there is a reason why Sheff Utd are still interested, they will have had encouragement from one party or another to keep up their persuit

And thos parties are probably Wilder and Ricky's agent

the fact he hasn't signed an improved contract is in itself telling

Or his agent is advising Ricky to hold out for better terms offered with all the speculation around.

Only a small rumour, cannot be sure it is true, but I heard that Holmes has agreed to sign, but Chris Parkes has taken the pen with him on holiday, so they have to wait for him to return next week.

His agent may be advising him to do all sorts, but does he have to take his advice ?? A solicitor may advise you to do a "no comment" interview if you are ever being questioned by the police - but you can decide yourself what is best.

imo Ricky should sign or bugger off - why mess people around ?

Why is he messing people about?

He has a year left on his contract, he's training, why does he have to do anything other than that as he's under contract.

IMO Holmes will stay. Hes currently our best player & he can also see the players we have already brought in & the few we are still chasing.
I think he will give Charlton another season to see if we can get promoted.
If we don't go up then I would expect him to take offers next season.

I doubt there is too much between the offers that Charlton and Sheffield Utd have made to Ricky. Both at his stage of his career are probably pretty good.

I genuinely don't think the club want to sell him unless the offer is ridiculous or Ricky makes it very clear he wants out. At present neither have happened.

Personally I don't buy the Ireland trip as the reason he hasn't yet put pen to paper. I think RH is waiting to see if Sheffield Utd make an offer he can't refuse. I doubt Holmes has had official contact with Wilder but we all know that means nothing.

At this point I think it's 50/50 as to whether he remains at The Valley.

Maybe he's already signed it and is under an embargo not to say - so that when we miss out on Reeves they can use the Holmes announcement to soften the news...

All the while it is rumoured the blades or anyone else are sniffing around him, we are at risk of losing him. Roland adds his particular brand of dribbling fuckwittery fuelled by any whiff of €uros, as soon as his arbitrarily ascribed valuation for RH is met roly will sanction the sale. In the mind of the septuagenarian shit4brains Charlton's squad is well stocked with equal replacements: i.e. Any geezer identified as a midfielder. I hope I'm wrong but that shy mangey old leopard ain't about to change his spots.

Just see him in the BP garage on widmore road. Told him to stay at Charlton, he ignored it and said "What's appnin mate"

Did you get a chance to see if his sat nav was set for Sheffield? Did he head off in a northerly direction with his tank full? I think I need to call a journo.

I'd be a bit confused as to why he is back from the tour?!

Everyone flew back for the weekend.

Or I say I didnt know what I was voted on.

He's not messing anyone around. He can't make the decision on staying or going unless the clubs actually agree on a fee for him.

Or, a price and contract terms to stay.

Great news. I told you people I was confident he was staying. Now for the announcement and we can move forward with the transfer targets.
