He did get that hamstring injury and then had another knee issueDazzler21 said:Yeah he played one game all season that year.
This last season felt like he was injured, but in reality he was just not as good as Gallagher or Cullen or Field and didn't manage the game as well as Pratley. Was seriously good in the game at Fulham at left back though.
He definitely would have played a lot more without those injuries, even if wasn't at the level of Gallagher as an attacking central midfielder0 -
I appreciate any player that commits to us at the moment and if he can keep clear from the niggling injuries, he will be a cut above a lot of competitor midfielders in the division.2

Agree, and being to first one makes it even better.Pavoren007 said:I appreciate any player that commits to us at the moment and if he can keep clear from the niggling injuries, he will be a cut above a lot of competitor midfielders in the division.Forster-Caskey my new favourite Charlton player.7 -
Good news well done Jake0

It’s fine so long as you balance the books. As players leave, their wages become available.Showmetheway2gohome said:thought bowyer said senior players could not sign because of the embargo0 -
What was a tiny Championship budget is perfectly decent at L1 level, indeed normally you'd expect a relegated side to cut their wage budget anyway0

I take it that he would not be able to attract an equivalent / better deal elsewhere.Chris_from_Sidcup said:Bloke must be either mad or desperate to sign up with us for another year.

I think bowyer got it wrong. I don’t see how legally the efl can stop us offering out of contract players new deals.Showmetheway2gohome said:thought bowyer said senior players could not sign because of the embargo1 -

We all dream of a team of Forster-Caskeys!
As least we’d better because he might be the only one left by September 12!
As others have said, he’s a decent player who did well in League 1 last time, when fit. If the rest of the squad is his level, and of course assuming we even allowed to compete, we likely stand a chance of making the play offs.4 -

Not quite sure he has a guaranteed year! He's obviously more optimistic than me!killerandflash said:Good news. Interesting that in this case it's the player who had the power to exercise an option, rather than the club. I imagine he saw the chaos surrounding football and decided that having a guaranteed year was safer than risking trying to find a new club
Keep him fit, and he's a good player at L1 level, and a decent squad player in the Championship

Yeah my comment was more tongue in cheek. I get why he's signed, and i'm happy he has.AFKABartram said:

I wonder if new contracts now factor in covid breaks ?0

Not much chance of that with all the loans returning to their clubs, as we'll now be looking as a lower/cheaper calibre of loan. Plus the likes of Taylor, Hemed, Williams, Matthews and Page all going.ForeverAddickted said:

Can't imagine Sarr staying either unless it's for less money as he was on a decent wage.0 -
Can he play in goal...?0

Nice

Not bad but compared to last time in L1 when we had Cullen, Beilik, Aribo and Williams it is one mega step down.Chris_from_Sidcup said:Bloke must be either mad or desperate to sign up with us for another year.
@killerandflash is probably spot on though, easy to do that than take the gamble of finding somewhere else in these uncertain times.
Very happy he has signed though. Him, Morgan, Pratley and Oztumer is a decent league one midfield.2 -
It is, but, shitty as it is, given the circumstances around the club right now, we should all be delighted if in a year’s time the club a) still exists and b) has not dropped any further down the leagues. I’d take a mid table League 1 finish right now.Athletico Charlton said:

Good news when the possible alternative is 16 year olds.4

If we are still around, who knows who we might have signed before the window closes...0 -
Agreed. He’s not someone I really rate personally, but at league one level he’ll probably get by. For me, if we do survive to participate in Sep, I’m very much envisaging a team like the one Bolton had to put out for most of last season. Youngsters. Any moderate level of an in experiences pro will be most welcomeCovered End said:Good news when the possible alternative is 16 year olds.
I just don’t see us starting the next season as a going concern1 -
Irrelevant as we won't be football playing next season, but I'd have let him go.
Not interested in players such as Forster-Caskey and Page who are permanently injured.1 -
As mentionrd earlier, his best game by far was away at Fulham.0

When fit a class player at League one level although not the quickest . A top bloke as well .0
-
I feel like I'm in the minority here, a lot of negative comments, but I think he's a classy player. Bowyer improved him, got him into the box and scoring goals. He's got a good pass and can swing a corner or free kick in. Happy he has another year after a terribly unlucky injury. Could be a very important player next year. Good lad Jake. COYA5

Totally agree. Pace is obviously an issue, but other than that I think will be a key player next season.YTS1978 said:I feel like I'm in the minority here, a lot of negative comments, but I think he's a classy player.

Hats off to Jake for sticking by the club and showing his appreciation to us fans. Here's hoping he can stay clear of injury and lead us to better things.0
