The signing of Karlan Grant has not been greeted with universal enthusiasm by Charlton supporters who seem not to realise that Nathan Jones has to work within a tight budget.
Karlan has been on my radar since he was 15,” Jones told
Richard Cawley. “I was aware of Karlan when I coached here with the U21s. I
really took an interest in him.
“I spoke to Harty (Paul Hart, then academy boss) about him
and he said: ‘This kid has got it all - he can be a bit special’. He has proved
that. He went through the Charlton age groups quickly and got into the first
team.”
“He got a move and did fantastically well. At that point the
financial side really helped Charlton. Since he has moved on, and his career
has developed, Charlton have continued to benefit (from future transfers).”
The sanguine supremo added: ‘You look at midfield and I’d
like to bring another midfield player that gives us real control in a game. But
you’ve seen the emergence of Alan Mwamba, which is wonderful. How you saw him
play today (against Gillingham), he has been like that every single day in
training. So that gives us an option.’
