You work to earn money, Football is a Job, and essentially Poyet has taken a promotion, Cant blame him. Give me a choice between 10k and 40k and I'd take 40 everytime. Really cant blame someone for bettering themselves.
It's not the difference between 10k and 40k though - I do wish people would stop comparing the ridiculous head-in-the-clouds-planet-zork world of football with going to the office five days a week, forty eight weeks a year
They guy would have been offered about10k A WEEK. That is an extraordinary amount of money for anyone, let alone a nineteen year old. I really think a lot of you don't actually understand how much that is, and what you can buy with that. Anyone can have a fabulous lifestyle on that, even better when you are getting it for doing your hobby!
I really don't see why folk feel the need to stick up for these greedy young men?
Problem also is Poyet isnt a Charlton fan he was just using the club to give him the springboard that he needed to play for better clubs.....Onwards and upwards. Personally i am only interested in players who want to play for Charlton...good luck Diego as i am sure in a few years time people will be wandering what happened to you.
It's inevitable Poyet was going to leave if we didn't get promoted to the prem in the next 12 months, what we want is for the club to get a return on their investment. We've spent 8 years developing Diego and he leaves 6 months after making his debut. If you can't see that that stinks, then I guess we're happy being a complete walkover. No ones denying we're a selling club, but that's just it, a selling club, not a "develop players for free" club.
I've said it before and said it again, if you had some one you had trained in your company for a specialist job for 7 and a half years and 6 months after their completion of the training they go to a much larger firm, you'd be furious after investing so much into some one.
Yes, I'd be furious at myself to not have the foresight to make sure they didn't leave after 6 months.
What, nail them to the chair? Don't demean your argument with silly statements Tom.
I'm gutted he's gone as I enjoyed watching him get better and better.
He's left to go on to a bigger club and its not the same as Shelvey as we are a lot better of financially now. Poyet doesn't owe the club/fans anything.

Richard Murray was quoted as saying that we needed to start selling the players we develop for a decent fee to make a profit (which of course is good and sustainable football business) and the observation has been made by many others that deals were done in the past just to get money to survive - and in the process we got put over a barrel. This is of course true. However Diego's situation is rooted in the pre-Duchatalet era so the fine print on his contract was unlikely to do us any favours at this point in time.
We should be rightly kicking ourselves as a club. The best situation is one where there is a win/win outcome for both the club and the player, so contracts should be written that give both sides a good deal.
The flip side of the Diego situation is that there are a lot of kids who get into the academy and give their all for that club, only to be dropped when they're older because they don't quite have what the club thinks is enough talent to succeed. Whilst it's easy for us to slag off Diego for making his own decision about his future, there will be some of his peers who have been let go. That may be the way that business is, but the fact remains that the club can't have it both ways! CAFC have to adopt the attitude of making things win/win or no deal.

i don't think you understand that he will be in the higher tax bracket earning that and he will be taking home £250k a year, so a 4 year contract is £1m cleared or £4m if he takes the £40k per week
one gets you a brilliant house and no food or car or anything else for the rest of your life and the other gets you a brilliant house , car, grub, school fees for your kids etc
he may earn that for 15 years or just 4 years he may turn shit , he'll prolly live for 50 years after finishing football , it's a no brainer

That's a shame, you come across as someone with quite a lot of integrity. But at least you are honest about it! :-)
Had he signed a contract and then left six months later there would be people on here suggesting he has thrown his toys at the pram and that he was scum. And as Randy suggests, if he had signed a new contract then those offers he does have would have probably gone away and he might have never got that dream move.
As for the shite being spouted about "he thinks he is better than he is", "egotistical" etc:
1) You don't even fcuking know where he is going yet 2) Maybe, just maybe, he got an offer he couldn't refuse to a club that any player at our level would die to play for. Nothing to do with ego.
Yes Tom...whatever you say...just please dont put me in your shite supporters room
the slight abuse given to Poyet in this thread is nothing compared to the abuse you give to other posters. there is no need to be so aggressive
He thinks he is better than he is because he thinks he is too good for Charlton. I think I deletes expletiveknow he is going to Chelsea... so no-one is allowed to be sad or angry about that?

Ive got plenty of integrity. But as Oooaaah points out, i want the best for my family and myself.
I'd love to keep the scarfers in the stands happy as well, but if another club can offer me a much better life (not just my playing career) once id ended my commitments here, then id snap their hands off.
I reckon i could handle being called a greedy shit.

