Charlton completed the signing of Declan Rudd from Norwich City on a season-long loan deal yesterday afternoon.
The 25-year-old goalkeeper, who made his professional debut in 2009, played 11 Premier League games last season.
The former England U21 star will spend the 2016/17 campaign at the Valley after becoming Russell Slade's fifth signing of the summer.
Charlton fans took to Twitter to express their feelings on the move:
Declan Rudd a top signing IMO even if it is just a season long loan #cafc

Glad #CAFC got Declan Rudd albeit on loan.

Shame to lose Pope & Henderson but Rudd looked very good for Norwich at times last season!
Very happy with Rudd, top quality keeper. Any chance of the transfers being like London buses? A man can dream. #cafc

Declan Rudd saves the day! #CAFC

Declan Rudd is a class keeper but would have rather got a permanent one #cafc

Let's hope that Rudd signing is only the start of a few incomings at #cafc this week.

A very good signing still slightly papering over the cracks at #CAFC. But I am looking forward to seeing Rudd play, great keeper on his day🔴

Charlton have signed possibly the best keeper I've seen in a north end shirt in the last 5 seasons! #cafc

Declan Rudd is an excellent signing. Very surprised he's dropped to League 1 #cafc

While the general mood was positive, several supporters pressed the club to further bolster Russell Slade's squad:
Obviously that's the position that needed to be filled most desperately, but we're still 5-7 short, which is a ridiculous position to be in.

Can't knock slades signings so far pleased with the quality of them all.. Just need a hell of a lot more! #cafc

Pleased with Rudd but need a CB, a winger, a CM under 30 and a striker AT LEAST! #Cafc

Delighted with signing of Rudd (even if it is a loan) - just need another 5 more with 4 days left until Bury. Ridiculous situation #cafc

You know what @CAFCofficial, that's not too bad. However, we are kind of a bit short everywhere else. #cafc
— James McKinven (@JMcKinven) August 2, 2016
Rudd is a very good signing. Need 3/4 more though #CAFC
