I love the way the picture shows the team walking away from him. Nicely done!
If you were a half decent player would you be happy to sit and play with the kids? Or would you take the settlement and sign for someone on a Bosman and kick start your career. The fact he is content to sit back and get paid to not play tells me a lot about him as a person. By the age of 23 he should have a lot more than 50 appearances under his belt and this, I suspect, is part of the reason the manager(s) don't rate him.
Spin from club about him turning down a settlement IMHO.
Will provoke "greedy bastard can feck off" responses when in reality it's yet another bad signing from Driesen and Meire that they can't move on.
Greedy bastard... Would have been more than what any of us earn no doubt and the player would have been free to find a club where he can actually play football and be paid for doing that!!
Not the players fault. We signed him and we gave him the contract. If he and his agent can't get a deal elsewhere and I can't believe they haven't tried then I don't blame him for sitting tight. I doubt the "payoff" matches the contract. I would imagine his confidence is shot to bits anyway.
Another example of the completely ridiculous way the club scouts players.

Not sure if this is a serious comment but if I was a League Two quality player who in the market could command a £1K per week, 2 year contract but some plonker had given me a 5 year contract on £5K a week which had 3.5 years to go and was now offering me £50K to leave early I would probably sit tight.
Of course, all my numbers above are made up but the thing is we do not know the finances to put the thing into context so should definitely not be jumping to conclusions about a players attitude here.
How many players have we paid off since Roland has taken over?
Lepoint Tucheaden Diarra Bikey
We agreed to cancel Diarra's contract because he wanted to go back to France, highly doubt that involved us paying him anything. Although having said that if KM was involved in the negotiation we may well have done!

No, he told Katrien he was retiring, then turned up in France.
We would probably have paid RoJo off if it wasnt for injuries to Lennon and Pearce
No idea how he's still here.
Because unlike the likes of Ba and PP, his issues weren't related to his football suitability. While not a desirable option, he's perfectly capable of doing a job for us in L1

Dont blame him in this case. would do a job for us, but the club would rather screw him over to get him to leave.
ROFLMAO What? Are you his agent? You have seen his appearances for Charlton? Which job could he do? Ball boy? Water boy? Kit man? I agree it ain't entirely his fault he got recruited to a post for which he is unequipped. That his current employer is tied in to paying him many multiples of his worth and for years to come, must be very pleasing indeed. However if he has any ambition to a career in professional football, then he needs to be playing, frankly anywhere at any level, just to be in the shop window. Next week he's in limbo again wasting another 6 months. The fact that Roly is p!ss!ng wheelbarrows of cash down this particular drain raises conflicting emotions but most of all I hope Charlton hasn't fallen to a level at which even Ba might be serviceable before his megabucks contract runs out. But of course I'm just another unintelligent activist without de cloob's interests at heart.

We don't know his exact circumstances but By not playing he is irreparably damaging his future career. Clubs won't touch with a barge pole him because he's proving he doesn't trust his ability and is more interested in money. If he was on a ridiculous contract then maybe it's more understandable but it's unlikely to be life altering even with our owners. He should be at the peak of his powers right now and he's knocking about with the u18's of a middling 3rd tier club.

Ba still with us.

My guess would be when we've moved Ajose and/or Ba on
most likely marquee signing in my opinion
What? Are you his agent?
