    Mitov and Phillips left. Bet all of those who renewed after 3 decent singings feel a bit silly.

    You've done it now. :wink:

    Why not stick KM in goal for the entire pre season. It'll be a laugh, and she'll see what it's like to be a professional footballer which will look good on her CV. And it's not the weirdest idea they've ever come up with.

    Maybe after Duchatelet has arranged the selling of all Charlton best players, he will sod off and sell up.

    (I know, I am just trying to be hopeful after all the family silver has been sold).

    I want to be optimistic and say we have a keeper lined up......we all know that this isn't the case

    Bob Bolder is still at the club. He's only 57.
    I've heard he is off to sheff Utd, they are going to come good this year

    Although gutted to lose Pope, to a lesser degree Hendeson, I think goalkeeper is one of the easier positions to fill. That guy who played for Northern Ireland is on a free as it Joe Lewis from Cardiff. Both more than decent for League One and I'm sure there are plenty of others.

    Lewis signed for Aberdeen.

    Depressing. Henderson is a fan's favourite and Pope is the future. To be potentially losing both (but especially Pope - he'll be an English Premier League keeper for years) is a hammer blow.

    Didn't Joe Lewis sign for Aberdeen?

    Surely we won't sell Pope AND Henderson?

    Still waiting to hear if Watt is staying or not.

    The thing is, we shouldn't be surprised. Complete and utter circus of a club.

    Anybody who signs for us must either be desperate of have had a knock to the head.

    Have some faith guys and girls...let us take a moment to reflect on the wise words issued following relegation.

    <...>Our sole aim is to be fighting for promotion next season and our top priority is to put together a squad that can help Charlton Athletic get back into the Championship.<...>

    For once Colin was right he said a week or so ago that Mitov and Phillips were the answer.

    Is anyone really surprised by this news? They want to run it on the cheap and sell anyone that will make them a few euros. These clowns are not to be trusted and I can't believe how gullible some people have been towards them.

    Not really but perhaps for different reasons.

    I think the plan was to keep Pope but the failure to get the £3m they wanted and expected to get for Cousins has meant a change of plan.

    Just my guess not ITK.

    any offer over a mill for Pope you would be foolish to turn it down ..
    As good as he might turn out to be at this time he not worth that much and you still don't feel secure with him in goal
    Henderson is only an interest ..

    Rather see a new keeper come in who is steady eddie and more important can play 46 league games with Phillips as back up

    As soon as another club becomes interested, the only question left is how much money will Roland get for them.

    If Forest offer 200k for Hendo, I expect it would be rejected but if they came back on the deadline with another 200k offer, do you really think Roland would turn it down?

    Anyone they can get any sort of fee for will be sold.

    Sam Walker from Colchester is what I've heard, But how true that is I don't know.

    These latest developments reflect, once agin, the complete absence of any football ambition. I'm particularly disappointed to lose Popey, a fine young goalie whose wages can hardly have been prohibitive.

    No doubt Lookman will be next out the door, unless there is an earlier offer for Texeira (or, indeed, anyone else). If Duchatelet can raise £10 million or so from player sales, he'll cover off last season's losses and give himself a bit of a buffer for the coming season, given the £4.5 million loss of broadcasting and solidarity payments (partly mitigated by a rapidly reducing wage bill). He'll be congratulating himself and Meire on a job well done and clearly doesn't give two hoots about challenging for promotion to the Championship - notwithstanding the fact that players in League 1 and below rarely command meaningful transfer fees - i.e. the Staprix model cannot succeed (even on it's own terms) in the lower divisions.

    I seem to recall that Duchatelet sold all the best players he could at Standard before he cleared off, although I fear that the misery of his tenure at our club has some way to run.

    Was out with a cruciate ligament injury last season so sounds perfect for us. KM will prob spend three quarters of the pope money on him too, just to compound the clownery.

    It's more like a stag doo, where the bloke getting married hasn't got many friends.
