I will be surprised if the price for Gomez is more than £3m
I just don't see this. He's under contract, RD is hardly broke, a number of Clubs are sniffing around and Joe is only going to increase in value next season. RD may be a lot of things but when it comes to money stupid isn't one of them. Tell whoever is interested that the fee starts at 5m before add-on's come into play, take it or leave it.
100% this. No way is this just £3 million. If it's £3 million cash then there will be a lot of spin offs.
£3.5mil with a number of add-ons to swell the cost
Bikey has been told he can leave too? So with Gomez going that leaves us with zero senior CB's right? So now we spend the summer catching up on that position. Will that skew out budget on transfers and wages?
Yes as I'd guess we'd be needing to spend up £3m replacing TBH, Johnson and Bikey let alone Gomez and then there's a couple of forwards, a couple of midfielders and cover for full back required - if the Gomez fee doesn't cover the gaps in the squad then why sell him cheap? Surely better to hold on for another year and see his value increase.
Would be gutted to see Gomez go. I know there is a lot of speculation about the fee, but for me I would just like to see him in a Charlton shirt for a couple of years.
He's far from perfect and still a little rough around the edges but the best centreback prospect I've seen in 20 years of going to Valley.

Looks the like the doom and gloom mongers will be back out of the woodwork wanting RD out and asking for season ticket strikes.
Looks like the "everything is well in RD world posse" will be back out of the woodwork saying where would we be without RD and how it'll be fine in the long run

If the player wants a move the owner becomes almost powerless to prevent a sale. Not saying that's true in this case but if Joe has instigated the move then it's certainly not only the owners fault were receiving a seemingly small amount.

better than Rufus ?
Yes. Less aggressive, but much better on the ball
well .. moot point, but I'd have Rufus over Gomez any day of the hypothetical week
In one way it'll be good to get our selling done early, so we can focus on bringing in the new squad and not have potential big numbers for key players hanging over us. In another way having no centre backs (assuming Bikey leaves) when our defense was a key factor last season...
3.5m doesn't go a long way if you're buying proven

I think/fear that CAFC will soon be a kindergarten for young Europeans being tested out for the network .. until January that is when, as last season, we're possibly struggling and there will be moves to bring in experienced Brits as what occurred with the signings of Johnson and Eagles .. though to look on the brighter side, Watt, although a Scot, was a Euro import and he's not too shabby
cant say .. but just wait for the deal to be confirmed.
unless you are RD or maybe KM then you don't know. Not even Uncle Dickie will know.
Hahaha ok.. We will revisit this page once he is at Derby and a "reported fee" is released.
two things...
1. you haven't actually told us anything, so i still have no idea that you know more than the rest of us or don't.
I could say that I have heard that it is less than £7m because someone told me as i was coming into work, that Gomez was going for £3m. That doesn't make me knowledgeable about anything. Large is right, the only people who will actually know about these deals are those directly involved in the deal. I always think that when someone says that they know something but can't share it is just about trying to sound important. If you can't say anything, don't mention it. It really doesn't matter.

Well if Gomez does go I would assume that would signal to JBG that he should should go too. The two players I really enjoyed watching last season. Yeah we have always been a selling club (and on paper do we even need to sell Gomez right now?) but it is always like a gut punch when players do leave way before we have a chance to truly enjoy their skills and potential for our team.
We can only hope it starts a bidding war. If it's as little as £3.5m then Duchatelet's promises were a load of rubbish and we've been mugged off yet again.
If we posted on the O/S that Gomes was available for £3.5m, I reckon there would be half a dozen Championship clubs on the phone together with most of the Premiership and a dozen foreign clubs.

which is maybe what we have just done (only using the national press not the OS).
Posted a while back after speaking with someone as close to Joe as you can get. Being the time of year it is it is hard to get reliable info as people are on holiday etc. Regarding his dad you will not find a more humble, honest and decent bloke. Joe is the young man he is as a result of his upbringing. Joe has had interest in him since he was 12. All focus has been on him staying at Charlton as long as is sensible for player and club. He is best mates with Kasey Palmer and could have gone at the same time for similar money and with all the benefits it would have brought his family. I am taking serious money, a house etc. but he stayed and took the advice of his father. At the end of the season the talk was of 8-10 million with a year back on loan. The front runners were Liverpool back then and that is still the case. Nobody's pushing for a move or making silly demands. It may appear that this is the best time for both club and player to star making those decisions.

This about his family and attitude tallies with what I've heard albeit third or fourth hand.
Not heard anything fees so can't comment other than to say the deals not done until it's done. An offer on the table or the asking price doesn't mean that is the final price.
Maybe there is some sort of clause in Gomez's contract (min release fee, or certain clubs etc..)?
Including a clause like that in his deal may be the only reason we got him to sign a pro-deal for us in the first place..
I have no 'proof' or 'inside info' about the situation - I'm just thinking out loud about why we would take less for him than we did for Bowyer 20 years ago. When you consider how much money there is in the game nowadays and some of the fees paid for good British youngsters it seems absurd.

Still plenty of time for arsenal , city and others to trump their bid.
Now we need 3 centre back minimum to sign. Decent ones won't come cheap either.
One time president of the N U M .. thought he died years ago ((:>)
