    Despite that I’m still not giving up hope yet. He was always going to return to West Ham and have a pre season with them. It’s quite another thing forcing your way into a 25 man squad. There might just not be room for him in that 25 as a midfielder. In any case, good luck Josh. Great little footballer.

    Doesn't read like a "might be back next year" message.  Shame - really good player.

    Thanks for helping us this season Josh. One of the best midfielders ive seen play for us for a while.

    I agree 100%. Nothing wrong with the lad having a little ambition but I still think he’ll find it incredibly tough to break in over ther - Declan Rice he is not.

    Given he's 23 not for example 19-20, you do wonder if he can't get into West Ham's 25 they'll look to sell him and not loan him.

    If so I suspect he'll go somewhere where they're spending a lot more than we are.

    Wish him all the best. As others had said players like him with a great attitude and skill and hard work will have a very good career. Shame he is not a Charlton fan but he has earned his chance to try and get into the 1st team squad at West Ham. It ws vital that him, Aribo, Bauer and Beilik were fit for Wembley as they were the class players (not forgetting Taylor).

    Been brilliant for us and only wish him well. But two days in, and our parade has been well and truly pissed on. Guess it was always going to happen and expect the inevitable of bielik, Williams, Bauer and possibly bow saying goodbye in the next couple of weeks. Until Roland fucks off, there’s never going to be stability or longevity.

    At least we have these issues a league higher.

    He wants to play for west ham but they might not want him (feel he's ready) so you never know.

    He looked very small on the big Wembley pitch. Can’t help thinking maybe too small for the Prem?

    Will struggle to get in over Declan rice I would have thought.

    I’m guessing Cullen is aiming for a spot in the West Ham squad rather than the starting XI

    Messi survives too. 

    Josh will Always be welcome at the Valley. He will always be remembered as a hard working honest (and quality) young man who gave one the greatest assists ever in Charlton’s history.

    Will really miss Cullen as he was instrumental in our rise this year. Good luck, Josh, and thanks for your commitment and energy. But.... should you go on loan again, remember the great times at CAFC and come back!

    Did us proud. There are a few players over the years, not many, but a few, who could come to us with a different colour shirt on and be clapped off the pitch. Join that list Josh.

    Not as small as the players on the pitch in Baku last night!

    It’s make or break for him at WH, at his age if he doesn’t get into the squad this year he needs to move on. Not convinced he’d come back due to wages, but you never know........

    either way he bought into what bowyer was doing, as the goal went in it was him who sprinted across the pitch to celebrate with JJ. At times this season I forgot he was a loan player, without that dislocated shoulder he’d probably have pushed us into top 2.

    top player at this level, pleasure to have watched him wearing red.

    It is quite unusual to have loan signings play their hearts out for a club that is not their first choice.We were very fortunate,cullen Beilick and Purrington were superb for us,and I hope they all go on to have great careers wherever they play.I hope they all have fond memories of Charlton,they will always be welcome back to the Valley.And no I have not given up seeing them here next year.

    He will know where he stands with West Ham this season around the time the season starts. There will be many factors deciding this, not least how he performs pre-season. We are well placed to pick him up if he isn't in their immediate plans. He does need to be playing football at this stage of his career. I thought he was always good, but got better as the season went on and that is why.

    Did he? When was that?

    Certainly didn't assist Bauer's goal, that was off Bauer's head, against a Sunderland player, then Bauer struck it again for it to deflect in...

    I mean i get the sentiment and it was an important pass, but let's not over egg the pudding.

    Josh might want to have a word with Diego Poyet before deciding that his future is with West Ham

    It is and that is totally down to Bowyer & Jacko and the unity they have created.

    I dunno, most successful teams in the EFL have loan players in key positions, who totally want success for that club. Henderson at Shrewsbury a year ago and Sheffield Utd this season is a good example, he's desperate to stay at Sheffield next season

    I'm giving Cullen the assist to, 100%.

    It's such a simple situation and we shouldn't be surprised by nature of the 'goodbye' message. He has the opportunity to break into a Premier League squad and is backing himself to do it, fair play. He leaves on the highest of highs, his passion and performances in many games this season make him a fans fav. The celebration in the final alone, he was the first man to Jacko. He clearly cared about the club and had a great bond with players/fans. And as for the assist...

    Assuming (big assumption) money isnt a factor in being able to get him back on a potential loan, the 3 scenarios are simple:

    - He has a blinder of a pre-season with West Ham and makes matchday squads. Goes on to have a Prem career and personally I'd be buzzing for him if he did
    - He has a decent enough pre-season to turn heads, makes the odd squad/cup game but by Jan aint happy with playing time. I am convinced he would welcome the idea of being back here as he seems to have enjoyed our setup  and being part of this team
    - West Ham don't fancy him over pre-season, he becomes available for loan at the end of the window and we're in the mixer for him if he wants to be loaned out to the Champ for same reason above
