(was not aware of their limbo status), so, in the opinion of those who have seen them recently, are oliver muldoon and harry osborne worth pursuing hard, and do they want to stay with charlton?0
-
Why put Rejected next to Poyet and Not hamer, who we did offer a contract to0
-
Because Hamer rejected our offer to join Leicester. At this time Poyet is a free agent.paulie8290 said:Why put Rejected next to Poyet and Not hamer, who we did offer a contract to

Thought Kadell Daniel was a left-back?0

At last we now have a normal contract situation where you would see at any normally well-run club with Wilson and Church being the only senior players who's contracts are due to expire in a year's time.
A few youngsters too but that's to be expected. We've kept a good core of the squad from last season we can now build upon and push on for the season and I would expect RD to now offer Wilson a new contract sometime soon maybe this summer? in order to avoid another contract fiasco, he's well worth a new contract so get him signed up please RD!4 -
I have seen Osborne play centre half in the development squad.0

Good points. The mess left by TJ and MS will take time to resolve.MartinhoCAFC said:At last we now have a normal contract situation where you would see at any normally well-run club with Wilson and Church being the only senior players who's contracts are due to expire in a year's time.

Is that the mess where six of the first team came through the academy and are all on long term deals negotiated by Powell and Prothero.
Or do you mean the awful mess where Duchatelet has released more than ten players who were not going to help us push up the table...for free.
Can't be that so you must mean the fact that cost base is so lean that Duchatelet can bring in two players worth €5m with promises of more to come.
Remember @Henry Irving that when you cheer on the team in Liege that most of them were signed by the last owners.
Four players out of 37 have declined terms and moved on. About time you did the same instead of blaming the people who bankrolled the club for three years, lost probably £5m in the process and left us one division higher and owned by a half billionaire who has a track record in running football clubs.
I know it is both popular and populist to attack the owners but the simple fact is that we are in a better place now in 2014 than we were in 2010.

surely, we are in a much better place overall now, but not sure the ins and outs thus far make us better, but optimistic that the mix will be superior by the big kick-off!1
-
Still short on centre backs and wide midfielders. Not 100% about centre mid now Poyet's gone. Cousins, Buyens and Jackson doesn't sound too formidable. Buyens and Cousins are holding midfielders and I wasn't the biggest fan of JJ last year due to how I thgt we sacrificed a lot to accommodate him...0

I heard that Harry Osborne has accepted a 12 month contract, but not seen it on the OS0

Goes without saying that we need to add more quality to this list. Even Skybet has us at 9/4 to be relegated...1

Trying to just go on what is confirmed by the Club. Hope Osbourne and Muldoon do sign up, if they haven't already.ross1 said:I heard that Harry Osborne has accepted a 12 month contract, but not seen it on the OS
Did we ever hear about the schoolboys being kept on/released?

Laurie Wilson should be offered a new contract for definite in the next 6 months . He is one of the top three Charlton players and contributes easily as much as Poyet , Jackson et al. A really important player both on and off the field.6
-
He may not be the best, but he'll run through walls for the team and i think he's part of the Charlton fabric now. As important to our squad this year as Morro and Jacko. His attitude at Blackpool was very heart warming.bromleyjohn said:Laurie Wilson should be offered a new contract for definite in the next 6 months .

As we're dealing with simple facts, do you concede that any of the credit for that belongs to Peter Varney who, apart from his role in bringing in Powell, did all the deals in the summer of 2011 that got us promotion, which by the way were mostly with players who were pros at other clubs, not just extensions for youngsters already at Charlton, and who together provided the core of the team that has kept us up since?seriously_red said:Is that the mess where six of the first team came through the academy and are all on long term deals negotiated by Powell and Prothero.

It's never as simple as good owner, bad owner (John Fryer being an obvious case in point, although at least in that example he - or rather his firm - was the owner), but the reason we are where we are now compared to 2010 is substantially down to the work done before March 2012. From the summer of that year until at least January this, the club was going backwards, as was obvious to almost everyone involved.
Moving on is not the same as rewriting the past to suit yourself, but I suppose to do that effectively you have to understand what happened in the first place. "Mess" is generous.

The club is on a journey and I am using stats around the squad to illustrate we are in a better place. I believe potentially the best since relegation from the premier league. Peter Varney was clearly part of that journey and with the then new owners money he found a manager and a new squad to lift us out of League 1.
Duchatelet is repeating that process now - new coach, new players. The advantages he has over the owners three years back is that he is retaining many more players able to compete at this level and that by taking Liege from 6th to 2nd he has demonstrated he knows how to run a club. And it is his money and not a third party funding the project so the tap won't be switched off half way through.
Running a championship club without liquid funds is no joke - I make it a rule not to comment on staffing matters but I can imagine the stresses within the club.
That period was over 6 months ago and another restructuring is under way. You and I know that the management team is changing and I assume there is a commercial rationale behind other changes.
I'm not sure the club has been going backwards since 2012 as we had a 9th place finish in May 2013 showing what we might achieve in the future. And losses have been reducing each year. But in general I accept that there is a lot to put right. The pitch is done and 90% of the squad are on long term deals.
What I found unbelievable was that the previous owners would risk their whole investment toying with relegation while trying to sell the club. And for the sake of perhaps an additional £1.5M on the playing budget?
At least the league position in November meant that they rapidly adjusted expectations on price for it appears they initially wanted a £10-15M premium plus their loans repaid in full for the work executed by Varney and Powell.
For all of the issues with Slater and Jiminez, they demonstrated that value was added over the three years given that the deal to sell the club was considerably higher than the one in 2010.

No but the club have listed Terell Thomas and Levander Pyke (who did mention getting a pro deal on Twitter) as being in the development squad:Henry Irving said:

That suggests all others in that year group have left, apart from Holmes-Dennis who is already pro.

Yes, we had a 9th place finish, but that covered the fact we didn't invest enough in the playing staff when we went up, then the next season released important players without replacing them, failed to bring in or even entertain the thought of any of Powell's main targets and spent the season in a relegation dogfight. How is that not going backwards?seriously_red said:The club is on a journey and I am using stats around the squad to illustrate we are in a better place.

Centre back is a worry at the moment is Gomez ready to step in if we get a bad injury? How many more games can Morrows legs last - 2016 is a lot of games!0

Personally think as it stands we have a very weak squad. Poyet and Dervite were the 2 stand out players from the few months. Alot of work to be done.5

Stating the obvious perhaps but it doesn't really matter if the squad is stronger or weaker than last season.
The reason for that is that CAFC 14/15 will never play CAFC 13/14.
So perhaps the question should be how strong relatively are we compared to the other 23 sides in the league and how well have they strenghthened their squads?
Blackpool appear very short of players full stop but most of other teams who finished around us and the three promoted sides seem to be spending. Will shall see how well.
Sheff Weds have new rich owners and we all know how massive that club is.
Leeds have a new mad owner and Hudds finished the season very badly.
Bolton have strengthened after a good finish.
The three new sides are unknowns at this level but our own 9th place finish two years ago shows the gap can be bridged.
