    So Huddersfield get an early winger injury so Grant gets left on the bench for a foreign bloke who has struggled to score this season

    Grant isn't a winger though
    Played on the flank of a 4-3-3 for Crawley

    Doesnt matter as its 2-0 Chelsea

    He was working the channels. That doesn't make him a winger though.

    I would have kept him for promotion push and let him go free in summer. Surely the championship is worth more than 1.5 mil? Shows the ambition or lack of it for the club

    And for Karlan. He will be in the Championship next year and League One the year after that, never to be seen again.
    Harsh

    He is a young man just starting his career. I know emotions are high but don’t wish ill will on him because it doesn’t suit CAFC or you

    He may not set new records everywhere he goes but he has certainly shown some promise.

    To say never to be seen again makes you look a little silly
    Disagree, makes him look very silly

    If Shitweasel had put a CEO in charge of running our club Grant would have been on a far longer contract than the one he was on.
    Only one person to blame for him leaving.
    Good luck Karlan
    Fuck off Roland

    Grant would of just gone for more money £2.5 million + and bowyer would of still got f@ck all

    Whilst never having to work again.

    IT'S ALL ABOUT THE MONEY.

    Interesting to read on the Chelsea Match Thread (Huddersfield Forum) about him, not many comments but he won a corner straight after coming on (partly due to a heavy touch) - Apparently tried some clever runs yet got ignored for the square ball most of the time

    Think thats why he'll struggle in the Premier League for goals this season... his new team mates are getting tonked every week, they're always going to favour the safe passes rather than the risky ones because they'll be worried that the ball coming back will end up in the net again

    Well I'm amazed that a premier League club have come in for him. He's League One at best and won't get a game in the Championship.

    Nonetheless, I wish him the best of luck.

    He's 21 ffs he may well improve!! People like Simon Francis have shown that we as fans know nothing at times.
  • killerandflashkillerandflash
    A striker in a poor team creating nothing is on a hiding to nothing really, but it’s a big stepping stone for him, both financially but also as a career landmark.
    Personally I don’t think he’s good enough for that step up BUT don’t blame him for accepting the offer.

    People say Grant's not good enough for the Premier League and they might be right in the present tense. But lots of people last year were saying he's not good enough for League One and he improved. That's what Huddersfield have bought....potential. They feel he's on an upward curve and for a few quid (to them) he's worth a punt.

    We did a similar thing with Jerome Thomas. Had a punt on a young player with potential and then he took his chance.

    I don't blame Karlan for taking the money and moving to a Premier League team, however they are certainties for relegation and I can see them being in the bottom half of the championship this time next season, so it may not be as good a move as he thought.

    Anyone criticising Grant for moving is an absolute epic bell-end.

    That’s about all you need to say on the matter.

    That's football though isn't it. My brain tells me a 21 year old made his premiership debut yesterday at Stamford Bridge after running around a half empty Peterborough ground last week. But my heart (which is the part that follows Charlton) thinks he's a greedy prick that has derailed our season.

    You can't put logic and football together.

    Wonder if he’ll be back in 12 months time to charlton if it doesn’t work out for him, crazier things have happened!

    How would that work ?

    1) We don't look to pay transfer fees.

    2) Do you think he would give up his possible £1M pa wages, to come back to Charlton for say £250K pa ?

    (Very big dose of wishful thinking)

    Charlton get promoted
    Takeover in the summer
    Huddersfield slide into the championship
    As we sit in 8th spot in the chsmpionship in January 2020
    And Huddersfield continue their decline,stuck in the bottom 3 , Karlan jumps ship again for ‘his boyhood club’ and returns back to the Valley

    Would Charlton fans ever welcome him back?

    Hell yeah would always welcome him back... He didnt down tools and refuse to train etc to engineer the move - Had he done any dirty tricks like that then I'd agree with a lot of the annoyed comments about him leaving and would love to see him fail

    I'd welcome him back today :smile:

    Except if we were 8th and they were bottom three I doubt there’d be a clamour. There might be the feeling that we’d moved on.
