wasnt there a bloke on here who said he went to a party with diego and diego told him exactly what was going on but couldnt comment (for obvious reasons) at the time. I wonder what it was...
No, it just means he is looking out for himself. Had our club looked out for him a year earlier then we wouldn't have had the situation arise.
Charlton FC fucked it up, nobody else.
Fortunately we have an owner with the wealth and vision not only to sign young talent but to restrict loan signings so that the coach has to play the likes of Fox, Harriott, Cousins and Gomez on a regular basis. Many fans have been on here saying this and that about how we need three loans. Well you only have a first XI plus seven subs - we are winning games with what we have and our academy players are getting exposure. I'm sure mistakes will happen in future but weright now all is well.
Poyet was class for us he showed a lack of class not signing, he showed an even greater lack of class talking shit about the truth will come out, there's more to it than you will know bullshit
It's a lack of maturity and a lack of class tbh
He is without doubt a gifted lad and will have a great career
I wouldn't call him a greedy cnut, or portray him like the real original greedy cnut defoe
Some players, like Joe Gomez for example, have their heads screwed on properly and realise actually playing is what is important and while doing so is picking up a decent wage for a 17 year old. Others, like the kid who went to Chelsea, and to a certain extent Poyet, would rather earn xx k per week and not actually play. In the long run its people like Gomez who are the winners. Ask Scott Parker. Chased the money and it hindered his career. I'm not happy with what Poyet did but he made his bed, now he can lie in it. Or rather sit on the Huddersfield bench.
Money aside, there's a lot of prestige difference about playing for a Championship club and a premiership club.
There are hundreds of reasons why if I was a player I would rather be at west ham than Charlton, and people talking about pigott getting a 3 year contract, Poyet would have seen a lot of his friends fade into nothingness in the football world.
Football has very very few loyalties, its a very short career and no one gets to attached because you could be out on loan at huddersfield tomorrow...
I would think he was on the bench because he joined Huddersfield late in the week and probably didn't know his new teammates too well. Plus Powell's loyalty would mean he wouldn't immediately drop a regular for a newbie. The only loyalty on football is us lot - fans. That's why we find it so bloody horrible when a player leaves for more dough. As has been said before, not many tears shed for the likes of Tamer Tuna when they were shown the door.
Yep Poyet should have signed for us and his career would have taken off like Joe Piggott's has I mean seriously , John Bostock you can say mucked his career up by going Spurs or was lucky enough to earn a load of money by making that move, both are guesses So anyone who stays at Charlton has their head screwed on and if they go elsewhere they haven't Scott Parker made his debut in August 1997 and left in January 2004 seems like he'd done his bit before jumping ship to chase the money If we'd had Wayne Rooney or Cristiano Ronaldo should they have stayed with us rather than leave at 18 to go to Man Utd Did Lee Bowyer go to early or is that one ok because we needed the money
Of course we'd love everyone to stay and play for us and of course its sooooo annoying the good players leave for pastures new but surely people understand that these players are a short time in the game and wanna take it (the money) while it's there It's a short career and you're a long time out of the game
In the romantic old days of player wage caps the situation was great for us football fans because there was no real monetary advantage but those dreamy days disappeared before I was born and unfortunately it is what it is and I agree its not good for the likes of us (except when we can entice greedy players to come and play for us when/if we make it to the Prem or did the likes of Darren Bent & Marcus Bent only join us cos they loved us or did they join for differing reasons that aren't for the money)
Do people think everyone signs for us because they love us and not for mainly monetary reasons
Would Gomez have stayed if Wenger had come along like he did for Jenkinson Was it ok Jenkinson left or not ?
He shafted us. We allowed it to happen but it was Diego who did it.
I don't see how he has shafted us. We let his contract run out and he left. Loyalty works two ways; it's worth asking the question, in the years that he was in our various youth teams how many of his friends and colleagues had been dumped by the club? Or should I say 'let go' in the mangled terminology that clubs use to disguise the fact that they are stamping on a young player's dreams. Poyet didn't run out with the till or anything. He played more than his fair share in keeping us up and then walked away.
I'm not arguing that we shouldn't feel disappointed or that he couldn't have handled the situation better. You could well argue that we shafted ourselves (or at maybe The Mysterons did - or perhaps even Baton for selling them a pup) but we've not been shafted by him.
Once again, he wasn't offered a deal early enough or he was never going to sign. Not ITK but Gus Poyet used to live next door to Jiminez...a number of ex Chelsea players helped to fund les Bourdes and we know how that worked out... And/or West Ham tapped him up...and/or his dad said you can do better. So maybe Diego Poyet was never going to sign for us? We are in a better place now and we are signing the likes of Gomez so that Our club gets full value when he goes. My focus is on CAFC vs Millwall - I don't care who Huddersfield play next. We have to win at home to satisfy Staprix that it is worth investing in quality players to push on.

It is a new challenge of sorts I s'pose.

But he is a classless cnut that's for sure
He should never have been allowed to be in the position he was in. Poor management within the club.

None of the cryptic bollox and bullshit just go
i reckon he wanted to say something but was advised not to , he should have been advised to shut up in the first place
