Ricky Holmes to go?

With takeover uncertainties swirling round Charlton, Ricky Holmes may decide to leave The Valley. Sheffield United could revive their interest: Future in doubt

His departure might not be as catastrophic as it might once have been. He has not been at his best recently, although Karl Robinson says that the whole team has been affected by the off pitch uncertainty. There is too much reliance on playing the ball to him and he can be selfish when he gets it, trying to hang on it until he is dispossessed when he should have laid it off.

Nevertheless, it would represent a further thinning of a squad which Roland will not reinforce.

One might also note that every transfer window produces a 'Ricky Holmes may go' story, but it could happen this time.
