Oh well what? Seems like a decent punt to me, on a player that's done it at a much higher level than the Championship, sounds like the right sort as well...!!!  leave it out, he is with us because nobody else wants him |

The deal is only till 24/12/13 so more of an emergency loan to cover the current injuries.
Offy says he's been training with the club so seems he has integrated well. Its help for Austin at, it would seem, a reasonable and realistic price so can't really knock it.
If AJ goes to Palace in January (hopefully) then Harry will need to get another striker in anyway. I think BZ and AJ's contracts are up at the end of the season anyway so, other than Austin, Harry or whoever else will be in charge then will need to get new strikers in as I doubt either of them two will be renewed.
The guy could turn out to be decent help for Charlie so will be interesting to see what happens with him.

We seek them here, we seek them everywhere. To the ends of the earth, our Rangers go. Those elusive Strikers.
Saw his picture. Looks like Queequeg from Moby Dick. Nothing like Tommy Lawton.

"Last season, Chevanton made 16 appearances for Lecce, netting ten " And this stat interests me cos if he can score against their Serie A defences, believe me he'll enjoy the championship. Interesting signing IMO. We'll see  |

Not heard that name for 50 years and then twice in an instant. This post which I read whilst listening to radio 4 extra adaption of Moby Dick and at almost the same instant I read the word that's being spoken. How odd. |

Would I be right in assuming that The Chev will be fit and available for Saturday? I wouldn't have thought that he would be here for a few months only, and we have to bring him up to match fit within that time? It wouldn't seem worth it!
And what IS happening with Diakite?

If you go all the way to Uruguay get a Suarez, with less distemper. Otherwise go to Paraguay (dont ask me why.)  it rhymes. |

we could have a match where it sounds like we have a car upfront an Austin Chevanton. but no point trying to judge a player until he gets a few games under his belt.

Touching story: Ernesto Chevanton and Lecce
Posted on June 18, 2013 by myheartbeatsfootball

There was once a striker in Serie A that played wonderfully for Lecce and all Serie A fans used to admire his skills, especially his free-kicks. This man is Ernesto Chevanton, a striker from Uruguay that signed for Lecce when he was 21. In 3 season he scored 45 goals for Lecce and was sold to Monaco in 2004. In 2 season he scored 20 goals in the league and 2 in Champions League, but a number of injuries denied him from doing the big move to a top club. In 2006 he won at Sevilla, a Coppa UEFA, a European Supercup and a Coppa del Rey.
In 2012 he returned at Lecce, where he found a different Lecce from that of Zeman 10 years before. They were not a middle-table club anymore, but were fighting for relegation.
To make matters worse, Lecce were involved in the Calcioscommesse scandal (betting scandal) and were relegated to the Lega Pro prima divisione (3rd tier of Italian football).
Chevanton, from earning millions a year, signed a contract of 900€ a month, the salary of a normal worker. Lecce fans were astonished and appreciated what he did. He promised to get the club back to Serie A. The club that gave him the opportunity to shine. The club that made him a great player. The club that let him leave to become a star, but unfortunately injuries ruined his chances.
Lecce fans went to his home to thanks him, most of them with tears in their eyes. Unfortunately, what he promised did not happen. Lecce lost the promotion play-off and were not promoted to Serie B. Fans were furious and entered in the pitch to riot. He was the only player to remain in the pitch and say sorry to Lecce fans. He was the only Lecce player applauded and consoled by the fans.
A tearful Chevanton told the fans: “I did my best I am sorry, but some other players betrayed the team”
This is the story of a could-been star, that decided to play in the 3rd tier of Italian football at 900€ a month, as a sign of respect to his former club and fans.
This is what football should be about, and how football players should be! Respect to Chevanton.
