Charlton Athletic FC @CAFCofficial 14m14 minutes ago Charlton U23 starting XI | Mitov; Assiana, Teixeira, Thomas, Edwards; Carter, Lapslie, Ba; Hackett-Fairchild, Yamfam, Umerah. #cafc Subs | C Thomas, Bowry, Millar, Sarpong-Wiredu, Bah. #cafc It finished Charlton 3 Wimbledon 3. We went 3-0 up with two goals from Texeire and one from Umerah. We gave away two penalties and conceded another one near the end. Aribo, Hanlan, Charles- Cook, and Djikisteel didn't play. I would think they will play against Crawley.
Why is Texeire banished to the U23's, did he inadvertently pass forward rather than sideways or back in training ?
Texeira's agent was hawking him around the Championship clubs before the window closed. But he had no takers because of his high salary and length of contract. Slade only wants players who are committed to Charlton. Ba was trying to get his contract cancelled before the transfer window closed but the Club wouldn't play ball. Apparently he is desperate to go.
I was saying this the other day, which is my criticism of certain footballers. Surely if you want to attract "bigger" clubs the best way to do that is to play. And put 100% in every game, to be spoken about. To prove that you're good and why you command that wage. Not whimper into the void, then thrown onto the junk heap.
