My prediction is that we'll be linked with a couple of players over the next couple of weeks but on Feb 1st KR or RM will release a statement saying "we just couldn't get them over the line but we're comfortable with squad we've got"6 -
Good luck to him. Infuriating at times when he ran down blind alleys or didn’t release the ball quick enough for that killer pass but he didn’t score many tap ins.0

I read (i think on here) that he fell out with some at charlton because he was openly boasting about how much he is paidbristoladdick said:

Ricky Holmes wanting to leave I can understand. He has a chance to play at a higher level for a club with a chance of promotion & away from an owner lacking ambition. He was a good player for Charlton, had a good engine on him and scored some great goals. I do not begrudge him a move and chance to play at a high level. I wish him luck. Not a perfect player by any stretch and Charlton will survive without him.
It is BS though that Duchatelet is selling without backing Robinson to get Carruthers in return. £350,000 is a drop in the ocean of debt. It fits into Duchatelet's general way of doing things throughout his time at Charlton. This is to sell the better players and replace them with cheaper / free / not so good ones. This is why Charlton are in League One & good / talented players want to move on to further their careers.0 -
Isn't the key feature not the debt, but servicing the 3% interest on the debt? In which case £400,000 would have significance.0

We really are a joyless club.7

There is so much testosterone fuelled anger (at Ricky, a bloke trying to do the best by his career) in the CAFC facebook group. Quite sad really.2

Retrograde step as Holmes was one of (or the only one of) our squad who acted as a game changer. Still - from his point of view, given his age, it makes some sense. Reasonable chance he might make the Premiership next season if Sheffield United fire on all cylinders.
But for us? Hard to see the season now in a positive light. Promotion prospects probably gone. Drifting along until a take over happens/if it happens.
And £400k really doesn't seem enough.0 -
Refer to to my previous post on this thread. Not it ain't enough. But it does not matter what Sheffield are paying because it's going into Roland's coffers anyways.simonmatthews said:Retrograde step as Holmes was one of (or the only one of) our squad who acted as a game changer.

I'm weirdly not that bothered. We're in the real low ebbs of being involved in football as a club now and really I'm just waiting for it to blow over. Ricky Holmes is 30. In the years - and it will be years - it will take to pull the club out of the depths Roland has led it into Ricky wouldn't be a part of the team we might eventually one day be able to be proud of. Roland's still not gone now, he might still not go. He might still be around for years, and we can't start rebuilding until he's fully out. I think I've just sunk to a point where the whole thing is so depressing I can't even be too upset about stuff like this23

Basically this. The whole place needs a clear out and a fresh start.Garrymanilow said:I'm weirdly not that bothered.

The only two people I'd definitely keep in the building are Chris Solly and Johnnie Jackson. The rest have some degree of attachment to the regime (some more than others).4 -
I'd like to think it's more telling that he's likely to sell shortly.Missed It said:Says it all really. Top six and the owner sells our best attacking player. Even when there's a chance of promotion he's not interested.

'Undisclosed'. So, how much is going to come off our club's sale price after this 'flash sale' Roland?0

I wish Ricky all the best & I think we would all do the same knowing that we're not going to get promoted this season & this club is going backwards not forwards.
He is a decent player & worth £750k rather than the other fees being reported on here. Scored some cracking goals & was one of the best players to watch. However, not much of a team player & his set pieces this season have been dreadful as has his crossing.
Can't see us bringing in anyone decent & still think we will finish around 8th - 10th.0 -
My pager was playing up so I had to wait to get a fax about Holmes holding up his Teletext Holidays shirt.7

Holmes going is hopefully going to pale into irrelevance with any news of a takeover.
I just about think we're too competent to go down now, even sans Rickaaaaaaay, so I'm happy to wait for a fresh approach from new ownership very soon, please.0 -

Decent player but if he didn't leave now it would've been in the summer after another disappointing season. It's sad that these players want to leave, but can you blame them? There is no ambition here and hasn't been since Duchatelet took over. Whilst there is a take-over mooted, who knows when that's going to happen and without signings to bolster the squad, we aren't likely to get the promotion that Holmes and the other players want.
Good luck to him.1 -

The Alexi Sanchez, of league one has gone, we really are turning into the league one version of Arsenal.0

The deal was supposed to have been completed yesterday, but United had run out of carbon paper for the contract and the local stationary suppliers were shut for the weekend.hawksmoor said:My pager was playing up so I had to wait to get a fax about Holmes holding up his Teletext Holidays shirt.
