Surely it's subjective. If you're 11 years old then he probably is to you. If you're old enough to have seen Mendonca and Hunt or Killer or Bartram then Kerms isn't on that pantheon.
People trying to tell who they can and can't hold up as legends has been one of the most tedious things to read on the Charlton forums over the last few days.
I'm only good for 5-6 games a year live. In the last two and a half seasons this is the player who more than any other (Chris Solly would be the closest) has restored my pride in the club after years of the hellish destruction of all my dreams.
It seems to me that in the few games I saw, every one I really enjoyed was lit up by a goal from Yann. And being Yann, they weren't tap ins. Yeovil away, Watford away...then there was the time he ended up bandaged like the Mummy. And I am glad to say that the best performance I saw from him was very recent. Brighton. That was a titanic performance from start to finish, smacked about as usual by desperate defenders, crowned with an exquisite free kick, all on a mud heap. We'd have lost that game without him, yet we spanked them.
I've got a signed shirt from him, first such shirt I've been proud to have on display for years. And I'm not about to burn it.
Too late for "don't sell" if they've agreed a price with The Cherries. The ball is in Yann's court now. I hope he chooses to stay with us, but wish him well if he wants to leave.
Got us up kept us up. Some going to Sparrows today to support him. Good on them for their passion
I beg to differ, who scored the goals that got us up? Including THE goal. Also you have Jackson's Sheffield double, which for me was when it was over bar the shouting. Solly completely untouchable all season at the back, Morrison was a beast. We would've won the league with or without him that season. The 4 mentioned above. Less so
The fact it's taken Yann this long to decide shows he really doesn't fancy going to Bournemouth. Think we're pinning our hopes on these two new strikers who are completely unknown which is a huge risk.
Plus he still needs to score a winner vs Millwall...
each to their own i say i look at the players and think ,in my day could i have done that if i was fitter and stronger and to most of them i'd say yes to kermo no way , different gravy ;-)
He's a player that has captured the sprit of cafc and there fans. Whether you think he is a legend or donkey. He invokes emotion and passion every time he puts the shirt on.
If he agrees to a move then he isn't Charlton for me. Certainly no way near a legend - I saw Hales, Kieley, Mendonca play and as stated above he is not in that ilk.
As above. Plus he is as hard as nails. Bit like Duncan Ferguson at Everton he wasn't a goal scorer but is a Legend at the club. Another player who I think was the hardest man to grace the premier league.

He can go.

Wasn't he?
Legends are the likes of Kinsella, Bent and Parker
Plus he still needs to score a winner vs Millwall...

Whom would you describe as a legend ?
That for me is enough. I'd like him to stay.
