  • It's a shame but I hope he chooses a club where he will get game time. I think he could play in the prem for a lower half team in terms of his skill and the fact this may lead to playing minutes. Any place he'll just sit in the reserves would be a waste for both of us. You've seen it with England's bright young generation at the WC, some of them are massively over hyped in terms of ability (Wilshere for example). I just don't want him to think he's made it off the back of a really good half season with us.
  • Thanks for the loyalty Diego...You were always going to leave
  • Good luck Diego, I just wish you had wanted to stay with us.
  • We nurtured his career from a child and managed to get 20 games out of him. Thats modern football for you.

    Gutted as he was the best prospect I have seen in a long time but we move on

    Spoke to Diego Poyet's agent earlier this week and he said #cafc were "making a big push to keep him".

    "Diego appreciates that. He has been there long time. Other teams have shown interest - home and abroad. We need to work out best solution."
  • The 'will he?' 'won't he?' saga is over!
    Would have been great to have had him for at least one more season.
    Good luck to him. I'm getting used to our best assets going :-(

  • Don't need players who don't want to be here. Wish him all the best in his upcoming reserve season. Complete waste of talent. Used us to sell himself on.

    You don't know where he's gone yet!!!!!!

    I understand people are wearing their Charlton hats and are annoyed, but take a step back and actually think about it. Its the kids job. He wants to, and can, play at a better level.

    Good luck to him.

    Fair play to us then. Can't knock the effort on our part by the sounds of it. Would have a really dim view if we treated him with contempt.

    Although I don't agree with his decision and believe it sums up the greed in the modern game, I accept it, we move on.

    Why are we a basket case club?
  • Nothing like a bit of loyalty is there. One more season wouldn't have hurt him at all, and would have guarenteed him a game each week. It would have also given the club who has taken him through youth and developed him into the player he is today the chance to get a decent fee for him, rather than a "compensation package"
  • Just wait till he signs for a Spanish club. No player and No money for us.

    Very disappointing. But if he genuinely wanted to stay he'd have signed a contract months ago

    I hope he gets a Premiership team and rots in their reserves

    Unbelievable.

    As much as I am hugely disappointed to see him go, it is patently obvious that he is too good for us. It may be that he has made a bad decision in the long term and ends up sitting on the bench somwhere, but for a Charlton fan to actively hope that is horrible.

    All the best Diego. I'm just sad I never got to see you play.

    Am I right in assuming if he goes abroad we get no development fee?

  • I hope his new club sends him back to us on a season long loan. That would be a good move for all concerned IMHO.
  • I'm playing golf with Gus in early September. I will be treading on his ball and coughing in his backswing. Fuckers!
  • On the pitch I don’t think it’s that big a loss, Cousins is similar and this will aid his development in the middle rather than on the right. The blow for me is that we’ll receive a pittance after we’ve invested years in him. One more token contract would have helped out all parties.

    Despite being anti-RD I’m not going to blame the regime either, things can’t be that bad behind the scenes if Morrison’s stayed and we do have money available so Poyet must have had a reasonable offer. It’s one of those things we’ll have to unfortunately accept and move on from.

    Hmmm,he could quite easily have done what Shelvey and Jenkinson did though. Sign a new contract so the club that nurtured them,brought them through and gave them their chance get a decent fee for all the time and money they invested. The Prem teams get enough without picking up real talent for next to nothing. He could've signed and if they really wanted him,they would've paid,everyone's happy. May seem very black and white but if Jenks and JJ could do it then pretty sure Poyet could've done. All about the £££.

    He could have done but it is pretty rare for a youngster who has signed a pro contract to be in this situation where on a free he can choose pretty much any team he wants whereas he is limited by signing a contract as certain teams may not want to pay the fee. They may be interested but Shelvey and Jenkinson were wanted by probably two of the best teams any youngster could be signed by.
  • His Career will go two ways from here , Either straight into a Top league. , break into the first team and become a success , or He'll rot away on the Bench before being loaned out to various championship clubs , Am I disappointed he's left , Yes , of course. But honestly , give me the choice between Morrison ( A player who has stated he loves the club) or Diego , Someone who didn't want to be here , it's Morrison everytime. So Diego I wish you every success , but if that fails at least you can fall back on Daddies Money... :(

    Why are we a basket case club?
    Three managers in how long? The last being given a one year contract? Hardly encourages loyalty by players does it?


  • Very disappointed, only so much the club can do. Not going to lie, i feel Diego has let us down a little bit. The club spends years nurturing him from a young age, gives him his debut and offers him a better contract, only for Diego to turn it down. Big loss.
  • I hope his new club sends him back to us on a season long loan. That would be a good move for all concerned IMHO.

    Dont think so, The amount of people who have said things on here about his loyalty I would be worried if he came back on loan at the reception he received
