Yann Kermorgant - absolute class and in my opinion a CAFC legend. One of my favourite players ever to wear the shirt
Stephens - was indifferent at the time but now a regular starter in the Prem
Morrison - the bloke went from being our first choice CB in a title winning side, easily holding his own in the championship to having his contract paid out and being able to leave on a free
Add to these Gomez a paltry £3.5m when he may go on to nail the England RB spot
It’s a shambles - yet KM is still a CEO at a football club prob being paid £200k a year
We have sold Rocky Holmes during a time of crisis with no apparent leadership or any communication from our owner. It probably wont be the last player to go during a time like this. Everything about the sitiation we find our club in is a mess currently until Duchatalet goes.
Some loved Holmes, some were frustrated by him and some wont forgive him, but lets just make one thing very clear,
ITS NOT LIKE SELLING A HOUSE, ITS NOT LIKE, 'IMAGINE YOUR FRIEND IS SELLING A HOUSE' AND I REFUSE TO 'LETS SAY YOU OWN A BUSINESS MAKING WIDGETS'
There, got that off my chest, enough already of the shit analogies.
Unless my house, friends house or my imaginary widget factory is owned by a completely deluded old tosser who not only massively over values the Club and furthermore is in a financial position to do so.
Cheerio Ricky, thanks for the memories, I wont miss having to shout 'beat the first man' into your ear every corner from now on and at least your dad wont have to call national phone in's to slag off the protesters in Sheffield.

What about a business wanking midgets?
AFKA will be all over this
If he stands in front of the midget it will be all over him
Ricky goes with my best wishes. He’s been a shining light in the gloom. Even recently when he’s been shyte he’s never stopped trying. If I was in his shoes I’d be off too. Good luck to you mate and thanks for the memories.
As for the mess that were left with, I’m rapidly running out of the capacity to give a shit until that sad old git sells up.
Totally agree. The one player it has been worth turning up for. Who would not turn the chance at his age to play in the Championship when a few season ago he was in League 2. He signed in the summer when he could have easily gone. That was loyalty. Those calling him out need to sort themselves out.
We have (or many have) all walked away from muppet bosses/owners (RD and not KR) so why should he be any different. Good luck Ricky.
Loyalty is pushing things. I’ve no problems with him wanting to better himself, but he was hardly a star before he joined us. We signed him. His career moved on a notch, now he’s jumped ship to the next level.
Good luck to him etc, but there do seem to be double standards concerning say Holmes and Parker
There's a big difference between Parker and Holmes leaving. We were fourth in the Premiership when Parker jumped ship to a side where there was every chance he wouldn't play (that's what happened). Holmes has never made big money and only has a few years left at best. He agreed to stay in the Summer (albeit on more money) and given the carnage at the club, who can blame him for deciding to take his big chance? He's probably fed-up trying to pick Magennis out with every single cross.

Still in contract with charlton, in Sheffield night of the steel city derby - the blokes a c, nothing wrong with him leaving but there’s ways of doing things and it’s just mugging the fans off
The Sheffield United fans haven’t taken to him well already as he opted to ‘use’ them in the summer to get a new and improved contract. Like us, proper football fans who do not like being mugged off by players!
Like they wouldn’t do the same. The sooner football fans realise that there is no loyalty in the game and the player will always follow the pound note the better.
Holmes is bit of a lower level journeyman and 30 years old. Of course he wants to test himself at a higher level - any footballer that doesn’t, shouldn’t be playing. And if he can get more money doing it, then good for him.
Take Chris Solly. Does anybody think he would still be here if he could pass a medical at a club in Championship? - of course he wouldn’t. Would Harry Kane leave his beloved Spurs for more money at Real Madrid? Of course he would.
Because of the clusterfuck that Charlton has become, we couldn’t even muster up a case for Holmes to stay. He was no doubt drip fed a load of bullshit in the summer and signed a new deal.
We’ve got nobody running things, the owner wants to sell and doesn’t give a shit about about the club , apart from bleeding as much money as he can from it , the manager can be expected to do his job, if he’s having players sold from under him, he’s got no money to bring players in. He’s having to face the press, and whatever he says is wrong.
Get the f@cking takeover done you Belgian w@nker and let us at least have a bit of hope.
The club is sinking like the Titanic, but worst thing ever is Holmes having the audacity to go in to a Hotel in Sheffield!

