KR includes him in his list of signings in January, but then didn't play him for 2/3 monthscafc_harry said:
Very bizarre to pick on Da Silva. He started playing and we started winning. It was the games we wasted on Page that cost us. I'd say Da Silva is a strong contender for our best player when he played.Valiantphil said:

Pearce is the guy we missed, and we sold a LB to Wendies and replaced him with a 5 foot loanee.
If the club sell Holmes then KR will have no grounds for spouting any top six ambitions, and the "board" will just show that they have not learned from the YK mistake they made on day one.1 -
Without Ricky Holmes this season, I think we'd now be preparing for life in League 2 next season.
He's only got one more year on his contract, so unless the club offer him an extension on acceptable terms, I can't see the inept and clueless Meire and Duchatelet allowing his present deal to run down. They have, since January 2014, demonstrated zero interest in retaining our best players, notwithstanding the fact that this is plainly a pre-requisite for building a successful side.
The short-term duration of Holmes' deal is brutally ironic, when Nabby Sarr, Teixeira and Vetokele have 3, 3 and 2 years respectively to run on their lucrative contracts. Collectively, their wages have been estimated to be costing Charlton around £1.4 million p.a. (£1.8 million if you add Tony Watt).9 -
Only 6 teams conceded less than usValiantphil said:

Da Silva is infinitely better than Fox
Just saying
Our inability to score is what's cost us

Hmm, remind me, is Da Silva on a permanent contract? Are we likely to see him again?0

Holmes will get a new deal, the same was done with JBG and Cousins to keep them for one more season.0

Our POTY has always left the following summer in recent times. Can't see it being any different this time personally.0

To be fair they did let Cousins win it twice before selling him...3 -
As Holmes is now 29 & a southerner, I'd like to think he'll stay if we pay him what he deserves.8

I hope you are right - he's worth the price of a ticket on his own...Henry Irving said:

I think it only depends on how much is offered for Holmes. If it's more than £750,000 he'l be gone.0

As said before. Holmes is today's Yann Kermogant. Without him we're nothing. Surely we can't make the same mistake again. Give him what he deserves or spend a fortune and fail when trying to replace him.8

Probably would have got relegated without him. He is a delightful player to watch. Keep him and build the squad around him.2
-
think we'll get another year out of him at least0

Can't see why Holmes would want to stay? Short of a massive increase in wages why would he want to be here?1

Can't believe my club Charlton Athletic are fighting keep Ricky bloomin' Holmes.2
-
I'd leave if I was Ricky, or get a decent pay rise. Probably his only shot at Championship football.1

he is fairly local in Southend so might prefer now at his age to be back near family, with a wage increase can see him staying.hoof_it_up_to_benty said:Can't see why Holmes would want to stay? Short of a massive increase in wages why would he want to be here?
