Key player sneaking out



So the first of the decent out of contract players sneaks out of The Valley heading off towards his new home over in New Cross.

I've mixed feeling about Racon leaving really. On his day he can be a real handful for any opposition. Having said that he has been part of Charlton's historically worst and most unsuccessful squad to date. 113 appearance yielding 12 goals for the club. For a player who is viewed as more creative than the defensive Semedo not a great return.  Always seemed to blow a bit hot and cold for me.

I can certainly understand if he's going to get the same money or more to play in the Championship. (I'm kind of doubting this due to the Millwall chairman's rather sensible salary cap he has in place at The New Den). And he (Racon) is apparently well settled in the area.  Good luck to him i suppose.

It would now be quite nice if we start to see some of the deals for new players that have been touted coming to fruition.  In fact I'd say it's pretty vital.  That alongside the confirmation of some key personnel staying put and signing new deals.  I'm afraid that if we don't, and end up with only a couple of new faces and some of the less desirable moving up the pecking order due to departures like this one, next season may be long and hard.
