Assume you are asking what Sarr is on? The discussion around Taylor and a new deal also raised the wages of others within the squad. I have no idea as to the validity of this source (a few of us were told on the day of the takeover to watch the website for news at 2.05, and several other snippets have come to fruition) but the word was that no-one but Sarr was on more than 5k a week. Naby is apparently on 10k, which is a hangover from the deal he got when he originally signed.ElfsborgAddick said:

18k ain’t measly mateRedhenry said:we offered a miserly amount to Taylor, don't blame him tbhExactly the figure that was being banded around the week before ESI completed the takeover. As was the fact he had rejected the deal without negotiating.I'm not stupid enough to think that ESI won't be spinning this, but equally I refuse to accept that he has been offered less than Naby Sarr earns.
I do wonder what unrest it would have caused had Taylor signed a new deal for the alleged 18k a week? Would Mr Southall have had a procession of pissed off players banging on his door demanding more money? would prospective signings all be adding a zero to their weekly wage demands? Who knows.
Ultimately, it is pretty clear to me that Taylor will be gone by the end of this season at the latest, part of me hopes we get an offer and he goes now. It has the potential to rumble on and again become the Lye Taylor show.

I was told different on Williams. Technically no formal offer was made but a club got in contact regarding a deal. It involved a pay as you play bonus but the information I received was that if he played 30 games he would have doubled his annual salary with us.cafctom said:
Seen it suggested a few times that Jonny Williams “took a paycut” to stay with us.Rossman92 said:It is what it is. I appreciate what he's done for us and his goals will be hard to replace, but we'll find a decent replacement. That's the first thing Southall did was tell Lee to buy a striker.
The fans will find a new favorite. Mine continues to be Jonny Williams, the man who took a pay cut to stay with us. While I dont blame Lyle for looking for more money, it is still refreshing to have the likes of Williams and Solly in the team who have a bit of loyalty to Charlton
That isn’t strictly true.
Yes, he is earning less money than he was on for his previous contract. But he didn’t ‘choose’ us over an alternative option that would have given him more money. He took time in the Summer to evaluate his options and see what he could get - and no club was going to offer him the money that he was on previously, and hence he re-signed with us.
Very different to ‘taking a pay cut to be with Charlton’
I heard that the bonus was for playing five games but Jonny was holding out for three.0 -

Teixeira and Sarr aside.0 -
With our current squad, of the players we actually own you'd expect Lyle to earn the most, the star striker (and general talisman) will always command more money then the rest of the team
How much more than the others he should be on is the tricky one...1 -
Only 2 lol's so far is very disappointing, that crack was worthy of a promote.blackpool72 said:

How bad is his current injury? It will surely have a bearing on any transfer in this window?
A younger player with an injury might be taken on, but he is pushing 30 and has spent a lot of this season in the treatment room, so he might find it harder than he thinks to move on during this window.
As others have said, he has done great for the club and he does not deserve any grief from us fans, if he wants to move on.
Maybe the win-win for both club and Lyle is that he sees out his contract, scores another 10 goals + to help us stay up and he gets a hero's farewell in the summer.
Charlton are on the way up and ESI need to plan longer term - Lyle is replaceable, like any other player

I wished we'd signed him on a longer contract or even extended it (if Roland would have) half way through last season.
I suspect though, even if the contract was longer, we may be in a similar situation to that we currently are in.

This is Lyle’s last chance for a big payday. If he can’t agree a deal with us then he goes elsewhere. If he doesn’t go this window he’s off on a free this summer. If we get an acceptable offer this window and Bow gets the funds to reinvest then its probably best he goes. Won’t get me complaining. He did the same at Wimbledon and we benefitted. It happens.4

This is an entertaining thread, miles better than Eastenders.
There seems to be a bit of posturing and dancing round handbags going on at the moment, and that’s just on here!3 -
Not just that but players have signed a contract for £xx per week......they just cant "ask" for more just because a team mate has negotiated a new contract because his is due to run out in 6 months time.Once their existing contract is up (or renewed arbitrarily by the club) then they can ask for a better deal than the one they are currently on.killerandflash said:With our current squad, of the players we actually own you'd expect Lyle to earn the most, the star striker (and general talisman) will always command more money then the rest of the team

One thing about Matt Southall.....he knows a damn site more than RD or KM ever did about players contracts.

I'd rather he stayed then & saw out his contract. We arent going to get much for him this month due to clubs being able to get him for free next season AND supposedly injured. He is worth more to us over the coming 4 months than a measly million or twoLargeAddick said:This is Lyle’s last chance for a big payday. If he can’t agree a deal with us then he goes elsewhere.

In no Seer, but I thought prechristmas he was off in January, and this would blow up and escalate, and whilst I’ll have a heavy heart, I bear him no ill or malice, and hope he’s happy and healthy, cmon people life’s too short, to get too worked up, we’re better than that team down the road that loves river island.
I’d love Lyle to stay and see the job through, become a club legend , and continue on our journey of reset as a club to continue.
Be proud, be loud, and make sure you get your touches down to the valley because the boys really need our support, and we could do with something out of that one.

Just caught up with this thread after hearing some 'news' about Lyle tonight. Whether it's accurate or not is another thing as it has come from a surprising source, not linked to CAFC in anyway.
Was told a 'decent offer' was made to Lyle by Charlton (sorry @Redhenry, but it doesn't tie up with yours), but there is interest from a Premier League Club who have made a serious inquiry about Lyle and his head has been turned - and to be honest I cannot blame him if it's true.
If they really want him in January, then they will get him.
EDIT: Sorry, didn't mean to be cryptic, but heard it's Aston Villa.

Can’t blame him for going there if true1

If true then who could blame him for going? It's his last chance for a decent contract to set himself and his family up for the rest of their lives, whether ultimately that be in the Premier League, the Championship or in Scotland.Addickted said:Just caught up with this thread after hearing some 'news' about Lyle tonight.

I'd like him to stay but, if he decides to go, then good luck to him. He has always given his all for us and, at the end of the day, he is a professional and, to him, it is just a job. Who wouldn't want to maximise your earnings from that job?6 -

I actually think Lyle would do a job in the Prem to be honest. Just hope he doesn’t end up at Palace...1

If Villa are interested in Lyle, I definitely couldn't blame him for wanting to move.
Especially after seeing how well Karlan did a year ago. And Villa are a much bigger club than Huddersfield too.8 -

You are not playing the game, you were not meant to name the club.

No way has Taylor been offered way less than 10k a week, why would anyone waste their time like that.1

Yep why not stay for a Championship relegation battle and pass up an opportunity near the tail end of his career to play at the highest level in front of twice as many fans every week and increase his earnings .golfaddick said:
