Not upset.. he is no better than Jacko, and we have adequate cover in Jackson, Djiksteel, Lapsile, Aribo and Konsa.. I would imagine even Solly could do a job for the odd game
Makes you wonder why he activated the clause for an extra year in his contract.
If you can take advantage of someone who is wet behind the earholes and naive when it comes to football contract negotiations, then you would be a fool not to activate that clause.
Bet he walked away with a handsome figure, just in case his move to Gillingham does not happen. They do appear to have a vacancy in centre midfield after Joshua quit. Plus not to far to travel, living in the medway area.
This will split our drinking debates big time, like everyone half like him and half don't, personally I think coming on in the second half as required was ideal so it's a good luck Crofty I'm gonna miss you up to a point.
We've shifted so much dead weight and made some brilliant signings. We are probably one striker short, but that aside it's been a wonderful transfer window. I feel so satisfied. Losing Novak and Crofts was like popping two huge subcutaneous pimples that have been bothering you for ages

Crofts does a job, but his "Charlton Life scores" last season were consistently poor, so he isn't a great loss. Nice to have around, and a good pro though etc
Good business and keeps Konsa, Anfernee and Aribo happy.
Think we need to listen to Henry here. With the approach for Dijksteel it's clear he has suitors and it seems he wants first team games. He has looked absolute quality and seems ready to make the step up. Moving Crofts on almost ensures him proper game time. Yes, ideally he'd have more experience but I really think with him it's a case of if you're good enough you're old enough.
Also worth noting JFC can playing in the holding role quite well, should Kashi get hurt. That would leave Konsa and Aribo competing for the other role. Plus there's still RCC.
For all the times this regime has over-relied on youth, I don't think this is one of them. I think we have the players and they're ready.
I'm glad both Crofts and Novak have gone as they were awful. But why oh why do these idiots in charge do it now rather then in the summer. Why waste time given them a pre season, letting them play in cup comps etc. Robinson obviously knows they are deadwood so this last minute shit never makes sense. If we sign can sign Wright and an unattached striker ASAP then great, if not they are still a bunch of clueless idiots. I'm betting on not.
I make us short in CB or CM, or does this mean Lapslie will step up?
Bauer/Sarr Pearce/Konsa
Kashi/? JFC/Aribo
Doesn't Reeves fit into CM I know he can play the 10 but he can also play CM
You can't have too many players covering multiple positions, if that was the case then you'd need Dion Dublin and phill jones then your squad is complete. Two for each position has to be the very minimum.
From reading what Robinson said about him going somewhere soon maybe a club came in for him last night but didn't have time for the transfer to go through (presumably a free transfer) so Crofts asked to leave as he would get first team football for his last year or two playing so most likely took a small sum instead of the rest of his years wage.

Short memory, some of you.
Who would have thought, after the end of last season, that Joe Aribo wouldn't have been a regular starter this one?
I actually preferred Kevin Foley anyway!

That's what AS Nancy got on 1st September 2016 in Alou Diarra.
In fact, was released by Charlton, after being photographed in drag on a night out with O'Hara. I'm not saying the two events are related, but...
So, any bets that Wright won't rock up as Billericay's next big signing?
That or a Kent Conference or Conference South club I reckon.

Crofts straightaway offered: "If they want you that badly, I'll drive you there".
"Good idea", chipped in Robbo. "And you might as well stay there, 'cos I'm clearing out all the deadwood".
