Not surprised if he moves on. Class player but never quite looked as if his heart was in it at Charlton. If it gives Joe Gomez a lot more playing time I think it will be a good thing overall, provided we get Joe the right partner. Not sure that is either Johnson (too slow) or Bikey (too volatile and too slow).
Joe Gomez is at the stage of his career where we have to be careful not to overplay him anyway, so it's not as if his path to the first team is being blocked by more experienced defenders
Usually, with a youngster, I would agree with you 100%. With Joe, I'm not so sure. He is such an exceptional talent, fast and strong too, that he might well be able to cope with and prosper through playing as a first choice. That would certainly accelerate his development, and of course his sale value.
Agreed and it could also delay his departure as he'll be concentrating on playing rather than sitting on the bench thinking "i could be doing this at Arsenal "
GL today on an Israeli radio today: "I understand that TBH is moving on to his next position. He's out of contract. We have a 17 years old defender who is going places".
Good riddance TBH. Awful player, awful person. Glad that Guy can see how much better will JG be.

Cant believe you signed up a year ago and kept your first post or comment bottled up for that?

TBH was crucial for us this season - really disappointed to hear that he's moving on. A quality defender, for sure.
Thought he was the most consistently solid of our three senior centre back options. Best of luck to him, he only had a one year deal and now he's fully entitled to pursue other options.
I'm not sure we can rely on Bikey & Johnson as first choices next year, ok for squad players - CB is a position that needs addressing as a priority this summer I believe, even if Gomez stays.

Congratulations. You've managed to reach the Top 100 stupid posts of 2015.
Hmm, with his first discussion and post as well! Treat with caution fellow Addicks wouldn't be surprised if this was a Pompey fan in disguise
That was Peeters' biggest error - I.e getting rid of Morro
Our defence wasn't our problem - it was as good as most. Scoring goals was the problem.
Both Bikey and Ben-Haim lost their form; morrison could do everything that Johnson could and is considerably younger. Also, a leader
Diasgree - look at last season - Morro was poor and our defence was poor. TBH did not lose form. Just my opinion, of course
Morro wasn't poor last season. Our biggest struggle was our total inability to score goals. The only thing that stopped us being cut adrift was the fact our defence stood up enough for us to squeak out some wins off the few goals we scored

Who was it playing alongside Morro last year ? I can picture him but can't remember the name.

Thanks @Beer7 it's been known for a while that TBH is moving on, but cheers. No interest why you don't like him, but you might be surprised he had been one of our better performers this season and very consistent.
Has there been much on Luzon in the Israeli press since he has joined us ?

Dorian dervite
I actually always thought Dervite was better sitting in front of the defence.
It was Leon Clarke I was thinking of (just looked up last seasons squad).
It's crazy how much our squad changes year on year, it's pretty much only Chris Solly who gets stuck with us year after year !

Point taken - just not a big fan of Morro - preferred Dervite and was sorry to see him go.
TBH a different level to Morro, imho, and will never forget my fave ever CB - Jorge Costa. Had to pinch myself when I heard we'd got him on loan - he was a proper Centre Back. Understand that was Premiership and not fair to compare.
Thanks @AFKABartram. I think TBH is like a firefighter starting fires to look like a hero when he turn just in time to put it out. His mistakes lead to heroic efforts from him.
However, there was a basic coverage of CAFC in Israel every game and a positive piece at Haaretz after the HUFC game. Last week there was a big interview with GL, a bit OTT, in which he said many positive things about the club and England.
TBH has been very good for us. Perhaps his form dipped slightly in the second half of the season (albeit not on the Bikey scale) and he was no longer an automatic choice under Guy, although I suspect all parties knew there would be a parting of the ways at the end of this season. A quality player but no real surprise that he's moving on.
We'll need some reinforcement in central defence, for sure.
Only my view, but I thought TBH was going to be crap but he isn't, and I think at his best he is a class player. We need a replacement, hopefully not called Roger Johnson who might yet stick around, but a player that has a real sense of authority.

You must be a right clever clogs.
TBH was a really good player at the start of the season, but didn't give the impression of a great organiser for youngsters.
Another example of that working was when "The Tank" played alongside a young Jonathon Fortune.
Interesting to see how the club will fill that role.
I'm not sure we can rely on Bikey & Johnson as first choices next year, ok for squad players - CB is a position that needs addressing as a priority this summer I believe, even if Gomez stays.
