Russell Slade doesn't want Ba and Texeira here, so I can't see them playing much.

Why would he not want Tex here? He's easily our best CB.

wouldn't be at all surprised if in the next few days both had their contracts terminated with a nice settlement allowing them to go elsewhere on another decent contract and allow Roly to save money on unwanted salaries.

Some logic there. You would have been better selling the player at a reduced cost enabling the buying club to make up the saving on his wages.

Why give away a player that has a sell on value, and who knows if a player picks up an injury, he could come in over the coming weeks have a great 3 months and get a move in January.

I agree but it depends on the player and the wages.

Tex might attract interest but he is now 30 and had 4 years left on his deal. He has little incentive to take a pay cut to go elsewhere. Say he's on £10k pw that is £2m over the lifetime of the deal.

Charlton aren't likely to offer him that as a pay off but few other clubs abroad will offer his similar and clearly no one in the Championship did.

So he stays. We already have four players out on loan where we are fairly certain to be subsidising their wages. But you are right. If he does well we might be able to sell or loan him out in January or next summer. But he'll be 31 by then.

Ba, I was told, the club would have been happy to terminate his deal but maybe Ba wasn't and again why should he make himself unemployed with no offer of another contract on the table. He doesn't have a good track record in football and he'd most likely have to take a big pay cut and move to another country. All a risk for him.

And as I said before if we cancel their contract now they can't sign for another club in any case until January so they will stay put

This isn't unique to us. Other clubs have similar situations especially when they have had changes in management and each new boss wants their own types of players.

It's just that we've had a lot of changes and so have Watt, Igor, Cebellos, Sarr, Ba and Tex. Previously we had Reza, Polish Pete and Tucedean.

I think with Slade having more control we'll get less of this going forward but for now we are left with the consequences of previous mistakes.

Keeping Tex is bad news. I thought he was okay last year but nothing to amaze anyone. Sticking to Slade's policy as well... Tex made it very clear that he wants to leave so I have no idea why people are happy about keeping him. IF we could have offloaded him and Ba I think we would of been talking about some exciting new signings to really boost our promotions prospects. Instead, we are left with two foreigners who got us in this mess in the first place.

I must have missed it when Tex made it very clear he wanted to leave the club, did he ask for a transfer? is he on the transfer list?.
I also think Charlton were in a big mess before Tex arrived last season, I thought we looked better at the back after he arrived.
The one player I would like to see go and Covered End put it much better than me, Release Roger

I'm telling you, no one will take on Teixeira's wages.

He'll stay.

If he stays i do hope we actually play him. Considering we have 4 top quality CB's in Bauer Pearce Konsa and Tex it may be worth RS trying out a 532 formation with wingbacks to utilise at least 3 of these per game?

Agree with this.
That's why i was so disappointed with The THD sale,
he would have been idea for the left wing back role.

I imagine Slade and Tex will have sat down and discussed his future.

The only way Tex will get a move in January (unless we pay him off which would be very expensive, and a hard decision to make for someone who was a success on the pitch) will be if he's playing regularly and well, so there is an incentive to put him in the team, and him to perform to his maximum.

On the other hand, that would be really harsh on the other CBs, if they feel Tex is only being played as a shop window for him.

Yeah, fuck those foreigners eh?

Stating a fact.

Yes in your head. Tex was a plus last season.

So, to confirm then.... you want a player to start games that doesn't care about the club whatsoever and made it clear he wants to leave? All this CARD and issues with the club is confusing.

Did Tex make it clear? Post a link please?

Actually, at the meet the players event after the pre)season friendly, Jorge gave me the impression he was happy to stay and fight for his place.

If he was do keen to leave, he didn't show it against Welling or Orient (where he went off injured).

And if he was so keen to leave, why did RS take him on the Austrian trip?

I think the nature of the board and owner in regards to smoke screens, being economical with the truth as well as outright lies make it hard to know exactly what's going on!

Understand what you are saying but logic goes out of the window when you are dealing with KM and RD and they have history of doing this already on numerous occasions. Anyway, as Henry Irving explained this can't now happen anyway.

Yeah I'm also gutted. I was looking forward to seeing one last year from him.

Crofts or Diarra, Crofts or Diarra...

Hmmmm.

just seen the Diarra news so maybe Tex and Ba may yet follow suit.

Tex wont leave as he wont get the wage we are paying him anywhere else.

Diarra

Massive loss. Was my favourite player at the club

The midfielder leaves the club to be closer to his family in France

Brighton then? Perhaps the Gills? Southend even?

We have so many homesick players don't we. I would think Diarra has spent most of his career away from the bosom of his nearest and dearest. Sounds like a lot of old flannel to me to placate the plebs in this cost cutting exercise.
