I can only wish young Joe all the very best. I feel no animosity towards him but a lot to his agent who clearly convinced him this was a good move! But it will be good for him to shine, before moving on. We wouldn't have seen any of the money re-invested in CAFC, had we got massive bucks for him so good luck to Joe.

Probably not, but the asking price would likely have been driven down. Maybe Roland knew and that's why he fudged Joe's contract renewal.
At least 5-7m worth of player gone for £300k... madness
If Joe has a really good season up there - which I fully expect him to do - he’ll be on his way to the Premier League for £15 million or thereabouts. Players who can play in tight spaces and create are pretty rare.

Joe is 22. Maybe his agent recommended a move but if Joe cant think for himself at that age he is going to find things very tough.

I don't know that I could have made such major decisions on my own at his age. I guess his family etc probably went off the agen'ts recommendations as well. Obviously I would, like everyone else, have wanted a major return on Joe and a competitive fee. But we are owned by a madman who defies logic.
To be fair the money is hard to refuse. We look at it as a bad footballing move but you have to back yourself to stay at Charlton and win a better move. Maybe not having had the big payday, Aribo wasn't willing to take the chance of missing out. I can understand that. I just have a lot of faith in the player and think staying with us until January at least would have progressed his career. He is still young and maybe he can afford to waste a year and still reach his potential.
Noticed he had a few shots today, a lot more than he had typically playing for us. I always found Joe opted for a short pass when he found space, seems like Gerrard has encouraged him to have a shot
"wholly ineffective" according to the BBC match report.
in various posts over the past year or two I've cursed the fact that Aribo often seems to disappear for large chunks of the game (typically 45-70 mins). I really wish we still had him, but he's not irreplaceable

Agree. One of the weaknesses of Aribo's overall game is that he's rarely proven to be a '90 minute' player. He still has a lot to learn.
Shame he left ..... but as our old Gaffer Chris Powell would say -"We move on".

I wouldn’t take much notice of Tom English’s opinion on anything related to Rangers.
I do wonder how much his choice to go to Scotland affected our window. I suspect had he chosen an English club and we got £2-3M that Bowyer and Gallen would have seen a % of that - a question for Gallen at Bromley Addicks in October!

I don’t think we would have got anything like £2-3M would we?

Gallen said before Aribo went to Rangers, that had an English club signed him then we'd have be given the fees you mention

Why? What différence does it make ?
The rules around compensation for players u23 leaving at the end of their contracts. Going to Scotland means he's gone "abroad".

Fair play to him, let's hope he kicks on and gets out of there asap.
