There is the summer exodus of players that we were hoping for.
Sorry but disappointed that we've offered Inniss a new deal, certainly after his behaviour at Wimbledon with his fitness issues.

Surprised about Washington, but did not score enough goals for a striker2

Inniss, as I've said, is a cheat code.......so long as he isn't maimed, or maiming
Having him around must be good for the others in training, having him on the field gives us so much presence. He's a winner, a colossus. Plus, he does invaluable community work. Don't write him off. He'll be on the bench mostly next season I think, but we will need someone like him14 -
Ryan Inniss, Josh Davison and Nathan Harness have also had one-year extensions triggered.
Meanwhile, George Dobson, Corey Blackett-Taylor and Ashley Maynard-Brewer are set to enter the final year of their contracts and the club have an option to extend each of those contracts by a year at the end of the 2022/23 season.
Gallen added: “We have a group of players in place and our focus this summer is adding further quality to the squad.”
Jason Pearce has been offered a contract coaching in the club’s academy, while the club are in ongoing negotiations with the representatives of Ben Purrington about a potential new playing contract.

presumably they want someone better to play with stockley/aneke
CW could play winger, but again I’d imagine they’ll be looking at more out and out players to fill that position0 -
Innis played 15 league games this season and will likely manage a similar amount next year. Say what you like about him as a player/person but what's the point?19

JFC: "I'm delighted to be staying. It's an exciting time for the club and I can't wait to get going. I believe it is going to be a great season."Gallen: “I’m pleased we’re keeping Jake with us. All the Charlton fans know what a good player he is and he’s a great character to have around the club too. He’s been working hard to get back to full fitness, we’ve seen glimpses this season and now he has a full summer to get his head down and get back to the level we all know he can play.”8

Good to see Matthews gone.
Don’t agree with keeping Inniss. The fact that his community work gets mentioned so often shows his availability doesn’t justify a new contract.
I can still see Davison going, as with Fosu we might be hoping to get a small compensation fee for him.
Great to know Dobson as well as CBT and AMBA has an optional year which we can activate.
Commented on Washington on his thread - signs that we’ll move back to 4-3-3 / 4-2-3-1?4 -

• Chris Gunter fair enough
• Conor Washington IF THIS IS CHARLTON'S DOING THIS IS MADNESS AND WILL BE REGRETTED given the effort he put in even after our season was dead I doubt he's chosen to go elsewhere, but the absence of a manager can't be ignored
• Adam Matthews better than him will cost a lot
• Ben Watson old news
• Pape Souare old news
• Stephen Henderson something's gone awry with SH, he's a lovely bloke and a decent keeper, strange one this
The club can confirm the following players will leave the club following the expiration of their loan deals:
• Akin Famewo thanks for what you tried to do and good luck wherever you end up
• Nile John baffling
• Elliot Lee prefer he stayed to Gilbey, EL might need to revise his salary expectations
• Jon Leko very disappointing spell
• Juan Castillo baffling
• Mason Burstow he'll be in limbo til Chelski's sitch is resolved
The club would like to wish every player who is leaving the best of luck for the future and thank them for their efforts during their time with Charlton.
Ryan Inniss, Josh Davison and Nathan Harness have also had one-year extensions triggered
Inniss only makes sense if he's really cheap - he's made of glass
Davison - with JFC this is probably the best news in this article - which shows the depths of the crud we're paddling in at the moment
Harness - one for the future

Fair enough. The big clear out most people wanted.
All I would say is I hope TS and Gallen have got a large number of quality replacements lined up because this squad is now paper thin.9 -
I'm disappointed to see Washington depart. That said - wonder if he's been offered superior terms elsewhere? We definitely need more firepower up top if he's off, the returning Davison isn't the most reliable backup for Stockley and Aneke .3

Disappointed Washington is not staying. Agree with the rest. Some rebuild hopefully3

2 seasons here, 11 league goals in each
36 (11)
35 (11)
Equates to roughly 1 in 3. I'd have at least offered him a one-year deal, ideally two. Why not?

Happy with JFC, I wonder how happy he is with it!1
-
You wanted drastic overhaul, that’s what we’ve got, let’s see what happens now, I mean how can it get worse than last season?
Happy with JFC and Davison, yes even Davison I think the loan did him the world of good and he’s still young.
Innis surprised at, injury record is atrocious.
Mathews, not that fussed, he didn’t look interested most of the season.
Washington is the most surprising, he offers a reasonable amount of goals and would of been a good squad player but as I say, we asked for drastic changes and this is what it looks like.
I would of been more dissatisfied had we kept most of them and just added in small doses, now it’s clear we will sign many players.2 -
well cannot believe we have extended Innis contract, nor am i happy with Davison and Foster-Caskey.
So the new manger/coach is going to have little or no say over the squad.0 -
Mentioned my feelings on Washington on the other thread.
Have to say I am worried about keeping Innis. We now have a player upfront, and in defence who are known to be break down easily, and are unable to offer consistent 90 minutes cover if needed.
Throw in JFC and his recent injury issues, and I do fear we are falling down the same rabbit hole.
Hopefully it’s a sign that we plan to get strength in depth.1 -
Wonder whats happening with the U23s in terms of being released - Surprised that Wassim Aoucharia wasnt mentioned in that list, whilst I believe that Johl Powell | Hady Ghandour | Billy French are also out of contract now?0

This doesnt mean we will keep the players like inniss and davison who have had contracts triggered simply means we will get a fee if anyone wants them
new manager may come in and still get rid of a good few more i reckon1 -
I think Washington is a loss. Resigning Innis seems a bit pointless considering he'll be out for half the season injured or suspended. But I doubt his wages are much so worth the risk0

Said I don't think any can complain if they got let go after that season. Think Inniss is very lucky to be retained and Washington unlucky to be let go, but the overall list is very good news. Inniss' community contribution may have played a part. Retaining Davison suggests he impressed enough at Swindon, hopefully we'll see a Parker-esque transformation (Scott, not Josh).2

Don’t really disagree with much of this. I would definitely have kept Jason Pearce for a year and got rid of DJ.2

Ryan Innis is a surprising one. Just don’t see him playing enough to be a crucial member of our team.1
