Why are we so obsessed with terminating contracts? I'm sure we could have got a little bit of money for Moussa but instead we're just drawing a line under another failed bit of transfer policy. Vaz Te was a total waste, Williams is shuffled off after having one of the worst months in a Charlton shirt that I can remember and we just shrug at the thought of Moussa. Great, well done everyone.
There had better be some good signings coming in because all we've done here is clear up the mystery wage budget a bit, which quite frankly, knowing our finances are in good health, I couldn't care less about. A striker and a winger please
Most clubs terminate contracts, there's no way Vaz Te or Moussa would get a fee anyway
To be fair, at the time Moussa seemed a decent signing. He had plenty of English experience having been over here most of his life, and had been good for Coventry the previous season.
I was delighted with the signing of Moussa at the time and to be honest I'm not hugely happy we've shuffled him off. He's never got a run in the side but he's skilful and direct and he's been horribly affected by injury. We could have got some use out of him this season and then reviewed in the summer. Instead we've guaranteed it goes down as a failure of a signing, which rumours indicate we're doing with Ceballos too.
I'm inclined to agree there is a player in there, I liked him, but there may be more to it than just not rating his ability - he's been injured a lot so perhaps the club feel they can't get him fit and that he's always going to be injury prone. If that was the case it'd be a reasonable decision considering the flack they took this year for signing players not up to the physical demands of the Championship.
Even with a rich owner like Roland, it's not fair to insist on a bottomless pit of money for the club to spend, so there has to be a budget and all budgets force compromise of some kind. Moussa has hardly been a key figure, Bergdich has shown a bit of form in the last couple of weeks and, when both on form, Harriot and Moussa are comparable players. Sacrificing an inconsistent, injury prone, reserve winger to make some room in the budget for new signings is not that mad a decision.
i feel for moussa as it seems to have become an absolute disaster chapter of his career. Just couldn't quite break into the team under peeters when we were doing well and then got badly injured. Good luck to him.
Vaz Te though... who the hell thought getting him on a contract was a good idea?
Signing and releasing Vaz Te in a matter of weeks sums this regime up in one.
I thought this was a good signing at the time as did a large number of posters on this site!
I think I saw his first game for us - he looked sharp
Think that one was on the TV wasn't it? He did look sharp, doesn't seem to have pushed on though.
To be fair, though, it's not the fans job to identify good signings - his track record suggested he could do the business in this league so most fans would think he's potentially a good signing, but unless there have been publicized incidents then we're not really in a position to judge their temperament.
Vaz Te was signed in desperation though because the club didn't get enough good players in in the summer, plus the whole Watt saga. Now Igor is fit, we don't need Vaz Te.
Signed till end of season - I thought he looked good in his first game but went downhill from there - now frees up the no.2 shirt for the long awaited RB cover for Solly
Well, I'm glad they got rid of Vaz Te. He was unemployed before for a reason and Charlton have wasted a load of money to find out why. More quality scouting! Who is the numbnuts selecting players like this?
Better fire up the divisive players thread. I know he has a bit of a comedy reputation, but he's not without ability and would give us an option to play as a lone striker if wanted to go one up front for certain games. Igor is bit on the small side and Big Mak maybe not mobile enough.

Please no. Not without ability? damning with faint praise - He's bloody awful!
