Charlton: No one is SAFE at The Valley in the Summer Transfer Window

The Football League veteran, and commanding defender, Jason Pearce, spoke to the London News Online and made clear that all players must prove to Karl Robinson that they deserve to be at The Valley next season. All players must play for their future at Charlton in the remaining fixtures.

The returning Jason Pearce, who has been out with an injury since December last year, and has experience leading and captaining a range of sides throughout the Football League, including Bournemouth, Portsmouth, Leeds United, and Wigan Athletic, wants to push on with the remainder of the season.

When speaking to the London News Online, he made clear that players need to “pull their finger out” and prove to Karl Robinson that they deserve to wear a Charlton shirt next season. Currently, Robinson is finalising his plans for the summer transfer window and preseason. The most likely scenario is that Charlton fans can expect a lot of movement in the summer transfer window, including both ins and outs.

“We know as players that we are all playing for our futures. The gaffer is now looking towards next season and to see which players he wants in his team and squad.

“The lads have got to pull their finger out and make sure they are doing well enough to be in his plans. I’m sure he has got a good idea about who he wants to keep, get rid of and bring in.

“I don’t think there need to be wholesale changes. There has been a lot of change at the club, even from when I came in.

“The gaffer has identified areas he needs to strengthen in – I’m sure a few will leave in the summer.  He was renowned for a certain playing style at Milton Keynes and he will want to move towards that.”

Jason Pearce has no plans to leave The Valley in the summer as he is arguably the best centre-back Charlton have, and is likely to feature in Robinson’s plans next season as he has vast experience in the Football League as a leader. He went on to say.

“You never know what can happen in football, what is around the corner. But I’ve always just wanted to play football – the only time I’ve ever moved on has been when I haven’t been playing.

“I signed here on a three-year deal and I’d love to stay here for that – and longer.

“I’m settled with my family and I like the club, it is a massive club that does want to go forward and get back into the Championship.

“It’s going to take time but I’d love to be a focal part of it.”
