Growing up watching a pretty average Charlton, one goal as always stuck out to me, Danny Haynes against Derby in 2012. Kelmans on Saturday reminded me an awful lot of this goal #cafc
No chance I can get behind any manager who goes to Sheffield Wednesday that haven’t won in 37 games, have mainly free agents, kids and rejects. Scored 11 goals at home, conceded 83 in the league. They have 70% of the ball and sit back at 1-0. Absolutely fucking shit. #cafc
I got battered for this when I said it at the time but that Sheffield United game against 9 men sums NJ up and nothing has changed. I’m genuinely torn if I want him here next year as I simple can’t stomach any more of this negative football #cafc
We seem to be people’s 2nd team, a team that has a ‘place in my heart.’ That nice family club, and for players up north etc we are a chance for them to play in London and earn London wages. It’s not taught what beating Millwall means. It can’t be… #cafc
Our players aren’t taught to hate Millwall, they don’t understand because I doubt any of them are charlton fans, something I noticed Saturday was, Millwall have a good few Millwall fans playing for the first team, it showed, they have that fight in them #cafc
Our academy players support other London team/ prem teams and treat us like a stepping stone. Doughty, Mitchell and McNamara all millwall fans, who do we have? Godden is from Kent so maybe him? Leaburn potentially through his dad but almost certain he’s Arsenal. #cafc
Where the fuck is the team that outplayed Leicester, a newly relegated from prem team, you can’t tell me it’s because we lost Edwards and bell. Saturday will be fun… #cafc
For those saying leave Mitchell with Hibs... MoM performance on his debut (which only came on 20 December) and then straight back to the bench...
Such a waste for him to be on loan there. Would rather he was fighting for a place at #CAFC than getting next to no game time there.
@ChrisWo30990144@CAFCofficial Haven’t heard any rumours of us signing bree on a perm as his loan ends in Jan, Burke unfortunately only has a few games in him consecutively.
But I agree a lwb is a must and if we sign bree then maybe can get by this season.
@ChrisWo30990144@CAFCofficial Surely with our defensive injuries he’d get a chance.
Think development wise he’d be better on the bench for us playing the odd game than the odd game for hibs?
If one of Kelman, TC, Leaburn can’t open their scoring accounts today at home against the worst defensive side in the division without their best cb I’m going to drive down to Walsall and Colchester to pick up Mbick and Kanu myself #cafc
🚨⚠️ OFFICIAL: Ademola Lookman confirms he’s handed in a transfer request.
“I hope to work together with the club to find an amicable solution for all parties as soon as possible”.
“Over the past three years at Atalanta, I've given absolutely everything. Not just as a footballer, but as a person. I've always worn the shirt with pride and tried to represent this club and the city of Bergamo with heart, passion and dedication.
I came here with the hope of helping this special club grow and together, we've created memories that will stay with me forever. Winning the Europa League and standing shoulder to shoulder with my teammates that night in Dublin celebrating with our fans was one of the proudest moments of my career so far. It still gives me goosebumps thinking about it.
Atalanta, and especially its supporters, have become a part of me. This place has felt like home from the moment I arrived, and I've always tried to repay that love - even in moments where things haven't been easy behind the scenes.
That's what makes writing this so hard. I have loved every moment but feel that now, after three wonderful years in Bergamo, it is the right time to move on and experience a new adventure. There have been numerous clubs approach Atalanta in the past and I have previously always stayed loyal. However, myself and the ownership of the club have been in agreement that now is the right time and the club were clear with me that if a fair offer came in they would allow me to move.
Despite now receiving an offer in alignment to what I believe had been discussed sadly the club are blocking the opportunity for reasons I do not understand.
As a result and after many months of broken promises and what I feel has been poor treatment towards me as both a human being and as a professional footballer, sadly I feel I have no choice but to speak out for what I believe is right and feel that enough is enough. I can confirm I have now handed in a formal transfer request.
Even throughout the extremely difficult moments I've endured, many of which have remained private and confidential, I have always tried to put the club, the fans and the team first and hoped it would not get to this, but I unfortunately feel there is now little choice.
To the fans - the heartbeat of this club - I want to say this: I'm truly sorry it's come to this. I hope you can understand this incredibly difficult situation. It's simply about standing up for what I believe is fair and right. The support you have always given me has been incredible and the bond we have created together is special.
With love and gratitude,
Ademola”.
