He wouldn’t say anything if there wasn’t a hint of truth in it. I think the “might” is just him covering his behind if it gets held up for whatever reason.
Definitely don't want Dijksteel to leave, especially as it's unlikely Lee will get the money, but £2m is a very fair price for someone who literally only became first choice RB in the last 2 months of last season
In the current market for young talent, £2m for Dijksteel is a steal. If Aribo, Dijksteel and Grant were at a team like Leeds/Brentford, you'd be looking at a combined total of £15m-£20m (minimum) in my opinion.
Silver lining is that Roland's the one that's losing out as we'd never see that money anyway.
I fucking hate Duchatelet. Underselling a player, he could likely get double or triple for at the end of the season (like Konsa before him). He creates another weakness at right back. The money won’t likely be fed back into the team & the club debt won’t reduce as it will go straight into his back pocket. There is 6m for staying up doesn’t he even want to try for it ?
Duchatelet has stumbled over a brilliant management team but is failing to back for an attempt to stay up.
Yet Duchatelet takes no account of his penny pinching short sightedness & lack of any football business sense & blames everyone for his shortcomings. & to top that, he wants other prospective owners to pay for his mistakes & misjudgments. Shaming the name of Belgium.
Everytime, I start to feel good & get a glimmer of hope about Charlton’s future- up pops Duchatelet the footballing grinch joy killer to try & crush the hope & spirit.
Why the hell he ever got involved with football is anyone’s guess. Apologies for my language mods but I really fucking hate Duchatelet. To quote a well known CL poster just fuck off & sell the club.

To be fair Rich is normally one who is usually on the ball for us
He doesnt usually need to cover his arse like this

But the fee for a young player shouldn’t just be based on what they’ve done so far, it should price in the players potential and, given how good Dijksteel could be, £2M is a really poor deal (if that’s what the fee ends up being).
Just looked at the tweet from Cawley and he doesn't actually say we have definitely accepted a bid. He said it sounds as though they may have had a bid accepted.
Amazing how in the space of a week Roland has gone from 'Dijksteel is not for sale' to taking the money and running.
Roland was never going to give the kid a decent wage offer, and there's no doubt in mind that his aim all along was to take a transfer fee before AD ran down his contract.

Are you kidding me. We are in the same division as boro. Offering him low wages and accepting a low bit. Bowyer won't see any of that money. Roland is fucking us over.

Saw that myself... Rich also says he's not back in the Office till tomorrow so hopefully he's basing his information off the same useless twitter accounts as us rather than relying on his usual contacts whoever they are

Boro fans expectations are higher than ours but still, hmmm...
Anyway I think it’s a non starter, the guy is probably on five figures and there’s no way we are paying that.
We need Midfielders | Strikers and potentially a Right-Back

Wasn’t aware of the new bid today.
