Well I've just heard Pardew praise him to the hilt this morning on "Addicks audio"? Doesn't sound like he'd want him to leave but then as he mentioned on there some of the sales we'll see "are forced" so who knows? It bothers me how some fans are so happy to see some of these players go. Sure I would be in favour as well if better quality players were coming in, but looking closely at recent history that hasn't happened. and is unlikely to with our current resources.
"could have been a contender" will be on his grave stone.
Rather have someone who actually look like he wants to play for us and not thinking about what pair of shoes he will be wearing in the club that nite. Hope he goes couldnt give a f**k where.
For all JT's shortcomings & there are several for a so called 'Class' winger, he should never be allowed to go for nothing, which is why I do not think this story is true.
There has been some confused chatter on line about whether he was out of contract. I suspect the rumours spread from that. Frankly I'd have sold him last year and bought somebody else in but selling him now doesn't make much sense unless Pards thinks that the youngsters like Wagstaff are going to threaten his place, or if Bonking Bent wont/doesn't go. I can't see us selling him for nix though.
[cite]Posted By: razil[/cite]he wouldn't sign a new deal and has little left on his contract, aside from his other issues, that is why I'd be pleased to see him go..
If pards has finally worked oout how to motivate him then keepotherwise he would not be worth keeping
My take on Thomas is that even when he 'looks' good(usually somewhere around the halfway line), he in fact rarely comes up with the goods i.e. a goal or a half decent cross.
I reckon Thomas is key to our season. A fully commited Thomas on form will be a massive player for Charlton. Although we still need a playmaker in middle of the park to bring him into game further upfield in more dangerous positions instead of picking ball up on half-way line. We cant afford to sell him, we dont have anyone to replace him or the money too

I said exactly the same last season, however I won't be making the same mistake twice!
I'm with Ketman here, he is to all intents on paper a quality wide player, however I also think that maybe he is better suited to the game and ofiicialling (spelling) in the prem than our current level as he can be a good outlet at top tier but not so effective at our level. As much as people don't like his attitude or percieved attitude he is a talented player who is worth a shite site more then nothing.
Just a shame he needs a big slap in the tits to do it

I think we'd pay Derby to take him and its nothing to do with wages.
As much as i want rid of them both, can you imagine being stuck in a car with them two plebs for two hours?
i'd end up f##king killing them!
I'd like to keep JT if possible
That was the idea.

But JT is a useless showboater imho.

Couldn't agree more mate - he's too good to go for a free
The really annoying thing is that he could be absolutely brilliant in this division

If you're right then God help us all!

I did stress that it was not something i had heard, just a rumour i had seen circulating up there. I don't fully believe it to be honest.
