I don’t think he deserves the stick he gets, at 1st I thought he had something about him, thought he didn’t lack effort. It became clear the step up wasn’t going to happen. Unfortunately it happens. I wish him well to be honest.

Was crap for us then had the chance to bank us 300k but rejected Bolton to sit on a wage at us. Don’t blame him for doing it but shows where his priorities lie. No sympathy from me when money is all he cared about opposed to going and getting regular football elsewhere for his own career 

But he went elsewhere for regular football, Stevenage, and has gone on loan again to get regular football. Think you are well wide of the mark. If anyone is to blame it’s whoever sanctioned the fee and a four year contract.

Sorry, he is utter shit.  That is not his fault, fair enough. 

But he scored one goal for us, against non league Southend, a last minute FA Cup winner. 

He could have celebrated with the fans he scored right in front of, but instead chose to give them a ssshhhh sign instead.

Feck him.  Hope he does ok at Cambridge purely so we can bin him off permanently end of the season.

No idea why he would have given a bit back based on this post🤷🏻‍♂️

Loaned because no one wants to take on his wages.  What a dreadful signing.  

At least we have offloaded him and Cambridge will be paying some of his wages.

I'm living in hope he has an excellent season and that Cambridge will want to buy him.

I would have thought Ahadme would be the prime example for not giving four year contracts, we're not learning there.

No harm in giving 4 year contracts to anyone good .  Most of us would have watched “the gas man” for half an hour and not signed him.  

Half an hour ? you're being generous.

Literally 90% of footballers probably make the same call. Make that 99% of footballers if they still get the chance to go out on loan to play football anyway like Ahadme did. Why would he take a pay cut for our benefit?

Such revisionism, he didn't even shhh the crowd when he scored, he pointed a finger to the sky and pointed at himself

Got to love how some fans make stuff up and then it becomes truth to justify their righteous indignation.  He absolutely did not shush the crowd.  It is is enough that he wasn’t good enough, we don’t need to manufacture that a player is a bad egg.  I always thought he put in the effort just was technically poor

Took both goals pretty well

Sometimes a player and club just click, maybe him and Cambridge are made for eachother.

Here's hoping he goes on to score a dozen more and they want to make it permanent

I mean the second would've been quite something had he missed, but the first was a brave header. A hard worker just painfully slow so could never impact things. Hope it works out for him there.

Can't believe people aren't addressing the elephant in the room here, it is clear Gassan has been on this forum and read the @Chizz comment with an AI plan for success - https://forum.charltonlife.com/discussion/comment/5895405#Comment_5895405.

Wish him all the best, not being good enough at a certain level isn’t a crime. 

For a lot of Charlton players in the last twenty five years, that's been a qualification.

I hope he continues to score goals from now until January and hopefully the loan becomes a permanent. 

won’t have the money for him to make it permanent. Unless he’s goes abroad or bags 25 goals this season he will likely be on loan again next season. If Bolton couldn’t afford his wages last season when they had one of the bigger budgets in the division then there’s not a lot we can do with him 

Would have him in the team over Stockley

Which team ?
Are you living in the past !

CAFC have moved on and we have Leaburn, Kelman, Godden and Mbick to chose from as the central striker and Grant, TC, Alli and Nkeng for the wide positions.

We/I'm just saying that Stockley could do a good job for Wimbledon and Jackson. If he gets a good service from the wing so he can attack the ball as opposed to balls going over his head then being the top scorer of headers in the last decade in the EFL will be a positive.
Leaburn is a better number 9 than Jaden, though Miles does need to add goals to his game to go with his improved strength at taking on CB's.

I hope both Stockley and Gassan have good seasons especially the Gas man as we need him off our pay role ASAP.  It's not personal just a football decision.

Who ever decided to give a 4 year contract to Ahadme needs to explain the rationale behind it?
Wouldn't it have been Steve Gallen ?
