If Potts is any good why is he still looking for a club ?
Maybe he has a deal "in principle" he's happy with, he likes to work with Jones so he's happy to wait? It doesn't necessarily mean that he couldn't go elsewhere, but he's not needing sign anything in a hurry just now.
If he isn't already, I think Small should be looking seriously at our offer of an extended contract.
The guy thinks he is something he ain't, and he'd better get a shift on and sort out this contract fiasco asap, 'cos I can't see Nathan hanging around much longer before he gets rid...🙄
I wasn't at the game last night but posters who were seem unanimous in their opinion of Small's poor performance. That performance may mean nothing but it may add to the feeling that Small is probably looking at his next move, which he surely believes is higher up the pyramid, his problem is to whom and it's probably a problem for Charlton as to when. I don't think it's in anyone's interest to have a player in the squad who is not committed and with the window closing in 16 days time we need to move him on now but once again it's about finding the right buyer. I also think that he is good enough to grace a top championship side or even lower half Premiership but Thierry needs to be playing, not bench warming.
Are you saying he deliberately played poorly? For the life of me, I can’t see why he would do that if he’s looking to get a significant move lined up. There were quite possibly a few scouts at last night’s game…..in which case he can’t possibly have done himself any favours.🧐
Read the second and third line SoundAsaf, 'that performance may mean nothing but it may add to the feeling that Small is probably looking at his next move' I didn't say he didn't try but his performance may give the impression that his eyes are elsewhere. My opinion is that I cannot see a player of his age and his quality playing second fiddle to Josh Edwards, I can't see how they would both fit in to the current line up, unless Nathan Jones has a brain storm and plays with Thierry Small as a winger, with all that said if you want an example of a contract offered, rejected, and the said key player being moved out of the club before contracts end, try Corey Blackett Taylor or with a slight difference George Dobson. Charlton know that they can't match Thierry Small's wage demands, they also know that in moving him on they would not only get, hopefully a decent fee but free up a considerable salary. It's a shame but that's modern day football for you.

Because he been in Dubai getting fit ..
Fancy going all that way bet he wishes he knew somewhere in SE London which has got decent training facilities........ sorry, couldn't stop myself.....
Weird one because looking at him I'd have assumed he'd have much better suitors than League One, and we already have players in his position that we have paid significant money for.
£1.5m was the figure mentioned by press when Southampton were linked with him in January. I’d be surprised if had that left to go on 1 player.
From the beginning of our ownership our mantra has been ‘actions rather than words’, but there is still so much to do. Our collective aim is for Charlton to become the most cohesive and sustainable community-driven club in the UK competing at an elite level. Doubtless there will be ups and downs along the way, but in an era of strict revenue-based cost controls your club’s potential will only be achieved with your active support and engagement. That is now what we respectfully request.
