If he really has gone to Chelsea - and they may just be rumors - then he would have just f----d up his career with one stroke of a pen.
Chelsea barely play their OWN youth players - look at McEachran being farmed out on loan everywhere and regressing as a result - let alone an 18 year-old from Charlton.
He'd be better off going to Villa or another mid-Premiership club where he'd have a shot at playing - look at the upswing in Jonjo Shelvey's career when he went to Swansea.
Not surprised he has gone but left with a sick feeling by how he has gone about it.When I calm down no doubt i will see it differently but I hope he rots in his Premiership reserve team of choice!
I think Poyet is prepared to do a 'Robbie Elliott' and become a millionaire at the stroke of a signature on contract.
I think Poyet realised he was never going to be in a similar situation to Shelvey and Jenkinson where we could sell them easily even shortly after they penned new deals.
It is a shame poyet is going but he has conducted himself in such a way that said 'I'm off' since even before the last game of the season.
He played out of his skin to get noticed, not for the benefit of the club, just for Diego. Lucky for us his playing well coincided with our need to stay up.
Then he took credit for us staying up, during that 4 months he could have signed an extension as a gesture to the club but no.
So lets say the rumours are true and he is on his way to Chelsea. How is going to a club like Chelsea or whoever it is "greedy"?
Moving from Arsenal to Chelsea, or United to City to get a 10% payrise - thats greed.
Not moving from Charlton at the bottom of the Championship to a club that are in a completely different stratosphere as us FFS.
One thing this outcome has demonstrated is that there are an absolute ton of pratts who support our club who have a heightened opinion of where we are in the pecking order of the sport.
My point was, Poyet, like all youth players (in my opinion), owe us a contract. They don't owe us two. We messed up with Poyet, only gave him 2 years in his first contract.
He has seen this out, fulfilled his commitment and shown loyalty when he could have left at 17. Fair play if he wants to leave. It is sad but he showed us loyalty signing his first contract with us and giving us the opportunity to play him or sell him for profit.
I was far more critical when Palmer left because he have us no loyalty, nothing, when he left.

To be fair though, Jonjo played a fair amount of games for Liverpool and never looked out of place. He used to run the show in Europa League games for them. He made the right decision to leave though us and Liverpool though and he's definitely a better player for it.
Haven't seen it mentioned anywhere on here since the announcement - but someone yesterday said they had heard that he was going to sign for a big club and then be loaned back...might happen yet I suppose. Will be sad not to see him play in a Charlton shirt again - really enjoyed watching his technical skill and I'm sure he'll only get better. Wish he'd have passed forward a bit more though!
Unlike some of the bitter, twisted, comments on here - I'm more realistic and wish him well. At 19 - chance to earn (probably) a lot more money and maybe in the Premier league. Not many would turn it down - its the 21st century and, unfortunately, loyalty is some way down the priority list...

Judging by tweets to him from our players I don't think he'll be coming back on loan. I hope he doesn't either.
If he is lined up to go to Chelsea i find that an astonishing decision on his part. Money can be the only motivation to go there because despite him being a good player , he wont get anywhere near that first team. They might do what they have done with Lukaku and loan him out to another Prem side. Even then that's a big step.
He's only played half a season in a very average side so i don't see this as much as loss Parker , Rob Lee or even Bowyer but if and when he does come back to The Valley in an opposition side he won't get a good reception from me.
Chelsea? A predictable and stupid move (If it happens).
He'll be loaned out to Vitesse Arnhem or another Championship club.
Derby were linked and they've got some recent history with Chelsea (Patrick Bamford went there last season). It wouldn't surprise me if he ended up there, especially if Bryson or Hughes are sold.
he's young, impressionable and he's read the hype about himself. I quote.... "Charlton had been in discussions with the 19-year-old’s representatives" I guarantee that every one of his representatives will have told him to run and make some money while he can, gutted as I am if we were in the same situation we'd probably do the same, just remember where you came from cos it seems like Defoe forgot...
Heh, had a look on Twitter to find these rumours and found this.
@Molloyowls 3 hrs I see Diego Poyet has left Charlton. Would love it if #swfc got him in. Remember being very impressed when I saw him @owlstalk
#MASSIVE
Other than the obvious link he has to the club seems a bit of a poor move, they signed 32/33 year old Tiago this summer already rather than promoting McEachren or Chabolah.
I very much doubt financial security is a problem for him or his family
He has looked after number one, and he does owe us loyalty. I don't give a rats arse that morals in football are worse than those of a kings cross brass, he is not in a position where a one off big contract would help raise him and his family out of a shitty council flat. I understand to a point young footballers being under extreme pressure to do that. This one is not. If he takes a move somewhere like Chelsea and ends up on loan he has gone backwards.
I'm not going to blame the previous board either, they had no money and no inclination to renew his contract. This new board have both and he has still thumbed his piggy nose at the club.

Shelvey did get some game time for Liverpool but nothing can beat playing week in, week out for a young player who needs to learn the game the hard way.
For a young player to spend a season idling on the bench can absolutely wreck their career, look at Scott Sinclair - he was flying at Swansea and now you only see him in the papers when he's with that daft girl from Coronation Street.

Lovely rack though. You don't get that as a championship player.
He gave Chelsea away with his tweets - of course they tapped him up and his dad used to play for them. If it turns out to be a mistake, and it could well be, I'll have a good old laugh. What a shite country Uruguay must be!
Maybe he thinks training and sometimes playing alongside better players will make him a better player?
All this talk of loyalty but if a player isnt deemed good enough then they are dismissed as "deadwood".
Of course if we pick up a young player who is out of contract with their current club they will be "ambitious" and "looking to advance their career" and any fans of his old club will be told they are "bitter" and shouldnt stand in the way of the lad joining a "bigger" club.
We gave him his chance and this is how we get repaid no loyalty nowadays , young players read to many papers and think they av made the big time , lets move on without him.

Get used to it cos there will be a few more bumps in the road.
Would like him to have been loaned back but if such a deal had been struck then I very much doubt the OS statement would have been worded as it has.
Might still happened but sounds like he hasnt signed for anyone else yet.
Villa or Southampton would be ideal but we shall see.

Classless twat, just goes to show you can take the boy from Uruguay, but they're all scummers inside.............
