THIS would make the 2nd half of the season extra special for me.
Whatever the final outcome when May comes around, to have one of our most exciting young players wanting to be part of the future, would mean so much.....
It would show that he has complete faith in the management, the players around him AND the ability of our famous football club to succeed, even under the temporary stewardship of an owner who probably wouldn't recognise him.
Joe has shown of late that he is a crucial part of our squad - indeed , he is improving by the match IMO. He was my MOM today & a close 2nd at Fratton Park on Tuesday night.
If we can continue this exciting winning run we find ourselves on, then there is every chance that promotion may not be a dream but more a New Year's resolution.
If Joe commits his future to Charlton Athletic, then others may follow suit IF the powers that be have one iota of common sense and offer suitable contracts. No more playing silly b*ggers with derisory offers!
Maybe I'm naive, delusional even but I'm sticking out my wrinkly old neck & saying I'm keeping the faith in this young man.

Last season he was often just a fringe member of the squad, before establishing himself in the 1st team during the run-in. Evidently, even back then, Bowyer evidently rated Aribo highly.
This season, Joe must now be one of the first names on the team sheet.
Its disappointing as I thought UEFA were going to introduce rules that said a club could only loan out a handful of players each season (Should be the same number a club are allowed sign on loan) - Unfortunately it seems to have gone quiet on that front (no surprise really) yet think measures like that would quickly stop this stockpiling of players
Of course not but its other clubs that are being screwed over for no reason other than potential long term financial gain, certainly cant even see Joe managing to get ahead of Phil Foden up there - If there were limits on how many players could be loaned out each season do you seriously think that Man City would be wasting their time with Joe Aribo (no offence to the lad)?
Isnt that against the laws of the game, I thought English clubs couldnt make contact with other english clubs players unless there is less than a month on their contract

But in the real world, this happens every single time.

As he is a free agent I'm sure he can speak to other clubs in order to find an agreement from July 1st from the previous January.
If he leaves on a free in the summer quite frankly Roland would have no-one to blame but himself.
"Joe - we both know Charlton spotted you, nurtured you and it's going well and stuff. They are offering £4k a week for a year and you can train with Lyle and Naby and keep improvng. Alternatively you can go to the current league champions Man City, kickabout with Aguero, Jesus, Silva, Sane and Sterling. Pep Guardiola wou You'd be on around £25k a week too. Plus bonuses for europe or cup appearances. Would all be a bit mental...but you'd have to relocate to a massive house in Cheadle Hulme - but we'll get Man City to pay for a hotel for a few months while you are looking around."

He can speak to clubs abroad from 1st Jan
He cant speak to other English clubs until 1st June

He's allowed to engage in contract negotiations with whomsoever he chooses, even to signing "pre-contract terms" once he is into the last 6 months of his contract. In Joe's case probably since January, no later than the end of the last transfer window.
In the real world he and his agent are free to talk to whomever, whenever they like. Clubs are supposedly prohibited from approaching players registered to other clubs, until their final 6 months, but this hasn't even been paid lipservice by anybody in living memory. Any football manager's (auto)biography reveals just that.
After the contract offer, withdrawal, replaced by contract at half the value; Joe deserves huge credit for not telling roly to go boil his head and force a move last January. Rarely will a player have been so casually insulted by his employer. In this context his recent performances are even more remarkable.
Hopefully Joe will go public on the depths of roly's duplicity, when Joe finds himself a respectable employer.
What is best for Aribo's agent may not be what is best for Aribo. I have to be honest and say if we don't get promoted, he has to leave us as he is far too good for League One. He has made a big leap this season and he needs to continue it. If we got promoted, The Championship in a team he is comfortable in and which rates him is going to be a great platform and I;m sure he can negotiate a contract with the right clauses.
It is always best for a young prospect going to a Premier League club to cost them a fair bit of money. This puts pressure on them to give them a real chance whereas, if they are taking a cheap punt, they don't have the same incentive to give players the right opportunity.
Joe seems like an intelligent lad to me, and I'm confident he knows that.
Let's face it at best we will keep him one more season and that's if we go up. Celtic would be a good move for him. European football, would probably walk in their team after a few weeks and one good season puts him on a wider radar
Rangers and Celtic are realistic, but Man City and Arsenal - he won't make the team and will risk his career. Signing a contract with us won't prevent him moving, it will just mean he does it in a way that his best for his career. The Scottish league is not the highest standard.
Joe is 22 and too good for div 1,a lesser premier club or a season in the championship would be great for his career,City or Arsenal,forget it these clubs are only interested in instant success and will just buy ready made players from abroad.Look at City,Foden,Mahrez dont get a game and they are already talking about continental targets for next season,how many young lads have come through Arsenal in recent years.Joe if you must leave go where you are going to play.

Please don't let me down, Joe.

I rate Aribo highly for us, but Man City? They’d see him as a player to loan out for a few years and then make a profit.
Clubs are absolute scum when they do this

That is how I understand the law anyway

He then came back and looked better as he started playing for a new offer from elsewhere.
Don't think he can be blamed?
If they've said it on air, I apologise, but even so. This looks totally unfounded.
That said, his contract is still up, so who knows what happens with him come June 30th...
