Have you ever considered that we can't afford to keep him, need the money and the player has aspirations to better himself? And he gets the chance to stay in London.colin1961 said:Cousins don't want to stay and fight considering the club stood by him when he had personal issues then Bye Bye
As for the personal issues - didn't come of anything did it?
The player has given us a decent few years service and is at a stage in his career where he's not going to be wasting himself in league 1.
Good luck to the boy.33 -
By the personal issues I assume you mean the non story a few years back which came to nothing.colin1961 said:Cousins don't want to stay and fight considering the club stood by him when he had personal issues then Bye Bye
To suggest Cousins is not someone who would fight for the club is out of order. Although there is disagreement on here at times about his technical ability nobody doubts his attitude, desire or hunger.
I don't want him to go but I think he deserves a move and wish him well.

Hes just on the wind up again. Jackson, Solly and now Cousins. Why he's allows to continue to post on here spouting bullshit and going out of his way to wind people up, is beyond me.sirjohnhumphrey said:

Ekstrand hasn't signed for Leeds. A report on Monday says they were put off by his previous injuries. I've heard a rumours Charlton are still interested.1

Staying classy there @colin1961 You're normally just a grade C wind up merchant, but every now & then you slip into a nasty little piece of work.colin1961 said:Cousins don't want to stay and fight considering the club stood by him when he had personal issues then Bye Bye

Looks like developing into the same old same old, a manager having to make do and mend with random players.
I sincerely hope I'm wrong.6 -
Repeating last seasons s**,* already ffs!harveys gardener said:
Barely played in two or more years. Worrying that our trialists are wrong side of 30 and not for the future. Rather have a punt on L2 or non-leaguers in early 20s.cafc_harry said:Kevin Foley on trial, playing today at Bromley.

The majority of trialists are by their nature released players, that may or may not do a job for you. I've no problem with giving them a go, as our squad isn't short of young, inexperienced players from our academyharveys gardener said:

Over reaction surely at this point. The better players were always going to leave as much because they have higher aspirations than because RD may be unwilling to fund a League 1 campaign on a Championship budget. In other words it's not always as simple as resisting a transfer fee.seth plum said:Looks like developing into the same old same old, a manager having to make do and mend with random players.

We have rightly criticised past player recruits as being ill equipped for British football so we can't really object to Slade seemingly looking to experienced League 1 style players to balance the youth we claimed last year was too inexperienced for the Championship.
Injuries are always the unknown factor and as far as I can see no huge surprises there at this time. Arguably to our advantage that Bauer and Kashi not fit enough currently to warrant interest from other teams. We might get to use them after the transfer window closes and before January !
Until the transfer window closes its too early to say we are either doing worse or better than previous years on the player recruitment side.
Lots can still happen for Charlton and most other teams before a ball is kicked in anger. Transfers are a domino effect across the leagues.

I'm waiting for Jesper Blomvquist and Robbie Mustoe to turn up for a trial.2
-
We only lost a friendly ! It's about fitness yea not winning in pre-season, Bury away theryour will be up for it5
-
Uh huh, some good players will leave.
Disappointing to read we lost against Bromley, not going to help the season ticket waverers to move to BUY.
If I were Roland I would have bought 6 or 7 players by now.
(PS I do not have enough money to own several football clubs and have never sought to have that much money, my opinion may be biased)2 -
Not particularly a reaction, but an observation. We are about to go to Austria to get sorted but with a squad of players that is incomplete if we are to believe what we are told.valleynick66 said:

Cebellos I saw Saturday, but not at Bromley but I thought he has a fair old journey to make. I also saw the triallists and the new guys. If Russell is hoping that we have the resources to shape into a good side, with the combination of the mixture we have now, and the uncertainty over players, not to mention the injuries, then good luck, but looking in it doesn't seem very promising.
Yes it is early days, and I agree with Colin, the crucial fixture is against Bury, followed by 45 other crucial fixtures.2 -

With the injuries removing several key players, the squad being taken to Austria looks a bit thin, especially at CB, as shown by the teams put out against Bromley.
I'm sure there will be more signings, but ideally, we'd have brought a couple more in before this overseas trip to help them integrate into the squad.1 -
Indeed at CB, with Bauer, Diarra and Lennon injured we currently have
Johnson (ahem)
Tex (who is probably desperate for a move)
then untried youngsters Konsa and Thomas1 -
It's probably worth noting that for most clubs you have to sell to buy, and if the paper reports are true we're about to have around 5m coming in (albeit it over the next who knows how long because that's how transfers are structured). Because one of our players made a deep run into the Euros (still can't believe the fee for him is 2.5m and Dale Stephens has a 4m bid rejected), things were delayed in addition to overall market delay.killerandflash said:With the injuries removing several key players, the squad being taken to Austria looks a bit thin, especially at CB, as shown by the teams put out against Bromley.

The next week should be pretty key. The window is still open for another six weeks, but once the Cousins and JBG deals are confirmed, we'll see if Slade has some important, quality replacements/additions to the squad lined up, or if we're going to try going the Buxton/Foley/Crofts route for depth.0 -
As always we look stretched and with massive gaps in the team, especially with the injuries and Cousins being forced out. Slade wanted his squad sorted before Welling now it looks far from being ready before the Austrian trip.
Same old same old, we have to trust Slade and hope he is allowed to sort things.2 -
Given our ongoing long-term injuries and Jordan Cousins' imminent departure, we currently have two gaping holes in the squad in two critical areas - at centre back and in central midfield. On top of that, we have ongoing uncertainty about the futures of Pope, Texeira, Watt and Lookman (to name but four).
Hopefully there will be some players coming in once the JBG and Cousins deals go through, but it's a tremendous shame that we couldn't have made more progress prior to the Austrian trip. I expect that Roland believes that he needs all his spare cash to buy off the contracts of the various duds that he and his bloody useless team of laptop scouts have foisted on us over the last two and a half years; that and subsidising the wages of players out on loan like Sarr and Vetokele. I'm afraid that the errors of the past are going to constitute a haemorrhage for some considerable time.
I suppose the financial problems of relegation are compounded by the fact that neither Duchatelet or Meire know the first thing about football and the importance of a good pre-season with the core squad. On the contrary, Duchatelet has, as we know to our cost, always been a firm believer in the 'sticking plaster' approach. Let's hope that, this time, the wiser counsel of Russell Slade will prevail.
I appreciate that the players have only been back a fortnight and that the market is now starting to move more swiftly but the fact of the matter is that our first league game is only three and a half weeks away. I do not want to see us running out at Bury with Roger Johnson as the sole recognised centre half and a central midfield of Ba and Jacko, particularly given the importance of a good start.18 -

We beg to differ, he has very little choice. JBG wants out as does Tex but the top earners are wanted out by the club just as much, Cousins may have stayed and is happy enough to leave (you would have to be a saint or mad not to) but the club are adamant that they want him to go.colin1961 said:

If Brighton turn down £4 mil for Stephens, how is Gudders only worth £2mil and Cousons £1mil?
We are being turned over and the claim that we will not sell our players cheap is shown up for what it is, empty words.8 -
Probably because RD and KM want them off the wage bill.Redrobo said:If Brighton turn down £4 mil for Stephens, how is Gudders only worth £2mil and Cousons £1mil?
