I'd love to be a fly on the wall concerning some of these players dealings with the club, and especially last summer's recruitment which was a shambles after the relatively successful recruitment in the previous summer
must have missed that
Buyens, TBH, Bulot, JBG and perhaps Bikey for half a season. It was enough to keep us up.

Noticed that Spurs have just signed that Vincent Janssen from AZ Alkmaar.
What caught my eye was that he was playing at the same level as Polish Pete when we signed him... He'd scored 16-goals for De Graafschap that season and was signed by us for £800k, Janssen was playing for Almare City and scored 10-goals that same season and a year later went to AZ for £350k... Another round of applause for the regime and their Spreadsheets?
17m for a striker who's only had 1 (admittedly good) season in the Eredivisie seems a lot of money though. Buys from that league can go either way. Could be a Suarez or a van Nistelrooy but could just as easily be a Kezman or an Alves.

17m is peanuts for a striker these days , especially as Spurs are in the champions league .
kashi out half the season we ain't going to miss cousins when we sell him.hope they got some money to spend for his replacement probs be poyet in loan again.
"Charlton handed him a contract until 2019 - and his transfer symbolises the botched nature of deals before Russell Slade arrived as manager earlier this summer."
It just goes to show that contracts are worthless. ZB has effectively gone on strike by not reporting back for training and he's got his way by getting a free transfer. Glad he's going but should we be holding out for a transfer fee?
You will probably find he was told not to bother coming in for training BECAUSE they wern't interested in keeping him. May be wrong though.
Posibly but that isn't what the SLP is saying. Reads more like his not return to get a move. Wouldn't be surprised if that suits the club as well but still a poor deal as the SLP says.
Also with a new manager it should be down to Slade to have a look at him and then move him on not the CEO or whoever to pay him off/sack him before Slade has a chance to decide.
Agree with the last paragraph Henry, but sadly we don't operate under what should happen anymore
True but in this case I think Zac has gone AWOL and we've been left with no option. Not that I think Slade will be very upset, I'm not.
If he has gone AWOL and not turned up for training, we should be doing him for breach of contract.
Do the Club have the names of any good specialist employment lawyers?

A fit Kashi coming into the side after xmas what a boost that will be
A fit Kashi in August would have been an even better boost.

Achilles injuries are notoriously difficult. Wouldn't be at all surprised if he's out all season.

He broken the terms of his contract so there won't be any pay offs

I thought he was told not to come back?
That was what I was told. Person who told me said he was contacted after Slade met with a few of the senior players.
I have no idea if its true but have no reason to doubt the person who told me and they would know.
Just seen in a paper from last week that Liverpool and Fenerbache are after Brad Jones? Seems odd seeing as he was let go by Bradford and seemingly rejected by us.

Unless RD states the terms & KM just negotiates around the edges.
