Getting back to Charlton, those to leave Evina, Green, Pritchard, Gower, Cort, Hughes, Feely, Wood, Cook, Hollands, KOC, AA, Obika, Sordell, Jordan.
Won't miss any of those. A few leave with my thanks, most with my "thanks for nothing".
Would like to see Ghoochinejhad, and Parzyszek leave too, once we have some new players in. Maybe on loan if no-one will give them a permanent. Nego and Ulien-Thuram too. Please don't tell me they are on contract?
After flopping on loan elsewhere, Hollands seems to be thriving at Portsmouth (hat-trick on Saturday, but playing well before that too). Too late for a comeback at Charlton, I'm afraid. One of our best players until those triplets arrived. Good luck to him.
Also to Pritchard who always gave 100%. He will probably end up wherever CP does if Div One or Div Two, with a career in admin to follow. Better educated than your average footballer.
Not sure why Obika was signed if they didn't play him. I assumed it was "on trial" for a permanent contract. Maybe he didn't impress in training.
I hope Muldoon and Osborne get new contracts.
Surely Osborne just signed for another year?
Whether Hamer, Poyet, Morrison and Dervite sign new contracts I don't know.
You don't mention Wilson, my Player of the Year. I think his contract has expired?

On top of that, some players on contract might force a move elsewhere if they can better themselves (Wiggins, Cousins, Harriott). These days if a player is hell-bent on leaving it is hard to keep him as we saw with Stephens. And as the examples of Stephens and Sordell illustrate, if that is the case it is better to sell when his value is highest, as it might fall it he sulks and loses his edge.
Of course, if RD invests generously and wisely and the team is doing well, players may not wish to leave. But having seen the crazy sale of Kermorgant and the eurotrash he brought in, I am not too confident that will happen.
Whatever, we are in for a massive rebuild. CP pulled it off brilliantly, but most clubs struggle for a season (or more).
