Absolutely baffling how people have forgotten Harriott's form at the end of last season where he was one of our most committed and dangerous players for struggling in some meaningless, fitness building pre season games.
Would be ridiculous selling him as we are clearly going to get fuck all in return. He is proven at this level but always gets more stick than deserved. Let alone this "attitude problem" which seems to be based on him being a millenial who uses Snapchat and Twitter.
He's leaving by the sounds of it, so he's now a bad player who we didn't really want anyway
Waggy out for 6-8 weeks, my Gills supporting mate is pissed off, it you think we need more players, think again, they are struggling big time. They also signed Lee Martin, who broke his leg and dislocated his ankle, now out for the season....

Not for me, I never took to him as a player, in fact just last week I said I'd have kept Chrissy Onions over him
I think League one is Callum's level. He would have been a useful squad addition but for me that's all.
I'm glad he's going because I think if he's ever going to progress then I believe that it needs to be elsewhere. He proved at Colchester that he can step up to the plate and now he will get a fresh start with a team that actually want him.
If I'm honest I don't think he'll thrive in the championship but I hope I'm wrong and I wish him well.
Harriot will go, I don't think he's Slade's type of player really and doesn't add enough to the team, he wants hardened pro's, but suspect it's not been his ultimate decision, despite all the top 6 budget business it's about KM balancing RD's books. She probably has a wage target to reach.
I think you'll see a few more youngsters go out on loan also.
Harriot has improved his chasing back and covering the full back side of his game a lot in the last couple of seasons.
Charlton lack creativity & width in the team / squad. If Harriot goes then he will need to be replaced. The lack of pace & creativity in the centre of the park & lack of cover in the forward & wide positions is a concern over a long season.
It would be a shame to have Ajose in the team and he is not able to do his main job properly - scoring goals - due to to a lack of service & creativity.
Harriott and Holmes are a great pair of wingers at this level, I'd be gutted if Harriott left.
Will be difficult to replace Harriott's pace, workrate and quality with under a month of the transfer window open.
Just look at Harriott's stats last season at Colchester in League One, now imagine him surrounded by better players. You're maybe looking at 10 goals from him this season, he would be a very good player in League One.
Cally is shit, end of. Don't care if he's homegrown etc. That just means half our fans think he can do no wrong. The amount of wrong decisions he makes every time he is on the pitch is staggering. Sure every now and then he surges past a couple of players, or takes a dig that the keeper is scrambling for, but it's once every 3-4 games, and is nowhere near good enough. I just hope we bring in someone to play on the left to fill the gap left in the squad
So shit he scored lots of goals and made loads of assists in league 1 for a struggling side last season.
So shit a Championship side want to buy him according to rumours.
Such a bad attitude that Slade praised his work ethic and attitude only yesterday.
Yep, i have watched him since he broke through, and have come to that conclusion. I also came to the conclusion that despite him having a decent half a season at Colchester, he'll come back to us after it and still be shit. And he was. Don't care if Reading want him, I doubt they're signing him to be the first name in their teamsheet, and wouldn't be surprised if he's out on loan to our league in January. In fact, if he goes to Reading I'll give a fiver to the upbeats for every league goal he scores, or 20 quid, whichever is more.
Should I write the cheque now?
£10 a goal and £5 an assist seems fair since he is "shit" @sam3110
@Schoham reporting Bergdich fined & contract terminated. Bergdich may not believe his luck. Probably not Charlton either as he has likely breached his contract substantially reducing his pay off (if he is getting one at all).
A 4 year contract punt was ridiculous for someone unproven. Anyone accountable for that negotiation or for bringing the player in ? Thought not.
Newshopper headline says Bergdich is a winger ? More of a left back, sort of left wing back, sub sub Lawrie Wilson type of player with very poor positional sense insufficient to be a left wing back. Often failed to back up Fox / left back position whilst offering no threat going forward.
I only remember him combining well with Sanogo in a couple of games as he was able to play into the target man, who could held the ball up sufficiently for Bergdich to get forward. That was only a couple of games. Another one better suited to a mainland European league. He may do well at Lens but needs the players around him to complement his game. He needs to work on his positional sense & work hard in training to succeed. Bergdich time at Charlton is done. Au revior>
Hopefully that will free up some wages space in the budget to support brining in someone better. Not many left from last season's intake.

That's the Cally that scored shit loads of goals for Colchester in league one last season? Don't be ridiculous , he's not shit and never has been. It looks like he's going listening to that Slade interview but I think he would be an asset in this division .
Can't say I'll miss Harriott if he goes. Incredibly frustrating for me because he's more of an athlete than a footballer. Just doesn't have the intelligence to put the ball into dangerous places frequently enough. Maybe he just needs some great coaching but I'm not convinced he'll ever really hit the heights.

Wagstaff worked exceptionally hard as a Charlton player & a good character to have around despite supporting Leeds (I think) & voted the clubs worst dressed player at the time.
Harriott's a good League One player. He got a lot of assists and a few goals in a struggling side that ended up going down. Stick him in a CAFC team now looking good for League One and he should thrive.
The only couple of flaws (ridiculous to say flaws in what proved to be a then-record-breaking squad) in the 2011/12 team, if you are being really picky, was that when BWP's form dried up we drew a few games we should've been winning and Green/Wagstaff were a bit patchy. For me, especially in the Championship, Wagstaff got too distracted diving around and arguing with the ref.
Not sure why we need Foley when Konza can fill for all the positions he can play and probably do a better job.
He's never played a league game. He probably can do a good job but it's just that sort of "The kids can be the back up" thinking from Roland that got us relegated.

Experience. Won't be first choice but battle hardened. If Solly had to miss a run of games it could really slaughter Konza if he was having a difficult time.
This season Konza should be nurtured not expected to fill in.

Another one off.
Not suited to this league but someone gave him a four year deal! FOUR YEARS.
And if Lens want him why not sell him or do they only want him now he'll be a free agent?
Yet another recruitment disaster but can't see him being the type to interest Slade
;-)
