    Good news, but talismanic? Really?

    A new contract for Holmes next please.

    Mark Kinsella was talismanic, not Pearce.

    Not a rumour - a fact - Pearce signs new contract: http://www.cafc.co.uk/news/article/2016-17/charlton-athletic-football-club-jason-pearce-contract-3731342.aspx

    Good move.

    Interesting that this contract was signed three weeks ago, according to rumours from good sources at the time, but the announcement was to be delayed until their had been some signings.
    I think we know where this is heading.

    Good signing followed by good signing followed by an extended deal for one of our better players leads to....Holmes departure.

    A lot of people are saying that Holmes is gonna go but the Sheff Utd rumours have seriously gone quiet of late?

    I'll believe it when he signs a new contract.

    I think Charlton have offered Holmes a deal that would compete with anything outside of the ridiculous.

    If Ricky leaves I think it's going to be for football reasons rather than money.

    Now I've criticised the club as much as anyone but in Holmes case I think they have done all they can to persuede him to stay. Sometimes a player just wants to leave.

    Let's hope it's enough and he signs an extension very soon.

    Still think Holmes will stay. Not saying he will sign a new deal, althpugh he might, but my gut instinct has always been that he will stay.

    Plenty of activity over the last few days. Maybe they were waiting for a new consignment of pens to arrive, so that they could actually get some deals signed!

    I think the club are trying to build up some credit in the bank for when Holmes leaves.

    I think you could replace when for if.

    It could be that Holmes has been told about the team strengthening plans and promised a genuine push for promotion. He might be happy with the revised contract but is waiting to see if they come good with player recruitment. I think promises have been made in the past to players that never materialised...

    I'm not sure he's that smart! :lol: Just kidding, I hope you're right.

    If Forrester is as much of a trouble maker as I've read, he'd just be another T.Watt. One T.Watt is enough thanks.

    I think you mean Jóhann Berg Guðmundsson, who signed a new deal because, it was rumoured, that he was told we would be signing some good players, unfortunately for him, he was the good signing

    Holmes is in Barcelona for his birthday with his girlfriend. I wouldn't start panicking just yet!

    I hope we get rid of Tex, high wages and no where near as good as he thinks he is, is our 3rd best CB

    What a strange comment......"not as good as he thinks he is"......what makes you say that, has he ever openly expressed that he thinks he's a great player or boasted about his abilities?
    I've not heard it mentioned anywhere.

    That's because he is off to Madrid in a straight swap for Ronaldo.

    I must admit I am delighted with Pearce signing a new contract. I hold my hands up and state I didn't think he was all that good however Our performances turned around dramatically towards the end of the season and this was largely attributable to a solid defence marshalled by him.

    So far so good

    Hoping Da Silva is coming back for the season. Think he is going to be a superstar but A season with us and hopefully getting promoted with us what to do both parties very good.

    Think pearce is great news probably carrying an injury early season. Look better in latter games.

    I meant in the ball playing sense, you shouldn't try risky/ambitious passes if you don't have the ability to
