It's pretty obvious he will want to leave, we are a sinking ship in more ways than one. He can get better wages and play with a lot more talent around him by leaving, doesn't bother me if we get money for him to be honest. It will go into RD's pocket and can't see it coming back into the club in any positive sense. He will be replaced by an untrained in the English football leagues, network player.
Wish him well when he does go, he has went about his career perfectly, he's on peoples radars now and is a grafter with real real potential
I've heard we'll get one more year of him if we stay up
That is better news. It is a big if though without any further players coming into the squad. I guess we will get to see whether Jose Riga can find some goals in the team.
So just to clarify..........He's signing a new long term contract imenantly, but it's only for a year and to be signed at the end of the season if we stay up and he can't wait to be off come May. Does that about sum up the situation or have I missed something?
Contract negotiations are underway with Poyet, Hamer, Morison and Dervite. The questions from that are they prepared to sign and what if they do are the escape clauses.
A club source before anyone asks, but not a startling revelation really.
To be fair, all of those players have proven themselves in the Championship-they probably don't fancy another year in League One so you can hardly blame them for stalling.
Another four reasons why staying up is so important.....
If he refuses to sign anything then as soon as we're either safe from relegation (ideally) or relegated then JJ should do him in training. At least he'll piss off with a limp.
If however he signs then JJ should not do this .....
Why would any of the few decent players we have sign now? They were messed about by the last owners, new owners sack the manager who brought them in. Have seen a bunch of average SL players come in. Can't blame any of them now waiting to see what League we are in and who's the manager.
I received the weekly 'what's trending on Twitter' email this morning and saw Diego Poyet favourite someone else's tweet 'Please! im begging! sign a new contract with us #CAFC !' I got all excited just before noticing the date was Mar. 18..... Anyway, still a positive sign. I don't think he would have favourited that tweet if he had already made the determination to leave the club.

Yer I tweeted him saying to please sign a contract and that him and cousins will be future Charlton legends.. He 'favourited' that too
Or it could mean a contract if we're in the Championship & a lesser one in League 1.
Maybe the Contract will just state... Your going to earn £X amount regardless of the Championship or League One yet if we're relegated and a big club come in for you then we wont stand in the way should we receive £X amount of money
Edit (After a Thought)
Diego has to be careful himself... He was one of the best players against Burnley and they tried taking him out a few times... Should some nasty Kevin Muscat type player succeed then we could say "Nah we wont offer a Contract because of your injury" and the same could be said for so called "Big clubs", at least if he did sign even a token Contract he'd be safe from this sort of thing
Wasnt it Rufus who was due to sign a Contract yet got his nasty injury and we withdrew it?
Or could be we're playing tough and showed him two contracts. First one is a football contract, the other is for a hitman if he doesn't sign the first. Belgians aren't as nice as they lead people to believe.

#cafc story in paper today that Diego Poyet the subject of couple of contract offers from the club.
Guessing it is £xxx pa for three years or £x pa for two years but as I said guessing.
