Charlton fans from the first whistle, whether the bloke can help save us from the big 'R' is something else.
Personally, I love him already..........