The old "It's all about me Fammleee" line (Said in Ray Winstone's voice). Always a winner. Do you not think you could give them a pretty good start in life earning 10 grand a week at nineteen, and then a year later ten times that much when you move onto the big club that you (as Deigo) clearly think you deserve to be at?
As you say, you can handle being called a greedy little shit, I am sure he can too, so once again, why are people sticking up for him - he doesn't need it...

I'm an abusive poster? Ok, then.
Its actually frustration that some people just don't seem to grasp the fact that he is out of contract and that he has a choice in what he wants to do next. People can pipe up about Jenkinson and Shelvey all they want - doesn't necessarily mean Poyet has to follow their every move.
As I've said, nobody knows where he is going. Therefore nobody knows the circumstances behind the decision he has taken.
How do you know what he thinks about his own ability? Unless you can inform me that he has told you otherwise? If a top club come in and say "we think you're good enough to play for us", then that is all he needs.
From a playing perspective - Yes, he is too good for Charlton.
Lets get some perspective here. I know that Football is a different universe from any other industry, but we're still talking about a NINETEEN year old boy here. For idiots to be sending him messages of abuse on Twitter, I think that is pretty classless.

It's inevitable Poyet was going to leave if we didn't get promoted to the prem in the next 12 months, what we want is for the club to get a return on their investment. We've spent 8 years developing Diego and he leaves 6 months after making his debut. If you can't see that that stinks, then I guess we're happy being a complete walkover. No ones denying we're a selling club, but that's just it, a selling club, not a "develop players for free" club.

Yes, I'd be furious at myself to not have the foresight to make sure they didn't leave after 6 months.
What, nail them to the chair? Don't demean your argument with silly statements Tom.
No, but we seemed to be pretty sharp at getting contracts sorted for the likes of Joe Piggott after 1-2 appearances. A player who in my opinion has never ever looked like first team potential.
We also managed to sort out quick deals for Callum Harriott and Jordan Cousins.
We shot ourselves in the foot by not getting Diego tied down the moment he came into the team. We only have ourselves to blame.

I would say so. Considering we played him when he wasnt in contract. Basically just put him in the shop window. Shambles.
All the hard work gone into progessing the player...to not really seek the big potential benefit from it.

Well if the official statement is to be believed, the club have been negotiating with him since "early 2014", he made his debut on Jan 20th - or as one might also put it "early 2014". So they had been trying to tie him down, but he refused to be tied down.
I hope that has cleared that particular misunderstanding up?
Diego is in the unusual of having a father who not only played football to a high level but is also a manager and knows the relative power of each side of a contract negotiation very well. I am pretty sure it would have been Gus suggesting that Diego holds off til close season on signing a contract on the basis his reputation/worth was more likely to go up than down and his position would get stronger.

The official club website also tried making Yann Kermorgant look like an absolute mercenary. Ben Hamer and Michael Morrison themselves came out and said that the club has a knack of being ridiculously slow with contract negotiation.
I suspect the aspect of compensation/repaying back Charlton must have crossed Poyet's mind at some point through all of this. Whose to say that he didn't try and push something through to get us compensation, only for it to jeopardize a move altogether and then back out?

nah tom i think you are decent and always on the ball mate. sometimes you can be a bit direct but its a forum.. you carry on but strong opinions will always provoke a reaction.
i get you...we are all vexxed by this and people express their passion in different ways.
now this shite supporters club, tell me more....
is this CAST trust affiliated or renegade?
come on all you addicks....we would never have it any other way
Do you not think you could give them a pretty good start in life earning 10 grand a week at nineteen, and then a year later ten times that much when you move onto the big club that you (as Deigo) clearly think you deserve to be at?
maybe he's not sure the big club opportunity or £100k a week contract is gonna be there in a years time , hence he has to make hay why the sun shines i'm sure if someone said another year at Charlton then £100k a week 4 year contract at Arsenal/Chelsea/Man Utd is guaranteed in a years time he'd take that but that's not gonna happen
Comments
I put the blame squarely on the previous owners and on Poyet who thinks he is a world beater already.
They guy would have been offered about10k A WEEK. That is an extraordinary amount of money for anyone, let alone a nineteen year old. I really think a lot of you don't actually understand how much that is, and what you can buy with that. Anyone can have a fabulous lifestyle on that, even better when you are getting it for doing your hobby!
I really don't see why folk feel the need to stick up for these greedy young men?
19 year old Diego Poyet has played 20 games and won Player of The Year award, and was Man of The Match in the majority of games he played.
Big difference.

Didn't someone who went to school with him say it was Newcastle?
