I find the disrespect shown to Watson staggering. This is a guy who has spent best part of 10 years in the Premier League, knows how to play the big game, scoring the winner in the Cup Final, and surely would be a great role model for the young team we're looking to build. Yes, he and Pratley together last season brings back horrific memories of overly defensive home games that ultimately cost us a play off place, but we need some experience in the squad, and the guys we want to buy won't have it. Would expect Nige to be leveraging his, Gunter's and Pearce's experience as players to see games out, whilst we build an attacking side that takes games to teams.
Couldn't care less about his credentials. He was fucking toilet for us. On a big wage, when we were under the cap, and spent half his appearances looking like he couldn't be arsed. Would have taken another year of Pratley over him any day.
Gunter is shit, Watson is shit. We need experience but lets get it from some pros who actually play like they give a shit.

Don't beat about the bush, tell us what you really think of those players.
As for worrying about disrespect. Do me a favour, Christ. 😂
Not really sure what this means...
But describing those guys as 'shit' and 'fucking toilet' clearly highlights your thorough understanding of the intricacies of the game. I stand corrected.
Both Watson’s and Gunters careers are on the way down. They were less than average this season, so they won’t improve next. We need players in that are on the way up.
Any IKO info on Stockley? Seems to have gone quiet
The last I heard was that Stockley is very keen on coming, and personal terms wouldn’t be an issue. PNE are keen to recoup as much of the 750k they paid as possible. We obviously don’t want to over pay for a player heading into the last year of his contract. Deal was close but Hull then came sniffing, PNE probably want a bidding war.

I couldn't agree more . Gunter and Watson are two of the worst signings we have made in recent times and we have made a few . TS please get rid .
Watson is ok but not worth the relatively large salary he is rumoured to be on.
Gunter on the other hand is dreadful, lost count of how many goals he cost us, would love us to move him on but no way will any team take him off our hands after his season.

Fairly confident we will get him though.
Fuck off Hull, how many lumps up front do they want? Already got Eaves and Magennis.

Hopefully Stockley chooses us on the basis he knows the setup here, and knows the Manager will utilise him.
Big risk of him going to Hull and it not working, then goes on loan to another club and it not work out there either - All of a sudden becomes a little bit of a slippery slope with his career

Respect is earned, and Watson has done nothing in a Charlton shirt to earn my respect. If you think he and Gunter have played consistently well enough to earn a new deal, then I'd question whether you'd watched us this season.
As others have said on this forum, and even on this thread, easily our most disappointing signings of the season. And, given the circumstances with the cap, I'd argue 2 of our worst in recent years.
Interesting on Charlton TV tonight, as I'm sure I hear Thomas say that we're trying to sign TWO of the loan players on permanent deals. Stockley is obviously one of them, but who would the other one be?

Famewo I hope, but I'd welcome Maatsen back too
Would take either of those. But can't imagine Chelsea letting Maatsen go. Maybe Norwich don't think Famewo is Premier League level.
Chris Gunter got shifted out of position a lot following a strong start at RB. Agree he never really recovered his best form. Watson was the opposite, thought his early performances and booking-a-game showings were pretty poor, but not sure about the 'legs have gone' argument, think he could still be a key influencer in a stable team if he's not covering a completely makeshift defence. And don't think either of them can be accused of not putting a shift in, despite individual errors. Would I extend both their contracts if they were out? Probably not, but they're Charlton players whose experience we can still leverage next year... reckon they'll get my support if they play next season.

Has to be Famewo, can you really see Chelsea selling Maatsen, too many zero's on the price

Chelsea have Maatsen tied down for a year longer than Norwich do with Famewo as well

I have zero belief it will be Maatsen, I can see Famewo happening. His injury history and his inconsistency must give Naaridge doubts over his future at PL level.
I think if we manage to sign Famewo that could be our best bit of business. I know alot on here dont rate him but I think he will go up to premiership standard given time. Bloke is an athlete and super calm

Unless we have someone on the cusp playing for the U23s on a regular basis.
Having just four CBs of Inniss | Famewo | Pearce | one other, would worry me if the first two got into trouble again
Not seen enough of Mingi to say whether he could be that man, but I believe he's the closest in the U23s.
