out with the old, in with the new....Racon Bailey Semedo, Shelvey and Sam Id keep. The rest Im a bit indifferent about.....seems that Bailey is all but gone anyway....
Wouldnt it be nice if we signed some players who we could actually bond with.....I cant say as there have been any "Charlton" type players on the books for a few years now...A Kins, a Webster, and browny, a Robbo, oh well I'll wake up eventually
I still think people are putting too much on this "30th June, end of contract" malarky. players have always talked to or signed for clubs before this date and I feel a few of you on here think there is going to be loads of players in/out just because of his date.
For the record we have already released players whose contracts are up and all the other players are contracted for another 1,2 or 3 years, so will comand a fee..........same goes for players we are looking to sign. The main reason why players don't generally sign before July 1st is that the buying club doesn't want to pay wages unnecessary. You will see a lot of the "frees" now trying to join clubs as they do not have any wages coming in July - they may be able to sustain that for a month or so but by the end of August ?
The worrying thing for me is that we're not being linked with anyone but our players are being linked with Chelsea, Cardiff, Boro etc. What sort of squad are we going to have come 8th August?

Sure, Golfie ....... but July 1st is generally the first day when news is released.
Even though players soon to be out of contract can negotiate with other clubs from January, many clubs impose confidentiality restrictions and therefore news of deals are kept under wraps until July 1st.
Also, from today the summer transfer window opens so the media should be full of speculation - and maybe even news of an actual deal.
[cite]Posted By: D_F_T[/cite]Racon, Bailey, Semedo, Shelvey and Sam are the ones likely to go unfortunately
Unfortunatley if they ALL went it would decimate our team and this coming season will be a big struggle......I couldn't watch a midfield of Holland and Spring week in week out!

I thought Holland was on the 'available on free transfer' website player directory someone posted yesterday?

I suspect this is much to do with us being a League 1 club as anything else - the press just don't really care about us now (if they ever did that much) so they're not bothering to do any digging. We're also not likely to be used much by agents leaking our name in an effort to drum up interest in their player.

Which suggests he's not being retained?
Yeah that was me, it does look like it.

Near enough to what I was going to say - we're in League One so it's no surprise.
At least we won't be linked with random players across Europe that we've never heard of. Instead we might occasionally be linked with random League Two players!
Holland, ZZ and Fortune can all walk tomorrow, well today as their contracts have expired but the club have said that they are in negotiations, so i would imagine they are on week to week contracts till it is agreed one way or another.

His wages might be a problem for us though!

We will be left with youngsters and dross on exorbitant wages not wanted by anybody else such as Christensen.

Of course:
Kelly Youga
Deon Burton
Matt Spring
Young Waggy on the Wing
They could be the nucleus of the Charlton rennaissance
;o)

IN Llera & some other free transfers
After all this we will sadly be Also rans before a ball is kicked. :-(
If this happens then we could be a lot worse than also rans! I hope this is depressed speculation rather than inside info?
only 1 of Bailey, Shelvey & Racon AND 1 striker (Gray) plus Moots
Zheng will want to go but I think he has work permit problems
Is he signing for MIllwall or staying?
I don't think anythings gone through yet, him signing a new deal here or elsewhere.
I wonder how long it'll be until we hear something from the club (or other clubs...) about Holland, Randolph, ZZ, Fortune and Wright?
Yes but look on SSN
Ambrose in talks with Palace and Hudson having a medical at Cardiff.
So neither have gone through yet it seems.
