I like to think this is a troll, but you never know...
Goodwin
Moderators: Admin, Ralph, asl, Robin
Not a troll... Though that's what a troll would say. Allegedly our second bid has met your valuation, info coming from ITK's our end who are in regular contact with our owners.
The last thing we need right now with numbers in the squad is to sell one of our best young talents but I mentioned weeks ago this could happen. I mean we would sell to raise funds to strengthen the overall squad.
My view is that the only way Goodwin should leave is if the offer is too good to turn down and we have a striker close to joining to replace him, his improvement this year has been massive.

It only makes sense if we have an experienced 9 in the wings and we could reinvest the rest of any feee in the other squad gaps… but then if there was one out there who would sign for us, then he’d be in the crosshairs of the other sides in the league with more money. Everyone wants a striker right now and there aren’t many out there.
If this happens then it’s putting an insane amount of pressure on Keena to come good

For anyone waking up from a period of suspended animation, yes, this is the same Will Goodwin who should have been going out on loan to National League South a few months ago.

The board have a chance to make up for last summers cock up.
Goodwin has sell on potential, another low fee would be disastrous. Charlton just spent 1 million on a kid from West ham,not saying he's worth a million but if we sell for peanuts again for a 21 year old with 18 months left on a deal then the board haven't learnt a bloody thing.
Not 250k with add ons we might get in two years. A big fee upfront with add ons,250k won't help us now in a relegation battle.

'cause Barry Fry said so.
If I was on the board I'd want a decent fee agreed shouted from the rafters, no mention of anything is not a good look for them and their look isn't too good regarding selling damn good players.
I will say this now but I highly doubt the board will hold out for £250k unless the gaffer has a strong say in it. Then they will spin it the DC was happy with the fee and could reinvest it to get new players in the building.CS85 wrote: ↑15 Jan 2024, 13:25 The board have a chance to make up for last summers cock up.

When have we ever got a decent fee for any of our players other than maybe Mo Eisa
What difference a few months make.
At the start of the season he was odds on to be the boo boys No1 target.
3 months ago one of The Nests most illustrious posters was still saying he was bang average L2 and should go out on loan until quickly becoming one of our most important players.
Can't Alfie implore Charlton to reunite him with Aiden Keena who he told everyone was going to be a sensation this season.

The other thing to consider is that Charlton seem to be throwing cash around like it's going out of fashion at the moment with no discernible influx of investment or improvement on the pitch. I know they were taken over last summer but their debt appears to have been around £20m at that time and wages were outstripping revenue.
No point having sell on clauses if they suddenly do a Reading and either go bust or sell off their players on the cheap to pay off debts.

Most fees are undisclosed these days. Pretty sure the May one was? They just end up leaking out.

This is a really good point. Charlton are......unstable to say the least. League rules do require football debts to be paid first (after taxes) so there is that level of reassurance. But if they do go pop, it would be risky.Warwickshire Robin wrote: ↑15 Jan 2024, 13:43 The other thing to consider is that Charlton seem to be throwing cash around like it's going out of fashion at the moment with no discernible influx of investment or improvement on the pitch.

I will hold my hands up and say he's improved beyond what anyone could have expected but let's be honest last season he was a totally different player.paperboy wrote: ↑15 Jan 2024, 13:40 What difference a few months make.

Any new stand will cost a lot more than £3million though.
What do people think would be a fair fee here given his age, the money Charlton are splashing around and his contractual situation perhaps around £400k upfront and a 20% sell on?Crikey that was nearly 16 years ago. Summer 2008. Gillespie wasn’t properly replaced and we got relegated the next season.
