Yann Kermogant

That game when he returned for Reading he absolutely tore us apart. Didn't he score from the halfway line which would have given him a hat-trick only for it to be disallowed? Or am I dreaming that. That game summed the Belgiums up for me, he was sold on and being marked by Roger Johnson!13

Scored yesterday for Reading, still too old?2

He pinged one in from at least 25 yards, but it was disallowed for a handball in the build up.Nug said:That game when he returned for Reading he absolutely tore us apart.

I think everyone apart from Roland and Tommy D could’ve guessed what was going to happen that day1 -

Nice to keep tabs on one of our real hero’s but for anyone that thinks he could ever come back I agree. Move on.Daarrzzetbum said:Move on

Still, after all the regimes mistakes, forcing Yann out is the one that makes me most angry.13

I believe Yann would make a very good coach - and for him to start at CAFC would be magnificant.1

The thing about Yann was that not only was he brilliant in the air, but he was fucking good on the floor too - one of the best all-round players i-ve seen at The Valley for at least a decade.18

Yann
Technical intelligent beast warriors with a decent helping of flair don't come along often.11 -
Would have him back in a heartbeat, even at 46, let alone 36. Would be a great number 10 in KRs system and might offer some physical muscle that would allow us to play a more nippy number 9.10

Similar to how he played at Bournemouth. Wide midfielders that would cut in, full backs getting forward and overlapping, the main goalscorer ahead of him.Exiled_Addick said:Would have him back in a heartbeat, even at 46, let alone 36.

I know Powell was a more cautious manager but I'd have loved to see what he'd have done with a decent budget in the Championship. He built an effective team to get out of League 1 and compete in the Championship. Never got the chance to improve it with better wingers/more technical midfielders.5 -
Wasn't Powell after a few players when our cash ran out who ended up doing well elsewhere?Scoham said:

Puncheon I think, can't remember the others.
If he'd have been allowed to add to the League One winning team with a decent budget I think we'd have gone up the year Palace dived their way up instead.4 -
If we had managed to sneak into the playoffs that year, I reckon it could have been ours for the taking. We were in really good form.North Lower Neil said:

Bigger team , Bournemouth ! They were in the Championship I think at the time , the same as us.SE23 said:He actually pretended to be be injured and not play because we did offer what he wanted for a new contract. We did not let him go just couldn't match a bigger teams offer!

Yes he wanted several players that could have made a real difference. See @Garrymanilow's post here:North Lower Neil said:

Every single one of them subsequently went on to play Premiership football with teams that got promoted and were central parts those squads. One of my biggest disappointments as a Charlton fan is that we lost that momentum going up with Cash pulling his funding out. We finished 3 points off the play-offs with Pritchard, Wagstaff and Obika in our team. Imagine what we could have done with the players Powell wanted.

I seem to remember that Richie De Laet and Sone Aluko were possibly two of the othersNorth Lower Neil said:

This. The only thing needed to shut up any apologists is to ask them "do you think it was a good move to sell Kermorgant & replace him with Pete the Pole". There is simply no reply they can make. Whilst I'm not into calling players "legends" Kermorgant is up there with Killer, Bowyer, Parker & Mendonca as players that you can say fondly "I've seen him in our shirt" no matter who else they may have played for.Covered_End_Lad said:Still, after all the regimes mistakes, forcing Yann out is the one that makes me most angry.

What a classy bloke he is.guinnessaddick said:4 -
In no way am i trying to denigrate Yann's letter to Wil, as he is a very classy guy, but after having spoken to Yann before, i know his grasp of English is not up to the standard in the letter, and was clearly written by club staff - but still a great thing to do.0

I would have thought his English has improved significantly since you last spoke to him - I expect your French has improved recently as well!The_President said:In no way am i trying to denigrate Yann's letter to Wil, as he is a very classy guy, but after having spoken to Yann before, i know his grasp of English is not up to the standard in the letter, and was clearly written by club staff - but still a great thing to do.

I’d be surprised if anyone employed to write professionally had produced that letter. The second paragraph is a single sentence which is far too long, a sure sign of someone who doesn’t write regularly. No shame in that from a footballer who isn’t writing in his first language, but it would be poor from someone working in an office. It’s probable, of course, that it was a collaboration.1

Sorry President, but I think you're barking up the wrong tree there. That looks like a transcribed note to me, typed up by the office staff maybe, but definitely Yann's own work!The_President said:In no way am i trying to denigrate Yann's letter to Wil, as he is a very classy guy, but after having spoken to Yann before, i know his grasp of English is not up to the standard in the letter, and was clearly written by club staff - but still a great thing to do.
