Why it matters for Charlton
Kaminski's high salary is a reflection of his importance to the team. As one of the top-paid goalkeepers in the Championship, he will be expected to perform at a high level and help the Addicks achieve their goals.
What comes next?
Charlton Athletic will need to be solid defensively this season if they want to remain in the second tier. Kaminski will be a key player in this effort, and his high salary is a reflection of his importance to the team.
The Addicks were among the better defensive sides in the bottom half of the Championship table last season, but they could have been even better if Kaminski didn't endure a rough year in goal. Like Cooper, the 33-year-old ranked right near the bottom of the goals prevented charts, conceding 6.6 more than his expected goals against suggested he should have. That being said, he still finished sixth in the clean sheet ranks. Charlton will need to be solid defensively once again to remain in the second tier, you'd imagine, and an improved year from their top-earner could contribute to that happening.
