As he activated his contract extension did we get a fee?0

Good luck also, did nowt wrong in the way he handled his exit.0

seemed like the epitome of the honest, straightforward (footie) tradesman, i really liked him (from afar).1

Good pro. Good luck Richard.2

If Konchesky can play at a younger age, Joe Gomez has no concerns!0
-
Harry Osborne has been signed for a year which is also part of the equation.0

Yeah, I heard that Peeters turned down the chance to sign Vincent Kompany. "No I'd prefer Lennon" he said.CharltonByBlood said:i Heard we are looking for a CB but Morrison & Lennon is what Bob Peeters would prefer

Good luck Richard, good player.0

Good move for him if his family are still up that way. Pretty steady for us last season, but ultimately, no big loss.1

I always thought there was something very 'sunday league' about the way he looked in our kit.0

100% agree we need more to cover for all the games (including cup runs) and to add quality. I think the squad is 80% there now.Bryan_Kynsie said:
Hmmm. First we need to see a new signing if there is one and he has to be at least as good as Dervite was becoming. Last season everyone was fretting over a lack of strikers but the lack of defensive cover is potentially even more alarming.seriously_red said:So Morrison and a new signing (to replace Dervite) as first choice pairing. Let's see who arrives. Then we have Lennon and Gomez learning their trade - all good.
Thanks Richard Wood. We all move on
The business model is to play Lennon while Gomez develops but if he's up to it and I do hope so because I like him, that doesn't allow for injuries, suspensions, illness, loss of form, competition for places, loss of confidence or, perish the thought, someone from Chelsea ringing him up and saying "we like the cut of your jib, young man".
So I wouldn't go as far as saying "all good" but then it's only just the start of pre-season training and new wood could be on it's way. We have effectively gone from Morro Wood Dervite Cort and Lennon to Morro Lennon and (just?) one vacancy.
Until Peeters' press conference I thought it would be Pope in goal first choice with Morrison / Wood.
They now say they are looking for c.4 players in goal, defence and centre mid.
As long as they land the right calibre of player with plenty of time to gel then we have the makings of a decent squad and perhaps even better in 2015-16.
Many will still be unsure until they see a game or three but a quality team on a quality pitch should help win fans over.3 -
I liked him, a good no-nonsense defender. However, he wasn't the best on the ball and would like us to get a more "cultured" presence next to Morro....assuming Morro will be in Bob's team, of course.1

So we just managed to stay up & have since lost the following players, who featured often in the 1st team. :-
Leon Cort - Released
Dorian Dervite - Offered new contract - Signed for Bolton Wanderers on three year deal
Cedric Evina - Released
Danny Green - Released - Signed three year contract with MK Dons
Ben Hamer - Offered new contract - Signed for Leicester City on a three year deal
Diego Poyet - Offered new contract - Rejected
Bradley Pritchard - Released
Richard Wood - Offered new contract - Signed for Rotherham .
We have got in Vetokele, Buyens, Ansah and Kumberbatch.
If you're right and the squad is 80% there, I really hope that the 20% coming in are seriously good.11 -
On numbers I think we will run with a squad of 26 or 27 - we have 20+ signed up so four or five to go. We didn't need 37 players on the books and the 11 released in May helped our club in the past but are not the right ones for the future challenge - you mention some above.Covered End said:So we just managed to stay up & have since lost the following players, who featured often in the 1st team. :-

On quality they've signed players way higher than I expected and I have raised my expectations for the final four signings - let's see what happens by end July.
Most importantly, if you look at the core talent of the squad, say the best 18 then I sense a significant improvement for the following reasons:
1) The six academy players are all a year older but still young - Solly, Fox, Wilson, Harriott and Cousins were a core part of the first XI
2) the value of new signings is much higher than January and they replace Ajdarevic, Poyet and Sordell (perhaps Ajdarevic comes back?)
3) the players signed by Slater and Jiminez who have agreed extensions are good solid Charlton - Morrison, Wiggins, Jackson
4) upfront hopefully Reza improves - I don't see Church making it into the top 18 player list with Vetokele - either Piotr is good enough or they buy / borrow another player
5) The club owner and management are much more familiar with the Championship - they know what it takes from the final signings to push on. Duchatelet has so far spent £14M on buying the club, a few million on 6 months losses and now hard cash on Vetokele so perhaps he is £20m out of pocket to date. There won't be any £5m signings but neither do I expect him to lock away the chequebook!
I'm not ITK and have no idea who else they are trying to bring in but they won't be cheap squad fillers when we have so many more academy players coming through - there has been a clear statement about replacing Hamer and Dervite.
I can wait another month but the whole thing looks and feels better than 12 months ago when we heard Fuller was going and there were no new signings.9 -
Play gomez the only reason poyet slipped through is there was no foresight or cash to play him young2
-
sorry, not bad, but not good enough for Charlton. Deffo div one player. Had some good games, but had some poor games. He was a cheap option when we got him0

Good luck, Woody. Hope it goes well at Rotherham. Every time I saw you play, you reminded me of Lawrie Madden - all left foot0

I thought RD had to pay £18m for us as we were not relegated. Also everyone talks about Gomez playing but I am not aware he has signed a new contract yet.0

I thought the deal was €13M or £10M + 4M if we stayed up. So £14M but only when they release a number or the accounts will it be possible to see.ross1 said:I thought RD had to pay £18m for us as we were not relegated.

His wife and kids are still in South Yorkshire. He wanted a move back there. Good luck Richard.1

Decent back up player for us. Will be forgotten very quickly but wish him well.1

Will accounts actually be released?seriously_red said:

Always gave 100% and was pretty decent cover. But in years to come, definitely one of those on the 'players you forgot played for Charlton' threads.0

Wood was not a strong defender at all. He was ok but nothing more. League one player really..
I really do worry about old Katrien and these contract negotiations0 -
On the limited I saw of
BaseyLennon , I would be concerned if he was considered first team material for us , back up for the back up I'd accept , think he needs game time on loan elsewhere0 -
I thought it was Fox that played a bit like Basey? I remember Powell saying Lennon had pace...oohaahmortimer said:On the limited I saw of

Yes they will, for the UK-incorporated business anyway. But I don't know whether that will help. Presumably the transaction(s) in respect of the acquisition of the club were either between the old owners' offshore business and either Staprix or RD personally. If in Staprix's books then I guess we find out in due course, if anyone knows how to access Belgium's public records but if it was RD's personal money and he then "gifted" the club to Staprix, maybe not. Presumably whatever capital value Staprix chooses to put on the club may be different from the actual purchase price anyway?Kap10 said:
