Bielik can play CB and a DM role. If he is a loan, Arsenal will expect us to play him regularly, providing no more injuries at the back, who will he replace Bauer or Pearce? If he plays DM, then it is Aribo or Pratley. The trouble with loans is that you are expected to play them all the time and that means one of our players gets pushed out, unless they are happy to be on the bench, but I doubt it. We have to strengthen the squad, but need to start with the best 11. He could be cover for Page and Solly
Three at the back with Bauer and Pearce. Sarr gets dropped.

I don't think they'd expect an unknown and unwanted defender to start every week, it's not as if he's their star youngster
He'll plenty of match time, whether at the back or to stiffen the midfield, I can imagine him playing alongside Pratley against the better sides away from home for example
I’m told we had a player ready to sign on the dotted line last week until Roly put paid to that. He wanted to come, his agent had set everything up but Roland wanted to focus on another position.
I imagine it makes things difficult for the management team!
Really struggling to believe he has any interest in Charlton in general let alone the playing side.
Trust me. He refused this signing because he wanted a goalkeeper first. By the time that was done our target went elsewhere.
Are you saying that RD is taking that much interest that he knows about Dillon Phillips, his lack of first team experience & that we need more cover there ??
I can only assume updates on our squad (or lack of it) comes from LB & so he probably suggested the urgency for a gk first & foremost. More likely the budget at that time meant just one player coming in - LB really wanted a gk & so that's what he got.
RD will still have Driesden or similar in his ear about something like this and take their advice over a caretaker English manager because RD is, as proved too many times now, a complete idiot when it comes to all things Charlton.

Seen Belik(if spelt correctly) in a couple of Carabao cup games for Arsenal and looked solid, so will definitely do a job. Think my DM than CB but could be a useful addition, anyone will at this rate lol

Hoping the extra additions they keep banging on about are not a spin story
Gooner at work reckons he will do ok for us, at least he has heard of him..
Does this mean we will have 7 subs?
Steve Gallen seems to talk a lot of sense too.
LB and CM next, or are we relying on Bielik to be cover for both CB and CM?
