i guess hoping that if they go down some other champioship side picks him up? its 3.5 years so maybe charlton hope to get some money as well if they do go down too.
Jorge Teixeira Deal Finalized?
- Thread starter Kjbert
- Start date
Great the league as a whole needs to start getting more talent form the Americas.Incroyable means incredible in French and thats how we all feel at this point. Looks like he is very close to be going to Charlton Athletic after all. We didn't bring enough to the table. Back to Central America to look for talent

strange that we've been following this for weeks, we knew about flamencos interest and how they shifted gears, we have confirmation from multiple fronts that the negotiations went smoothly and a personal friend who said he was excited to come to NYC and the deal was all but signed. Then some random twitter guy posts something about Charlton of all places, a bunch of other random news sites parrot that claim with no new information, and he's gone.
Sounds very familiar to the Pirlo drama. I am going to say we still sign him, and this is all BS.

Idk, I think it's reasonably likely that his old coach, now at Charlton and in a relegation battle, heard that Teixeira was moving to MLS and intervened. In the 2 weeks while we sat and waiting for Standard to complete their incoming transfer, his old coach called him and talked him into joining them instead for a slightly higher wage. Bad business by Standard, or the reports we were getting were just too confident.
It's honestly a huge shock. As of Saturday everything was set for a move to NYC. This has come out of nowhere.
From what I've seen after doing a quick twitter search is that none of the breaking sources on it have confirmed that it's a done deal, just that it's "close" - and "close" means nothing in the twitter world. So maybe it will happen and he goes to Charlton, and maybe this is just a last minute ploy by his agent to squeeze a few extra bucks out of NYCFC. It is quite surprising with the NYCFC deal reportedly done with smooth negotiations, that the Charlton rumor heats up out of nowhere considering they're a club barely hanging on to the Championship and it's for 3.5 years - that's a long time (possible 3 years) to be in League 1 if they go down.
If he goes, he goes, and I will relish Charlton getting stuck in the 3rd division for his entire contract..... hopefully this is just subterfuge and on Tuesday there's an announcement he transferred to the good guys.

1. They're relegated to League One, he wants out and we get him at a discount during the summer transfer window.
2. Buy Charlton and transfer him to us.

its just weird, even if he didnt come to us. Why go from Standard to charlton? even if your old coach is there. in less than six months you may not be making the same amount of money if they get brought down to league 1
Charlton is in Greenwich, which is one of the posh areas of London, so it's pretty lovely in all honesty.
Disappointing news, though as others have said it's not decided until it's announced by the club. Just interested to see how the club responds to this.
February 18 but this seems like an important and overlooked point. Will we even get announcements before this date? I don't really understand the transfer certificate stuff
I think, but can't confirm, that a contract can be agreed to/completed prior to the transfer window, however the actual transfer of FIFA certificate does not take place until the window of the recipient opens.
All things considered only a fool passes up the chance to play in NYC.
Just got off work and saw the news. Gut-wrenching.
However, if these reports are true, it's important that we move on from this, just like the the FO will. There's no denying Teixeria's talent. He would've been a great fit in the heart of our defense. However, the world is full of talented players and I'm putting my money on that the FO has already begun preparations for new potential targets for NYC.
My greatest fear is that the FO will make a "panic" decision and sign a player that doesn't fit the culture and vision of the team. However, ever since PV and his staff were brought on board, I can see the patience in their decision making. PV and Reyna has a vision for this team, something that was blurred last season. I can say for certainty that they'll look to improve our team. If it's not Teixeria, it'll be someone else.
We still have time. The offseason isn't over tomorrow. We'll be linked to players soon...perhaps they'll potentially be an even greater fit for our team than Teixeria.

You know what they say (they meaning me, I'm just going on the fly here), sometimes Plan B turns out to be Plan Better.
I'm sure the FO knew this two weeks ago or more. You don't agree to a transfer overnight.
I just hope we come into those things super prepared, as in our backup plans have backup plans.