The fundamental difference between Holmes and Parker is that Charlton made Parker and were on the up as a club with the opportunity to make real progress by gaining a European place. Yet Parker showed no loyalty to the club that made him.
Holmes was brought in to a stagnant, declining club and has given his all to that cause. He now has the opportunity in his late peak years to play at a higher level with an outside chance of a higher level still next year.
I understand your comment re double standards but disagree.
Seeing as he has just recently signed a new contract extension and the club is about to be sold, you wouldn't think it too difficult for the club to stop him leaving if they wanted to.
I'm not surprised just disappointed. Not in Ricky because I would do exactly the same in his situation. Disappointed that this was predicted and those that were predicted were right. I do expect Konsa to go next and there's a lot who can walk for free in the summer too.
Will this affect the takeover? Possibly. I hope it doesn't but yes it does look like asset stripping.
I think it's a symptom of how much Roland has affected us as fans that we're even having such a long conversation about Holmes leaving. Take out all the nonsense about what a mess we are, and the reality is we're a club in 8th place in League One with a small squad that won't be added to, and we're sliding badly. Sheffield United are 6th in the Championship and playing brilliantly. Wilder, a coach who has previously got the best out of Holmes, will be telling him that he's just the player who can help with the push to get them over the line and into the Prem. Ricky will be being offered more money, in a better team, with the opportunity to even play in the Premier League as soon as next season. Whether we were owned by Roland or some kind of multi-billionaire Powell/Varney/Kinsella/Mendonca consortium, this move would be a no-brainer for Holmes.
Give him a break. It's not like he's heading over to Millwall just to piss us off

Yes but, you could also argue that he is contracted to Charlton. Robinson has been telling all and sundry how ambitious he is and how he stands up to Duchetalet. He could have said he is not letting one of his best players go at a crucial time of the season.
Not mock outrage. You seem to be going around continually baiting me over and over. The others you mention have teased me a bit but that is NOT what you have done or are doing, you are trolling. You are just being an asshole and the sad thing is you can't tell the difference. Some people on this board have been writing me saying that is your MO. I've seen it up close for too long and now I am seriously pushing back. I've had enough of your shit. Fuck off.
Did I abuse you? No.
Did I call you names? No.
What's upset you is that you want everyone to forget just how insistent you were that your valuation was correct and how you were right and everyone else was wrong but lots of people, not just me, aren't doing that.
So when someone very politely points out that you are doing it again you only response is name calling.
And sorry, no,I won't be fucking off much as you'd like me to : -
Damn, I've got to leave for an important game at Gigg Lane now and won't be able to give it my full attention now following developments here, spare a thought Henners and Napa. Can't you just kiss and make up
FTR, I'm not one of the ones who's been badmouthing Henners behind his back. I'll do it to his face. Mind you, in this instance, it was a bit of mild teasing and a massive overreaction IMO

He could have done, but I have no doubt the only reason we held on to Ricky this summer was because he was told we'd be pushing for promotion this season. It's not happening, so he's making the move he could have pushed through in the summer. Honestly, this one doesn't even feel like a Roland special like the Konsa sale. This is just the result of having a decent player in an average team going through a middling season.
I'm quite interested to see (well, hear through rumours after it's announced as undisclosed) what the fee will be without Meire negotiating the price

Now, now, let's not descend to inappropriate epithets. Respectfully it should read: a business wanking people of restricted growth - that even trips off the tongue much more pleasantly doesn't it?

Full circle now and we're unloading players on the cheap.
