    It is when you don't have it written down, have no time to look it up and only read it in passing at 4am this morning.

    I used to love him. Then he put in two years worth of abject performances

    Yes played there in pre season and Karl has mentioned he has the qualities to play there. He may be useful in that role against teams we expect to dominate. He could have that little bit of trickery and skill to unlock a packed defence.

    Potentials there for Tony Watt, he has clearly made an effort to trim down and get match fit. I think this will be a make or break 6 months for him. If he doesn't perform, he will be gone in January.

  • Tony Watt is the biggest waste of wages in our squad, that's a squad that includes Naby Sarr.

    There's only so long a player can have bags of potential before he's considered a wasted talent

    It's more annoying that we've seen he has talent and yet doesn't have the attitude to get the best out of himself.

    I'd much prefer an honest poor player like Church over a lazy talent like Watt. One works for the team and one works for himself.

    Watt wouldn't get this many chances if he was the owner or CEO...

    You could count the amount of good games Tony Watt has had for us. He is unable to apply himself. I hear people saying he has slimmed down this summer, well he was still first out of the bleep test. We cannot carry Tony anymore. There has never be any doubt that a good player lurks in there. Sadly the only person able to sort this out is himself and he, for whatever reason is unable to so.

    If Tony leaving let's us bring a new head in, then it's tata Tone.

    Was sitting opposite the half way line for this. It was the most memorable miss of the season. But also the most memorable run of the season.

    If he'd scored we wouldn't even be in with a chance of getting him on loan.
    so behind the goal...?
    I nearly wrote 'I was sitting on the halfway line' but I knew someone would say 'literally?', and being a bit of a pedant myself....

    agreed, I have seen him play well twice I think. Don't mind him going at all.

    Karl Robinson is not ruling out Charlton prospect Ezri Konsa moving in the final weeks of the transfer window.

    Cant say fairer than that really, he is being honest.

    I agree, and if its true we have rejected 3.5mil, at least we are hopefully only going to accept a decent offer.

    I still don't think we need 5 CBs but Lennon/Sarr are only good enough for 4th choice and it's nice to have 2 lefts and 2 rights. I don't mind us selling either Lennon or Sarr, and if Konsa goes, I think we would need a decent 3rd choice CB to compete with Pearce and Bauer for the starting berths.

    Can't be true, Richard Murray said we can keep hold of our best young players with Duchatelet

    Sarr has developed into a good player. He has to be ahead of Lennon now.

    I would say so. Lennon has had a lot of injury problems and will never be more than a decent League 1 player IMO. I would prefer we got rid of him and signed a FB.

    Is that not just the same as saying..."You could count."???

    Isnt Karl Robinson the first English boss that Naby has worked under since joining Charlton?

    If so its probably one of the key factors in his education of the English game, i.e. He's now being told what to do and what to expect by someone who knows what the English game is about rather than a foreign manager telling him to play how Defenders act in the Portuguese | French | Belgian Leagues which is of course a different style
