Looks like Ricky might be packing his bags soon?

Its funny, I had a message yesterday from someone who advised that he was on his way to Sheff Utd, I couldn't find any reference to it anywhere so I kept it to myself.0

Should get the wage bill down - just need to get rid of more players.8
-
I could say sell quick and reinvest the money straight away but we all the second part of my proposed statement will not happen7
-
If I was Ricky Holmes I would certainly want to go, and I personally cannot see it not happening. The only hope is that we get a good deal, and the money is reinvested in the squad - which is never going to happen

Cant blame him at all4
-
Well, we have underachieved (again) so can't really blame him. He was obviously told we were going to be challenging for top 2 and we're currently struggling to finish 6th.
Typical Charlton - mid table beckons1 -
Maybe it might be a blessing in disguise if Ricky goes. If I am trying to spin a positive from this situation at least our football and attacking build up play wont be so obvious.7

I like Ricky but he has been rancid this season, heart clearly isnt in it. Think he will be found out pretty quickly in the Champ.11

One of the few players in recent years I've really taken to.
When (seems pointless bothering with the 'if') he goes that will be a resounding admission that the season is over.
Ricky will always get a loud cheer and clap from me if and when he returns as a member of the opposition.7 -

Utterly depressing.
Still asking myself how potential buyers view this having done their DD, especially as RD will likely pocket any transfer fee as he did when he was in the process of selling Standard.
I suppose tsome clauses must be written in to any offers made, regarding January dealings.4 -

Robbos take on it.
Can imagine Ricky will fancy the move but also think he will play to the best he can for Charlton if he doesn't go in this window.. even if it is just to put himself in the shop window for the summer!2 -
As said on Saturday, this has been circling since the end of last week.1
-
How much do you think they would get for him? after all, he is 30.0
-
The ship is sinking.0

Win win for Holmes. Signs new deal in the summer, gets wage increase. Sees that was promised back then re going up, is going south, so wants to miove on this month. Another wage increase and Championship football.
Bravo Ricky!0 -
If we had an ambitious owner we would play hard ball and ask for silly money and reinvest. But we dont, so this will be pocket the cash and the beginning of running us into the ground. Konsa and Aribo next. Manager off. Nobby Vinegar in, back to cheap no marks next season. Unless we are sold - in which case - crap squad and limp towards the summer.0
-
cant blame him - personally i don't think hes unreal, shame he came good too late, if he goes hope he does alright, cant blame him from wanting to leave.2

I dunno, his form has fallen off drastically in the last couple months. He hasn't scored in 10 weeks, since AFCW on 28/10 (correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think he has), and he hasn't scored from open play since Walsall in late September (I think, I'm pretty sure, correct either of those if needed).rananegra said:Well, we have underachieved (again) so can't really blame him.

He's not exactly a passive observer in all of this. Yes injuries around him and the lack of another striker has almost certainly influenced his performances, but they haven't been as good in recent weeks.
That said, I can understand him wanting to go. He's ~30, and this is almost certainly his last big shot at a big pay day and maybe his last chance not only to play in the Championship, but maybe, if things keep going the way they've been going, a genuine shot at the Premier League so late in his career.1 -

I am not saying he should be winning games on his own, but it is not the same Ricky Holmes from last season7 -
Slightly surprised Sheff Utd have come back for him. To me he's lower Championship at best, his crossing, corners and indirect free kicks aren't very good.6
-
It doesn't matter to me what the Blades pay for him. If it was the old half penny that went out in the 1980s or a billion pounds we know as fans the club or Robbo wouldn't see a single half penny of it as Roland would pocket the lot for his own use. The fact is we are more than probably gonna lose a key player in this transfer window.0

thats why i thought he may be preston bound or was a couple of millwall pals that thought he might be going there which i think are better suited.killerandflash said:Slightly surprised Sheff Utd have come back for him.

“But what I won’t do is sell the player just for money. I’m sticking to my guns on that. I’d need a replacement immediately and then we’ll want to use the money to strengthen the squad.
“That’s my whole crux of the conversation and I need to be trusted with that. If I’m not trusted then I’m not the person for the job".
this could get interesting. If Ricky goes and no replacement comes in then I expect Gobbinson to walk. He won't though.5 -
He could really take a running jump if he goes to Smallwall.palarsehater said:

Can’t blame Holmes for wanting to go. He’s 30 now, so realistically has only 5 seasons left. Even with a takeover we are unlikely to get promoted this season, so with us, the earliest he’d get a chance of playing in the Championship is 2019/20 season. I’m sure the fee will be undisclosed and won’t be used to strengthen our squad, so a bit more wrangling will have to be done by our potential buyers.
JUST SELL UP YOU OLD SCROTE

Sheff U was what I heard most likely last week (if he did go), but Preston manager was there on Tuesday0

Can you please explain how Roland would be able to “pocket the lot for his own use”?AddickFC81 said:It doesn't matter to me what the Blades pay for him.
