£8 mill for Thomas!

This is in today's News of the World:

Derby and Everton are chasing Charlton midfielder Jerome Thomas — but have been rocked by the club’s £8million valuation. England Under-21 international Thomas, 24, who joined relegated Charlton from Arsenal three years ago, is desperate to get back into the Premiership. But Charlton boss Alan Pardew, having already sold Darren Bent to Tottenham for a club record £16.5million, has no need to let other players go on the cheap.

    He's an absolute bargain at 8 million played a stunner today against the gills.

    £8m? The best right footed left winger in the league. Worth double that.
  • BadgerBadger
    Exactly, great minds think a like, 8m at xmas then to derby?

    i'm glad we're notw putting silly valuations on players. Apart from Bent, we always undersell.

    We've brought in the money we need to and reduced the wage bill. It would have to be silly bids now that part us with what will be key players in the Championship, and Thomas is one of those.

    According to the NOTW we're in for Andy Cole from Pompei and Daryl Russell from Stoke.

    ...let's just hope it doesn't backfire if the bids don't come in (think "Murphy and the England call-up")...

    Watford got £9.5 million for Young and asking £5million for Bouazza.

    Seems £8million isn't to rediculous valuation on the bloke.

    Daryl Russell? Didn't he used to play for Norwich?

    I remember he did a remake of Rebel MC's Street Tuff

    'Are you a farmer ?'

    'No i'm a Londoner'

    Jerome is quality if his head is right. Even when playing badly he offers an outlet for the defence and wins free kicks.

    I think we will get a good idea of how good a manager Pards is by the way he motivates (or not) the likes of Thomas in the Championship.

    the fact that Ambrose committed to us immediately after relegation, and that Thomas is in demand, speaks volumes. Keep hold of Thomas he is one of two 'footballing talents' we have left.
  • WSSWSS
    he even acknowledged the crowd after his goal on saturday...


    ...changed man

    Still doesn't beat his man enough for me. Was a far better player two years ago in my opinion.

    I seem to remember he did a cover version of the old Who song

    Derby set to offer Thomsa a 'premiership lifeline' with a £3m bid, according to the Sun.

    Can't see it happening to be honest.
  • oohaahmortimeroohaahmortimer
    i love the figures mentioned here , i think we'd accept £2m maybe even £1.5m for him
  • TT
    Jason Kumas = £5.3 million, Ashley Young £9.5 million

    I wouldn't even be considering a bid for him for a penny less than £5million It's whats right for the club not the player, we don't need to sell, if someone wants him we should only accept a silly money offer like Watford are asking for bouatza

    Exactly. JT is the Charlton Athletic version of World class on his day when, as Len puts it, he gets his head right.
    What value to us then? Priceless!

    But then there are the other days.........

    According to today's newspaper it Derby that are interested in getting him for 3 mil.
    1) Why would anyone want to go to Derby, they must be one of the best bets to come down.
    2) CAFC can match the wage if Pards recons hes worth 8 mil.
    3) Must be worth 5 mil, if any Premier league team want him.
    4) We dont need to sell.

    Stay in the Championship, play well, get back in PL, SIMPLE
  • AFKABartramAFKABartram
    welcome 12th man, agree 100%
  • Chris_from_SidcupChris_from_Sidcup
    Can't see Thomas wanting to leave London for a team that could well be swapping divisions with us in a years time
  • markwebb25markwebb25
    agree agree agree 12th man im with you all the way

    According to today's Daily Telegraph, Birmingham are after Thomas as well now.
