Despite being too often played out of position Wagstaff was one of our best players last season IMHO.
Pace, goals, fantastic work rate, defensively sound, goals, assists, worked well with Solly and did I mention goals. We should be building a team based on Solly and Waggy as our right side not thinking of letting them go.
He was awful for the last 4/5 months of the season. Fairplay to him for running about its a tricky job, but he lacks the skill to be in the first team. Hope hes a backup and nothing more next season.
Always found him to be a bit of an enigma really. He always seemed to me to be lot better when attacking the covered end than the JS, or is it just time I got some glasses?
Not consistent enough IMHO Henry. Agree though we should keep him. Runs down too many blind allies for my liking and consequently does'nt always have an end product. Time is on his side though and as he matures and confidence grows, could play a major part in our climb back up the pyramid.
Discussions regarding new deals have taken place with a number of Addicks who are out of contract at the end of June, the club announced on Friday afternoon.
But the futures of eight senior players - Christian Dailly, Jose Semedo, Therry Racon, Kyel Reid, Joe Anyinsah, Miguel Llera, Jonathan Fortune and Kelly Youga - have yet to be fully resolved.
The contracts of all eight players run until June 30th and, as is standard practice with players nearing the expiry of their deals, their names will appear on the list of released players publicised by the Professional Footballers' Association.
However, manager Chris Powell and Addicks officials have discussed future possibilities with some of the octet.
The statement released on Friday (after prompting by me , perhaps ???) tells us, the fans, absouluty NOTHING. It doesn't say which, if any, of the 8 players named, we want to keep & therefore offered new contracts or whether they are all being binned !!
It being reported on here that LLera has gone - but the statement doesn't say that at all - by all accounts he may have been offered a new contract.............
Anyinsah has gone on record (if you can call Twitter that) that he has not beeb offered a new contract - whereas an OFFICIAL statement by the club that employs him tells us something different. The news on Twitter isn't a rumour, put out by a newspaper or an agent, but by the player himself.................is this the way in future we are going to find out who we have signed, by Twitter.
The club should do whatt other clubs do - say who has been released, and of those whose contract are up which we want to keep & therefore have offered new deals & which we have let go......or is it we don't want to admit that the ones we WANT to keep (Semedo, Racon ) have told us to *********** and are looking elsewhere !!!!!!!!!
Get your act together Charlton - you've finally lost the plot !!!!!!!!!!!
Of those eight I reckon Semedo and Daily will sign new deals, Fortune will be given a 12month contract to get over his injury and the rest will leave/be shown the door
There is money, but the board don't want that announced. There will be a host of players leaving and any player that won't take the necessary pay cut for our division will be allowed to leave.

Trouble is, with the number that will be departing from the club, we will need 16 new players to have a functioning squad to cover for injuries, suspensions, etc. I feel that these new players will all be 'squad' players and not one that will provide the positive 'kin 'ell fan response when we are told about them. Sad, but we are a third tier team and we will recruit from non league, league 2 and maybe league 1 teams. We may get a few loan players in as well who need to get a run out.
Season only finished a couple of weeks ago (in fixtures, in the sense of us achieving anything it was over long before) so i don't see why the panic / rage over players for next season?
so we bring in 16 players and they are all squad players? If true they will all be in the squad, but the board would want all the players to improve the squad we had here last season
Some of you need to go to sleep for a weeks. There never will be a host of new signings in MAY. it always happens later. How many other clubs have announced signings. Talks are probably happening but players who we are talking to will be looking at several offers and won't jump to a decision! Some clubs are even still playing! If targets were MK Dons or bournemoth players we couldn't have spoken yet. If their PBoro players we will have to wait another 2 weeks!
It is still May. I think it's all gonna be about who do we have on the doorstep, and then what have we got left over? Not gonna start getting the vapours yet, it's a long hot off-season. I'll start getting the vapours around August 1st.
FFS Golfie, what on earth do you want the club to say. Like it or not this is a business and the last thing you do when negotiating deals/contracts is show your hand too early.
Why on earth do you think you have the right to know exactly what has been offered to whom???
Jeez, it's not even the end of May yet and people are pissing their pants again already. It's pathetic.

Ok, so I have some insider information.

The club will be bringing 16 players in.
You heard it here first.
Please let this be true.
