Thomas is coming from Arsenal for only 100k. That is a good deal for a young (21) midfielder with a good upside. "The skilful 20-year-old left-winger, frustrated by a lack of first-team opportunities at Highbury, has signed a two-and-a-half year deal that will keep him at The Valley until June 2006. "It's a great move for me and I'm very excited about playing for Charlton," said Brent-born Jerome. "Charlton were not my only option but I really wanted to come to this club. "I've always been impressed with the way they play football and that was the main attraction - I think the way Charlton play will suit my game." I hope that he helps. He probatly will get a reserve match or two, then into the matchday squad.
