Football (playing before my leg fell off & I got fat, just watch & coach it now), Boxing & supporter of The Mighty Charlton since the day I was born 💪🏽⚽️🥊
The uncertainty is who buys Alfie May and at what price - The certainty is, Charlton are selling the golden boot winner and someone who's scored 66 goals in three seasons. #Cafc
Crawley got 600k for Orsi from Burton. A 28yo who's only played L2 football for 2 seasons & scored 20+ goals once.
May... 3 seasons of 20+ goals in L1, 775k take off the sell on to Cheltenham & we'll do well to get the 600k Crawley did.
We've had our pants pulled down #cafc
@uptheaddicks9 Agreed... accountability is all I want mate. If Jones doesn't want May, let him come out publicly and say that. Then if this gamble works or fails us the fans know who to hold accountable.
All this:
"He's nearly 31"
"750k is good business"
"Not a Jones type striker"
Is a coping strategy. Like when you get dumped by a woman you love & you tell your mates, "she wasn't for me anyway."
I see no positives in selling the best striker in L1 to a promotion rival. #cafc
@Jimmyyy_____ It's all hearsay unless Jones comes out and says that himself. If he does then I'll swallow it, and Jones can own the decision to sell the best goalscorer in L1.
It's as simple as that for me. 20+ goals a season strikers don't grow on trees.
Not to forget...:
"Most of his goals are penalties"
"He only scores tap ins"
Goals are goals and I couldn't give a toss if they bounce in of his arse every week.
🙄
I genuinely can not believe there are #cafc fans saying 750k is good business for May.
Giving the best goalscorer in L1 away to a rival for peanuts is ludicrous.
Dobson, CBT & May gone under this board... there is no money or ambition.
Jones has a helluva job on his hands.
" We once got our star striker to phone our fans up and ask them why they haven't renewed their season tickets and to convince them to buy one, only to sell him a few months later to a promotion rival " #cafc
