    Seeing as he has the turning circle of an oil tanker I expect semiphor...

    This does make announcing "the list" a bit pointless.

    Real shame that.. I thought he was a good players, created chances and could score. Unfortunately Adkins didn’t rate him, and wants to bring his own players in.

    Was surprised at how little he played once Adkins came in, thought he was more than capable of being at least in the matchday squad, if not a starter if he found some consistency,  guess he doesn't fit in with Adkins desired style of play. Shame as he was likable as well, wish him all the best

    Updated Charlton life signing criteria 

    We need to bin off all our players, even the ones under contract because they are all shit.

    We can't sign a player if they finished below us because they must be even more shit.

    No one over the age of 28 because they are passed it and only looking for one last pay day.

    No free transfers because they are obviously rubbish and no loans.

    No one that has ever been to Demark


    No loans because you can’t build a long term squad with loans
    I have to say I agree with that one.
    I would still have some loans but not 5.

    I would loan a premier league youngster as 4th choice centre back to allow barker u-23 time or a conference loan. 
    You might, I doubt they would.

    Hi Pep it's Nigle Adkins here, trust you slept well, can I borrow one of your kids to be 4th choice?  Hello, hello, anyone there? 
    When you explain it like that 😂

    being in and around men’s football, being part of the squad, might be appealing rather than u-18 football? Or am I digging a bigger hole?
    They could do that at their own clubs.

    The parent clubs want them to play just as we do when we loan young players out.

    Alex Pritchard, although only 28, is giving me far too many Ben Watson vibes. If he has a renewed hunger to perform then I’m all for it but that’s a big question mark IMO.
    He is closer in age to Albie Morgan than Ben Watson..... 
    You can be as young as you want but I don’t want you if you’re just here to go through the motions. That certainly seems to be the case for Pritchard at Huddersfield recently. My point was less about age and more about desire, sorry if it wasn’t obvious.

    Gutted about Shinnie . Someone is getting a good player there . Let’s hope it’s not one of our rivals

    Pity about it Shinnie, I thought he could do a good job under Adkins, I liked him as a player. Let's hope we have some excellent players lined up.

    LonelyNorthernAddick Posts: 2,423
    So we've lost Pratley, Shinnie, Smith (Loan) and JFC (until Xmas) in the centre of the park - we're bound to have our eyes on at least one or two CMs, but also could signal Morgan having a more prominent role in the team next year maybe?

    Maybe that's just me being hopeful as I'd love to see him getting more game time

    Shame about Shinnie, good player. Time for Morgan to step up in that case.

    Interesting that player departures are being announced by the players first, rather than the club. I guess it's more "polite" for the club to do the formal statement on Friday, and let the players do their own announcement beforehand if they wish

    Shinnie is more than capable at this level and is one of our better players. Real shame he never really got a chance under Adkins but I trust the process and will back the direction we are going in regardless. Good luck to Shinnie, hopefully one of our promotion rivals don't get him but I think they will.

    I think Shinnie's biggest problem was the lack of pace and attacking intent in our fullbacks. With pacy fullbacks who get forward a lot and are a big part of the attack he has more space and options to create and ends up dictating a lot more of the play. Without those overlapping options out wide our play was a lot more stodgy and narrow, and his lack of pace got exposed when everything came through the middle. Still a good player though, I enjoyed having him

    Would be a mistake, showed he's capable over the last couple of games of this season

    Agree. He's never going to become the consistent player at this level we want him to be if we don't let him play regularly.

    He also fits the Adkins mould of young developing players.

    I think he'll be a key part of our midfield this year.

    Imagine him on regular set pieces with Innis, Stockley and possibly Famewo attacking them.

    He has been suck between a rock and a hard place for two years now, through no fault of his own.

    He needs a long run of games to develop the consistency and he hasn't had them because of lack of consistency.  Not only his BTW. 

    Hopefully with different players around him he can get that run and nail down the shirt as his own.

    He should be. Best passer of the ball we have......might not track back enough but I'm not bothered about that unless Watson can score a screamer or Amos take a corner.

    Didn't think that Shinnie would be one of the releases, sounds a little bit bitter on the instagram message, he seemed to be a reliable player and one to keep, we could be looking at the thin end of the wedge here, and maybe some shocks when the list is official.

    There won't be any shocks unless we pay off some players who are under contract.

    He was ok, but didn’t particularly shine. Don’t think he is the one to rely on when we’re looking for promotion. Probably another loan of lots of games is best.

    Morgan been around the first team for a few seasons now. Next season he needs to prove he is worth a starting place in a L1 side.

    Albie didn't shine in the last couple of games? You kidding?

    7.28 & second to Maatsen against the league leaders & 7.74 and an assist against Lincoln another decent side for this level

    Also got an assist on his first corner against Accrington looking bright throughout that performance too.
