    A few people were saying CBT looked disinterested for the past few games and it turned out he was playing with a quad injury
  • Alex Hartridge - left sided CB at ECFC, contract expires soon and suggestion he wants to move on. He’s decent.

    Sounds like we are back in for Ladapo on loan from Ipswich, would imagine that means Tedic loan will be terminated.
    Or Leaburn is about to be sold.
    To be honest I'd be happy if we get a decent fee and reinvest it. He doesn't look bothered about playing for us anymore. 
    He's not playing well, he could be frustrated or might even be playing with an injury. Or just in a bad run of form as happens with young players. I hope of all the players we'd give the benefit of the doubt to, it would be a Leaburn. 
    He apparently wanted to leave for Germany in the summer. Also heard he's had a few discussions with upper championship/premier League clubs so IMO he won't be here long. Why not take the money if we can reinvest?

    I've got no problem with selling him at the right price, can't see him being here next season anyway. But that's different from questioning his attitude. 

    Side note, not sure how he's having discussions with other clubs unless bids have been accepted.

    Remember players can talk to clubs in the last 6 months of their contract.

    Because it happens all the time. It might not strictly be legal but in this modern age when player power is stronger than ever no club is going to bid for a player without knowing they want to come

    Miles has alot of potential for sure but at the moment thats all it is, potential, if we can get a decent fee for him with a sell on clause I would take it. There have been countless young players that have bags of potential that is never realised. Take the money now and use it to build the squad

    Or without knowing what wages etc they’d want. It’s naive to think it doesn’t happen.

    Thing is, that was posted on here when we sold Konsa for £1M, Pope for £1M, KAG for £1.5M, Gomez for £3.5M, Dijksteel for nothing... But the fact is that every time we move our best players on, we get worse. Hence what we are mid table L1. 

    Sure they left under different ownership but Methven is clear in saying he wants us to be sustainable so I hear the same messaging and don't expect any different outcome.

    Either way, I hope we've tried to improve his contract and thus extend it. That's how you get good fees.

    How has “interest from Germany” in the summer all of a suddenly turned into “he wanted to go to Germany” three months later?

    Is it because he’s stopped scoring so many goals?

    Stunned that a young attacking player is going through a dry spell in their second season of senior football…
    When he finds form and starts banging them in again, I'm gonna be digging out these people who have questioned his attitude

    Don't f### with the Leaburns, they're Charlton family

    Crazy. It's not just potential, last season he was hugely influencing games. He's not on his best form right now, maybe the formation doesn't quite suit him, but he's easily worthy of being a lock for our starting 11 when Chuks isn't fit, and arguably even when he is.

    Plus I think Tracey and Carl have raised their son to be better than sulking on the pitch. Just because he doesn't celebrate enthusiastically after scoring against Cray Valley doesn't mean he's pissed off with Charlton or not trying.
  • Corey Blackett (to use the official Curbs name for him)  is one of our most skillful players and can be really outstanding when the ball is at his feet but when it isn't (which due to the nature of the game, is most of the time)  he contributes nothing. Even his running off the ball is terrible.

    When he does leave in January it might make us a better team and certainly tougher to beat.

    He's a bit out of form (which does happen to every player sometimes), the formation isn't one that's best suited and as a striker he is probably a bit frustrated to see May going on a red hot streak just as he is struggling himself - good for the team yes but probably a bit of a blow on a personal level. And all of this when he is just 19 and dealing with the "normal" 19 year-old crap.

    And no doubt if there HAS been talks of a move or his agent has had contacts then he's going to be thinking about that too.

    I'm sure his parents are doing and have done a fantastic job of preparing and looking after him but frankly if he IS a bit moody at the moment then honestly who can blame him?

    Appleton has nailed it here. In fact, it does summarise our recent transfer approach and fans' excitement for some signings that have failed to work out.

    “You have got to be careful. You tend to take players – I’ve done it in the past – thinking you are going to get the player that they were or potentially were the previous season.

    “They come in, get injured and then you are back to square one.

    Yes you are right ofcourse but we also have to balance where we are as a team with the potential of the players. Would any of those players be the players they are today or earning the £ they are earning if they had stayed with us ? Unfortunately unless we climb the ladder players will see us as an opportunity to develop and get a good move for big money ( AKA Burstow ) and Im not sure we can blame them. We just need to be making sure we get the max revenue for them and hopefully this time use it to build and climb

    Well that's just bollocks. Any such player wouldn't be out of contract on 1st February unless they had agreed to terminate it which is unlikely if they have been playing regularly.

    Or if they're on a short term deal with a club that runs out in January, that's becoming more and more common

    "Yes"

    "How did he say it, specifically?"

    "That's how he said it, specifically?"

    My source "very close" to Miles Leaburn told me a while back that there was interest from Germany in the summer but it wasn't reciprocated.

    And £3m was described using a crude plural slang term for testicles which I can't repeat on a family forum like CL.
