He could have signed some sort of contract-------HE COULD HAVE.
Parker signed a 4 year contact and left with the ink still dry.
Jenkinson made sure CAFC got something out of his dream move to the Goonershit.
Clauses can be put into contracts that allow players to leave when transfer fee levels have been reached or a Prem team comes calling.
DP is looking after himself and as such i totaly understand the young mans point but FFS its all about CAFC for me and it looks at the moment he dosnt give a shit about the years we have put into his development.
Gutted that he is going . We would all like one more season. Im sure he will go onto very big things but we have to put this down to Tony the Twat and the Northern Monkey and we move on.
Im sure there is a cleaner at Standard Leige who can pull on a kit and produce a wikip entry to say he once played for a team in Andorra who will fill in.
Am I the only one that giggles a little bit when someone writes DP?
my missus says she loves a good DP, I told her i did as well "Going to be world class" i said, I did think it was odd she then introduced me to some chap called Jamal.
Unfortunately I can already see that there will be some supporters who will be bitter towards him if he does leave, just because he used Twitter in a way that they didn't approve.
Same sort of weirdos who assume Ben Hamer is "full of himself" just because he uses Twitter and is more stylish than the majority of the rest of us.
I think he would have signed for Chris Powell. I think he may have signed for Jose Riga. I think he won't ever sign for Duchatalet's Bob Peeters.
I think that he would have been more likely to sign on for Powell or Riga , but I still feel that whatever and whoever was at Charlton , Diego would always have been on his way.
In terms of his contract . Did he receive a massive pay increase on making his first team debut ?
Some claim this was the reason Powell never played him before the Oxford Cup game , whilst at the same time Cousins became a regular . Is his existing contract significantly better than his contemporaries ?
Gus was always keen that he completed his formal education as a back up plan to football . We were a good local club which enabled him to do this . Would he ever have signed a long term contract with us ? Personally I have my doubts.
Diego needs/needed security and his pathway paved, under an untried manager and a team that no-one knows what it looks like, progressing isn't easy. We could have got another year out of him under Powell/Riga and not because they are better managers but they are what he knows and loves, Powell introduced him to Professional football and trusted him and Riga played a style he likes and also trusted him. Think we've played this totally wrong, RD's spreadsheet doesn't factor in stuff like this, and it never can
Hilarious - four months ago, people were saying that Riga was nothing more than an RD-stooge and that everyone from Poyet to the tea lady would simply down tools and walk out because he had arrived!!!
I hope im wrong & he still signs but i doubt Diego would have signed a deal for us whatever happened after the debut season he has just had, he has been around the mercenary/wealthy side of football for his entire life thanks to his dad.
Im sure he will claim in an interview this summer that he would have stayed for Riga/Powell though. ;-)
Im not trying to be bitter, just my personal view.

Was Gus Poyet a mercenary as a player? I wouldn't have said so.
He is not bigger than us ... he needs to remember that
Has he ever said or even hinted that he thinks that?
His actions on twitter are poor
thanking fans for congratulating him on good performances and player of the year award, favouriting those that are telling him to stay. Yeah, really poor, the guy's basically a junior version of joey barton.

Were there? Must have missed that.
I do remember some people saying Riga was going to replace Hart as Academy Director when PH went to Man City. FACT. Whatever happened to those people?

Well not in an extreme way but he certainly joined Chelsea because they paid more money this his previous club & i would say the whole Brighton manager situation was very mercenary.
So no, i was not saying Gus was worse then any other footballer in the world, just that Diego has spent his entire life around that side of the game, so i doubt after becoming such hot property, he would have signed up with us longer term.
I really hope i owe him an apology though & he signs a new deal, as im not looking to twist an agenda, just my personal thoughts on the matter.
Scott Parker signing for Chelsea sent his career into a well rewarded cul-de-sac, which ultimately did his career no good. I trust Diego Poyet would not make the same mistake.
It's all about the next stage in his development. Would be in Chelsea's or whoevers development squad but has already proved he can cut it at Championship level and IMHO therefore needs championship games. Loan back to us would be least disruptive to his life and provide an environment that needs little or no adjustment. I think he was always departing and a loan back would be the best we can hope for.

no, sorry, wrong joke
Old dp or double penetration as he is lovingly known
Has had his career planned out from young and we were the starting point
Thanks Dp your performances although not single handedly helped us stay up
Those posting on here getting wound up by twitter comments relax it was always going to end this way

It's people adding up 2+2 and making it total 67, that's the problem, unless you can prove otherwise.
