El K 'bored with European football'

Talal El Karkouri has signed a two-year contract with Qatar SC after leaving Charlton. He was out of contract at the Valley and has moved on.

After spending three years with The Addicks, El Karkouri feels it is time to sample a new footballing experience. 'I depart with good memories from Charlton, but I am bored with European football anyway,' El Karkouri told the Currant Bun. 'I feel it is about time for me and my family to live in a country like Qatar.' Each to his own, although I hear that the country's airline is rather good.
