Went to school with him. Last thing he said to me, and this was a while ago, some time before he broke into the first team, that should we be in the Championship as and when he became a first team regular, he'd be happy and willing to sign a contract with the club.
However the boardroom situation has changed SO drastically since he said these words that I don't know how much store to set by them. Hopefully he'll sign, but who knows.
Interesting tidbit - he's quite partial to Newcastle United for reasons I can't fathom. Often played at school in a Magpies shirt.
Hopefully I am wrong but I reckon Morrison and Poyet will be out of SE7 by the end of next week.
I stand corrected but I think contracts finish on the 31st May, so next week will see a bit of activity.
All contracts run to 30th June - I expect we will see some activity in June - let's hope we like the look of how the squad shapes up.
True but there have been loads of deals done already and, as with Hamer and Dervite, they just sign a deal as from, or dated, 1st July. We still pay them until 30th June irrespective.
For info, he was interested in Barcelona, but that can't happen now obviously. Porto were interested but Diego wasn't keen. He was happy playing under Riga.

We might infer from that, that you don't think he'll stay, which is a great pity. Hope he takes a view that he'll play regularly here and with another season behind him, he's bound to get attention from the big boys and can get an even better deal but sadly I think I'm dreaming.
Assuming Poyet goes, Cousins will take over his DM responsibilities, so it would make sense to tie Jordan up on a longer contract to avoid the same situation arising in a year's time.

Why can't that happen? I thought the transfer ban had been reversed
We didn't really help ourselves by voting him player of the season. Talk about attract even more attention to the boy with a dad who dominated the game. Typical Charlton, even our fans get Charltonised.

Thought it was only suspended while they appeal?
You are right, although I suppose until the suspension is lifted they can stll bag Poyet.

I had a bevvie before bed last night and in one of my dreams I ended up in an underwater fight to the death with Poyet for some reason. He just wouldn't stop attacking me. He's a pr*ck
We're now "interested" in a Congolese CDM, Distel Zola. Would've thought we would only be looking around for players in Poyet's position if he was going to leave. Not looking too promising...

I'd leave our circus in a heart beat if I was Diego.
May well have signed on by now if he saw the club moving on steadily with Riga and a few key players signing contracts, but this Roland masterplan probably isn't too appealing for a young lad like Poyet looking for a solid base early in his career.

are we not allowed to have a squad then ?
I didn't mean it like that... It's just Cousins can play CDM too and there are 4 young CMs in the academy waiting for their chance, so there is no lack of players in that area. I would have thought Cousins would play in Poyet's position if he got injured or that we might change the formation to not having a CDM. And although Zola has been playing in Ligue 2, I think he's highly rated. He seems like more of a replacement for Poyet than a squad signing.

You gotta have a dream, if you don't have a dream,
How you gonna have a dream come true?

With Charlton hopefully !!

I hope he won !
