If he's waiting for a 'life changing' move I doubt we'd be offering that kind of money. Like you say though, a good player, emphatic finisher. Probably out of our bracket though.Good player him, we were linked with him when Pressley was in charge. He'd be a good signing, something of the Leon Clark about him though I doubt it is us that is interested.
Well, signing for us would be a ‘life changing’ move. Just Probably not the sort of changes he’d have hoped for.If he's waiting for a 'life changing' move I doubt we'd be offering that kind of money. Like you say though, a good player, emphatic finisher. Probably out of our bracket though.
I doubt if he's got a lot left in him anyway. He's 30 now. If he was 23 - 25, I'd say snap him up, but now just let the spoilt brat get on with it!
Anyone who chooses not to play whilst under contract..ie Lyle, should not be a target for our club.
It show a distinct lack of loyalty to his club and teammates.
By not playing, his club and teammates may get relegated, and this may adversely affect their futures.
It's a very selfish decision by him.
Pay for your own insurance ?So, your contract has 4 weeks to run. You had assumed you would have finished the season 4 weeks ago. You have signed a contract with another club on double the salary for 3 years from July 1st. This is your last chance of a contract of this type and size for the remainder of your career. It will set you and your family up for the next 10 years. Your current club (Charlton) will not cover the cost of your insurance if you get injured and jeopardize your new contract.
What would you do ????
If they start on June 20 he will only be under contract for 10 days, there's no way they're completing all the remaining games in 10 days so the reality is they are asking players to play without a contract.Anyone who chooses not to play whilst under contract..ie Lyle, should not be a target for our club.

Legally he has signed a contract (in exchange for quite a lucrative wage), and should fulfil that contract unless injured...which he is not.If they start on June 20 he will only be under contract for 10 days, there's no way they're completing all the remaining games in 10 days so the reality is they are asking players to play without a contract.
So what happens if he plays and gets a career ending injury?

You'd force a player that doesn't want to play in a maximum of what, 2 games, before his contract expires? Are you sure players in that situation would be giving it 100% rather than being primarily concerned in ensuring they don't pick up an injury?Legally he has signed a contract (in exchange for quite a lucrative wage), and should fulfil that contract unless injured...which he is not.
He would have be the first to kick off if the club had arbitrarily broken the contract by say, not paying him for the last 10 days of his contract because he hadn't played.
He shouldn't need to be 'forced' to play.You'd force a player that doesn't want to play in a maximum of what, 2 games, before his contract expires?
11 in 22 this season, 11 goals in every 146 minutes. That's excellent. Whether sustainable who knows.Not sure the championship is his level anyway.
Turns out 3 Charlton players are unwilling to play
