Keeping Tex is bad news. I thought he was okay last year but nothing to amaze anyone. Sticking to Slade's policy as well... Tex made it very clear that he wants to leave so I have no idea why people are happy about keeping him. IF we could have offloaded him and Ba I think we would of been talking about some exciting new signings to really boost our promotions prospects. Instead, we are left with two foreigners who got us in this mess in the first place.
I must have missed it when Tex made it very clear he wanted to leave the club, did he ask for a transfer? is he on the transfer list?. I also think Charlton were in a big mess before Tex arrived last season, I thought we looked better at the back after he arrived. The one player I would like to see go and Covered End put it much better than me, Release Roger
Arsene Wenger blocked a loan move from Leeds for striker Yaya Sanogo, according to The Sun.
Garry Monk was reportedly keen on taking the 23-year-old to Elland Road for the season but Wenger told the Championship club he wants to keep him at the Emirates.
I'm telling you, no one will take on Teixeira's wages.
He'll stay.
If he stays i do hope we actually play him. Considering we have 4 top quality CB's in Bauer Pearce Konsa and Tex it may be worth RS trying out a 532 formation with wingbacks to utilise at least 3 of these per game?
Agree with this. That's why i was so disappointed with The THD sale, he would have been idea for the left wing back role.
I imagine Slade and Tex will have sat down and discussed his future.
The only way Tex will get a move in January (unless we pay him off which would be very expensive, and a hard decision to make for someone who was a success on the pitch) will be if he's playing regularly and well, so there is an incentive to put him in the team, and him to perform to his maximum.
On the other hand, that would be really harsh on the other CBs, if they feel Tex is only being played as a shop window for him.

Yeah, fuck those foreigners eh?
Stating a fact.
Yes in your head. Tex was a plus last season.
So, to confirm then.... you want a player to start games that doesn't care about the club whatsoever and made it clear he wants to leave? All this CARD and issues with the club is confusing.

Did Tex make it clear? Post a link please?
Actually, at the meet the players event after the pre)season friendly, Jorge gave me the impression he was happy to stay and fight for his place.
If he was do keen to leave, he didn't show it against Welling or Orient (where he went off injured).
And if he was so keen to leave, why did RS take him on the Austrian trip?

A little bit odd that we signed Pearce, if Slade was expecting Tex (and Bauer?) to stay though.
As it happened Tex and Lennon picked up injuries, and Roger effed off to the crowd, but without this we would have started the season with Tex and Lennon as our CBs!

I think the nature of the board and owner in regards to smoke screens, being economical with the truth as well as outright lies make it hard to know exactly what's going on!
Russell Slade doesn't want Ba and Texeira here, so I can't see them playing much.
Why would he not want Tex here? He's easily our best CB.
wouldn't be at all surprised if in the next few days both had their contracts terminated with a nice settlement allowing them to go elsewhere on another decent contract and allow Roly to save money on unwanted salaries.
Some logic there. You would have been better selling the player at a reduced cost enabling the buying club to make up the saving on his wages.
Why give away a player that has a sell on value, and who knows if a player picks up an injury, he could come in over the coming weeks have a great 3 months and get a move in January.
Understand what you are saying but logic goes out of the window when you are dealing with KM and RD and they have history of doing this already on numerous occasions. Anyway, as Henry Irving explained this can't now happen anyway.
just seen the Diarra news so maybe Tex and Ba may yet follow suit.
definitely won't happen with Tex, possibly Ba though. Be absolutely crazy if we do it with Ba, not everyones cup of tea but surely will get some game time given how light we are in CM.
I feel like the Lookman saga last night diverted from the fact that I think we've had a rather disappointing window in some areas. I'd argue our best signings are keeping Lookman, Tex, and Bauer.
Yes, we look very strong in defense but look at that midfield. Depending on how Wolf City gets on, there is just no one who can create in the center of the park. It makes me wonder how much Crofts and Foley are on, given that Slade had to fight for them. I don't know what is going to happen when we come up against packed defenses who don't give us time and space in the final third--actually we've already seen it at Bury and first half against Northampton.
It's now up to Slade to coach these players and get the most out of them. He must bring Ba and Tex back in. He's a coach, they're his players, it's his job to coach them. Getting something out of them would be a real coup. That said, his coaching and tactical abilities (particularly in a possession and attacking sense) are the part of Slade that most concern me.

I think Ba would be useful in the shit league we find ourselves in.
We have so many homesick players don't we. I would think Diarra has spent most of his career away from the bosom of his nearest and dearest. Sounds like a lot of old flannel to me to placate the plebs in this cost cutting exercise.

From what I remember, Tex has been an complete diplomat whenever asked about his future.
Countless times at the end of last season he was asked about his future at the club and continued to say that he'd sit down with his Agent and would see what happened over the summer... Well he's seen what has happened over the summer, he's remaining at the Valley so if he plays then I fully expect him to play to the best of his ability (and hopefully get a few more last minute winners).
He also only missed two pre-season fixtures (against Ipswich and RKC)...
Doesnt seem the attitude from Slade if he doesnt want him here?

agree
Would Slade have rather spent Tex's wages on two or three other players? I'd say yes but that's not the same as not rating him as a player.

Agreed as two / three players add much more Squad depth than just one player
Hell I reckon we'd have kept Ceballos had he proven that he could last in League One Football yet as Slade explained he went because Slade didnt think he was good enough for the English game
Whats rather funny is the fact that after Tareiq left we've all been of the opinion that players are going because Slade only wants players at Charlton who want to be here, yet if you look at Slade's interviews after each players has gone, its only Cousins | Gudmundsson | Holmes-Dennis who have actually announced that wish to leave

Massive loss. Was my favourite player at the club
Crofts or Diarra, Crofts or Diarra...
Hmmmm.

Brighton then? Perhaps the Gills? Southend even?
