Don't believe for one minute that he was "agitating for a move". His interview on the Bournemouth website does not in anyway give the impression that he's delighted to be there.
Our top performer for the best part of 3 seasons, and expected his pay to reflect that, just as any of us would.
so calydon you believe there were similar offers and he chose Bournemouth over us ??
i dont know mate. i just think they were probably closer than we think and that maybe money wasnt the only thing. i just think the way this transfer has gone, he certainly wasnt looking to hear our absolute max offer, powelly said he didnt come back to hear it. fair enough, 11th hour too late and all that. but what i wont believe is any "i love charlton wanted to stay but the new owner wouldnt make it happen or i couldnt see my poor ol mate powelly suffer"
its simples. he dont like belgians
There is a school of thought that there should be no nonsense like absolute maximum offers.
A good employee who has performed should receive just reward without the employer messing about seeing what he can get away with.
I can envisage that Yann may have felt that he wasn't valued and in addition he may, rightly or wrongly, have thought Chris Powell party to that which could be, in his eyes, an added disappointment / betrayal given their previous association.
Rather like my point on the Alnwick thread how much (if any) input has Powell had / been allowed to have?
'Disco Stu: Honestly Charlton Athletic. Who sells their best player in January when in the relegation spots? Sad is an understatement. I presume the player that the much-loved Simpsons bit-part character is referring to is Yann Kermorgant, who left the Championship strugglers to join Bournemouth earlier today.'

We will probably have a foreign manager in for the new season. Powell is being forced out it's just unfair. We shall see anyway. Goodbye Yann, f**king loved you.
Are there many foreign managers that have experiance of league one ?
If you had to keep one of these 3 who would it be?
A) Yann
Wiggins
C) Stephens
It's a good question, arguable a left back 'wont win you the league', but in my opinion (certainly when it comes to having the ball at your feet) Wiggins is our best player.
When Wiggins is on song he is absolutely top quality. Difficult though it will be to replace Yann and see him go, we simply have nobody remotely close to Wiggins in that LB position.

Why is it an exclusive choice? I am delighted that Wiggins is staying but Stephens out of the 3 probably. Left back is less important than a starting CM and striker.

In a few days people will have a look at this and I think a few opinions might shift

He was, he is and will be a legend to me forever. But we move on.. COYR and good luck Yann

Yet when that was about to trigger he said he was injured good job the pitch is fkd he wouldve been missing since xnmas

From some randomer on the beeb.
We're in the bottom 3 with him in the side so all this chat about 'if we go down it's because we sold Yann' is rubbish.
A) Yann
C) Stephens
What if the choice were Yann or Chris?
