Of course I have moved on!
Yann Kermorgant has just run out to play for Reading in the cup game at Old Trafford.
Following his forced departure from the Valley in January 2014, Kermorgant of course played a huge part in getting Bournemouth promoted to the Prem and in his 2 year spell there - scored 27 goals in 45 League and Cup games - a ratio of a little over 1 goal every 2 games.
Then, following his transfer to Reading, he has managed 10 goals in 32 Championship games - a ratio of close to 1 goal in every 3 games.
Yeah, I've moved on ok and so has Yann Kermorgant - rather successfully it seems.
Yet, as far as we can tell, Thomas Driesen is still there dispensing his particular brand of scouting wisdom and protected by Duchatelet and Meire by mystifying his existence and certainly protected from any accountability for current or past mistaken 'advice' (....our head scout would obviously play Thuram in goal).
Good Luck today Yann - many happy memories - the only goal I regret you scoring was that scissor kick you got for us away at Bournemouth in front of Eddie Howe because - of of course...........oh, silly me - he saw it live and recognised what a special player you are whilst Chris Powell coached you at Leicester before bringing you to the Valley
and yet, incredibly, Thomas Driesen in Belgium knew more about you than Chris Powell did!
Yeah, I 've moved on re Yann - what other option is there?
But I've not moved on nor never will forget the damage that Meire and Duchatelet have done to this club over the last 3 years with the Kermorgant sale being only the first of a series of monumental errors excused seemingly on every occasion by the announcement of a new era.
Lets give the last word to Yann himself...........to the Regime......
They have wasted the Club.

Absolutely spot on.

Yann was for me one of my favourite players ever. He was a legend for me15

Detest the regime as they have done so much damage, but let's move on for gawd sake.3

he could have just stayed and honoured his contract, which would automatically had an additional year after 1/2 more games, rather than demanding improved terms to stay8

The thread is titled 'of course I have moved on'
and is specifically focused on 'moving on' from Yann...
Maybe I'm missing the subtlety of your posting?
If moving on (a lazy expression but one which I utilised anyway for the purposes of Yann K)
means having to move on and accept every crass decision of Duchatelet in the pursuit of his unobtainable football related and social engineering experiment then no.
So, how do you reconcile a recognition that the regime has done so much damage with the request simply to 'move on' - what does that entail exactly?

One of my favourite players too.
Great attitude, no doubt forged from his serious illness as a youngster.
Big mistake by the Belgians, but it was an early sign that CP was not in command.
The sooner they sell up - the better for CAFC.6 -

When I was there I didn't really want to leave. At first I wanted to sign a new deal and spend a longer time with the club. In my first meeting with the new owners I found out things were really different - they had a vision which for me was completely deluded.cafcdave123 said:he could have just stayed and honoured his contract, which would automatically had an additional year after 1/2 more games, rather than demanding improved terms to stay
PS see also @Leaburn's posting.
I'm not going to respond further on this thread .
As @Leaburn has stated - its nothing more than a wind-up by cafcdave123 which no doubt be followed up by this posters' claim that he is free to express his opinion if criticised. So be it.
I posted in good faith spurred on by seeing Yann playing today in a televised game.
To use the phrase yet again.........I'm now moving on!1 -
I'm not moving on from the fact that Driesen is a useless cunt.13

Didnt last long.....I've come back to do a Meire style about face and also apologise for not recognising wit and sarcasm when I'm staring it in the face..........!!Daarrzzetbum said:Detest the regime as they have done so much damage, but let's move on for gawd sake.
Although, come to think of it .......Meire doesn't apologise for anything does she!0 -
I haven't moved on. For me, Yann was the most talented player we've had since we were in the Premiership. He played a major part in our historic promotion, did a good job in the Championship and could have been the centrepiece for something really special; if only we'd had an owner with an ounce of footballing ambition.
That they forced Yann out and also got shot of Morrison, Stephens and most of all Chris Powell, still sticks in my craw and I think it always will do. That we now know that these monumentally stupid actions were carried out at the behest of a little boy with all the footballing insight of a broken-legged Subutteo player, makes it all the worse with hindsight. I hate what these bastards have done to our club. Getting rid of Yann is one of their most blatant faux pas. It's not the fans who should move on; it's the terrible triumvirate that have brought this club to its knees that need to move on.26 -

For me, my second favourite player, after Hales.
Could and should still be a Charlton player (Yann not Killer, although he'd probably score more than a few current players).2 -
Almost three years on since we replaced Yann with Reza.
That will always be the regime legacy for me.

What a bunch of non football cunts we have running Charlton. As long as they stay we are fucked.3

I don't know why you are all moaning we got polish Pete as a replacement didn't we.

To be fair to Reza, I don't think he was brought in to replace Yann! Not when the other striking options were Church and Sordell...SouthWest_Addicks said:Almost three years on since we replaced Yann with Reza.

Is this one of the mistakes that Daisy bangs on about from time to time?0
-
This is what really annoys me about the cretins running our club. Daisy thinks a bit of expensive PR can fix everything. Roland doesn't care what us stupid people think, he is always right. We will all come to see the light that a football club is somewhere to go for a drink and a dance.
I will never, ever forgive them for selling Yann and sacking Powell. There is nothing on Earth they can do to win my good opinion back.

Selling Yann is the symbol of this regime's incompetence.2
-
Met Yann a couple of times, very unassuming and friendly guy, I took these two photographs one at the kit launch at Andrews in July 2013, and the other at the Eltham Addicks, I think September of that year.
Always played with passion, and commitment.
Cannot say I have moved on....... ridiculous to let him go.2 -
