Peeters: Why Charlton fans have forgotten about Diego Poyet

Charlton Athletic boss Bob Peeters is confident fans have quickly forgotten about Diego Poyet.

The young midfielder moved to West Ham United in the summer - to be replaced by Yoni Buyens.

Peeters enthused: "I played with Yoni when he was 17 and I saw great potential in him then.

"As soon as Standard gave me a hint he was available, he was the first player I signed. At the time, there were issues with Diego Poyet.

"Poyet was a great talent but I knew within two months no one would even mention him any more."
