I was excited by this signing and the highlights reel, but it's been a fucking disaster both on the pitch and financially for us - if the rumours of wages are true. Best to cut out losses now and move on.
Cawley said on one of his podcasts that Kirk never wanted to come to Charlton, never wanted to move down to London. But the contract offer that was put on the table was so good that it was impossible to turn down. It was sold to him that once he was on a contract like that, that was his worth, and he could move back up north eventually.
Sounds like he was our top earner and never even wanted to be here. What a mess.

So, if that's the case, we the fans and the club have been totally mugged off by him. Knob.

Quite the contrary - the club mugged themselves off. We were the ones to make the high offer. If his heart really wasn't in it from the get go we should have realised that and moved on, not gone ahead and paid stupid money to someone who was never likely to be motivated in the first place.
How many kids will run and take the money from the likes of Chelsea and Man City, knowing only a fraction of kids at those sides will make it, rather than maybe going into the local Academy of a League One / League Two club, and standing slightly more of a chance... But earning less.
Its life changing, even if you dont make it in the game, earning 5k / 10k per week as a kid at those clubs
Would be nice if we signed players that actually wanted to be here. Same with managers. I don't blame either of them going for the money. I've already put my CV in for the Birmingham job and I hate that shit hole of a city.
Just had a chat with an acquaintance (Londoner, Fulham and Grimsby watcher, lived 'up here' for 40 years) .. he tells me Grimsby are very interested in signing Kirk, Artell, the Mariners manager knows him from their days together at Crewe so should make a good fist of managing him, IF Kirk signs
My Crewe-supporting colleague told me today that Kirk was the best player on the pitch on Saturday, was causing havoc on the wing (with the full back overlapping) and very nearly scored the winner.

Good on him, needing his running outsourced to another player and nearly scoring the winner in a L2 game.

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't he start on the subs bench?

Good for them & him, cause he was absolute dog crap for us…

Sign him up!
He's a Drama teacher and plays 5-a-side at school. He is the injury equivalent of Chuks but without the skill...I will ask him if he's interested.
