Quite rightly so. If we had XI players like him I doubt we'd be in this mess, even with KM at the helm!Fanny Fanackapan said:
I've been told he is one of the top earners at our club.....The Red Robin said:Why would you want to ship Solly out?! Quite easily our most consistent player for years now. It can only be money orientated. It certainly explains his dip in form around about that time. Very unlike him.

Little Chris has got a good leap on him for someone only 5ft 2 you know!Briston_Addick said:

The player who I spoke to told me that Justin Edinburgh had announced after a training session that they'd agreed a deal with Charlton and Chris just had to sign the deal off and he would have joined till the end of the season.Off_it said:My God, is this true? They wanted to send Solly out to Gillingham?
Just when you think the jokers couldn't be any more farcical.......
Solly told them to f**k off when it was floated with him.57 -
I should hope so Gillingham is a shit hole.Clem_Snide said:

Quit bitching and enjoy the edge-of-the-sofa entertainment that comes with the pie-cam..Hovi's Biscuit said:

Good business sense on one level, but do the Bel ends realise that football is part of the entertainment business rather than just business? They have to offer the customer more than low, low prices (with a nice margin on the side)
Sadly, they seem to grasp there's an element of entertainment to the football business - but don't understand what it actually means.0 -
The interview he gave at Huddersfield wentndown like a cup of cold sick at board level. It wasn't "approved". He is seen as a problem and the SMT have been actively trying to move him on for sometime.Mendonca In Asdas said:Any news on why Hendo was not in the first team?

I'll add that Gillingham did not approach Charlton. Chris was actively being hawked around behind his back.Airman Brown said:

It's no surprise I guess considering they did the same thing to Morrison and Igor.Clem_Snide said:

They have always thought they could treat players like commodities to be traded. So wrong on so many levels.24

If a senior player misses a couple of games, Roland wants him off the books. He pretty said as much when he was over here and the situation with Watt, Vetokele, Morrison and now Solly proves the point. It is a another crackpot theory and one which will ensure more failure next season if they don't fuck off.6

And here I was thinking it was nice we had some cover at RB with the option to play a defensively minded player (Solly) or an attacking one (Motta) as needed.
To clarify something on Morrison, didn't he ask to go because he wasn't playing? That's not to say letting him go on a free was a good idea, but it's different if it's at the player's request.0 -
They tried pushing him out to some random club in Romania.SDAddick said:And here I was thinking it was nice we had some cover at RB with the option to play a defensively minded player (Solly) or an attacking one (Motta) as needed.

Gulp! I do not like the sound of that. Fanny knows something.Fanny Fanackapan said:
Are you sure about that ?ElfsborgAddick said:
Only Solly as nobody will touch him because of his knees.Sir Chrissy said:
Which potential 'one club players' are you referring to Fanny ?Fanny Fanackapan said:
Good to hear your words, MrLargo and those of a couple of other posters in a similar vein.MrLargo said:
Feel a lot more sympathetic to them after reading the comments on here. I think it would be a shame if the POTY award was hijacked and loads of people voted for Rhys Williams, as has been suggested before. Won't even register with Roland and Katrien, and harsh on the likes of Cousins, Solly, Teixera, Bauer, etc, who have put the effort in during the season and only find themselves part of a side that's been relegated because of what's gone on over there heads.Davo55 said:Don't want to re-open the whole POTY dinner debate but these reports from Henry and others suggest that the players are much more likely than we might have thought to want to engage with fans, even after such a difficult season.
The POTY dinner won't be hijacked- of that I'm certain - but it is a sad reflection on the mantra of "Support the team, NOT the regime" when regular attendees decide not to come this time. Forget the money" given" to the club - this is the time to assure our players that we're in this together.
I wish more fans could have met the players last night as I believe opinions would have changed after speaking with them.
This may well be the last opportunity supporters have to speak with some of our favourites & indeed stalwarts that we might have expected to be "one club players" if it wasn't for the antics of the Belgian spoilers.
Tickets for the dinner will be on sale until close of business next Wednesday so there's still time to book your place.
You know it makes sense.
Oh and at this stage, there is no indication as to whether our CEO will be in attendance, or not....
Naff all wrong with Solly's knees that can't be managed anyway. 73 appearances over the last 2 seasons - he can swap his knees with mine anytime he likes.

I'll never forgive them for the treatment of him

When did Solly last sign new contract? Perhaps in his contract, he has a clause that he makes X number of appearances he, gets an extension with a pay rise. So STM wanted him out to stop this happening.Fanny Fanackapan said:

Or perhaps most of them know they are on their way out in the summer, either by desire or because the club will get rid of them?AFKABartram said:Players are extremely well versed in what to say / what not to say, and the fact what they say will pretty soon go out on social media these days.
It's quite telling they were so open

Solly's good fortune for the future then.Clem_Snide said:
Gillingham have a different opinion to you. If Mr Solly hadn't told Meire et al to go forth and multiply in January, I am reliably informed (by a member of the Gillingham first team) that a deal was "done" to send him there on loan - the deal was done behind Mr Solly's back.ElfsborgAddick said:

Btw, outrageous that squirrel face thinks Solly is division 3 standard.3 -
Hearing and reading this information from people at the dinner and those who have their 'ear to the ground', makes me wonder why even more of the players haven't spoken out before! She treats them so insultingly that they would be better off moving on instead of being led by a petulant teenager.
I thought KM couldn't sink any lower in my estimation but I was so sadly wrong. I feel even more sadness for the loyal players like Solly, Cousins, Hendo and Jackson, plus the youngsters who are having to face this negativity instead of enjoying the honour of stepping up to play in the first team. It has certainly undermined a lot of them, like KAG and THD.
We want Roland OUT and Squirrel Face!3 -
Players in general are very candid in what they say to fans, but it appears they are so hacked off with that woman and the rant, that they will tell warts and all to anyone that cares to listen.
Does anyone (with an iq over 60) still want the owner and his cronies to stay?2 -
Colin does

So Gillingham can afford Solly but Duchatelet has decided we can't. Perhaps if they didn't waste money on crap like Lepoint, Reza, Nego and Tucudean it wouldn't be a self-imposed problem.
The sooner we get rid of Duchatelet the better, before he causes any further devastation.15
