Agree re; JFC. Particularly as we’ve been spoilt by seeing the likes of Bielik and Cullen this season and I believe that is the standard JFC would need to measure up too were he to start in the ChampionshipAFKABartram said:Fosu still made 20+ apps last season. It may well be there’s something in his contract that triggers the offer of a new deal is certain number of apps are hit.
Personally I’m not convinced JFC is good enough for the Championship, but there is a post injury loyalty contract offer there I suppose.2 -
If you are a third party club, I think you’d offer Aribo at least as much as Williams salary wise. Aribo has huge potential and been better for us than Williams (I love Williams and rated him more than almost everyone on here it would seem), and Williams has major injury problems.
Williams hasn’t been offered a deal because we can’t get near what he’ll probably get off somebody else.
We have offered Aribo a deal; which is presumably therefore nowhere near what he’ll probably get off somebody else (as per Williams).
Chances of Aribo staying are therefore very slim!

Aribo is 22 years old ..... so even if he should leave, the club ensure they'll receive a development fee.paulsturgess said:

I know there is no room in sport for being sentimental and it’s not a surprise but I am truly gutted this squad is being ripped apart. I think it’s because this is my 8 year old sons first year of really supporting us and this squad are his heroes and I hope he never forgets them.
As supporters we have been very lucky to have a couple of great squads in the last 8 years and I just hope Lee and Jacko are given the chance to build the next great squad6 -
Exactly how i feel tonight, sad that only a few days after the boys did the business at Wembley the team has been torn apart. Getting sentimental in my old age. ☹charlton_carl said:I know there is no room in sport for being sentimental and it’s not a surprise but I am truly gutted this squad is being ripped apart.

It’s a bad sad but we need to build a new squad as soon as possible and hit the ground running.Redvalleyeast said:

You have loan players for the season/half season, and they go back, that's how it works. Maybe we'll get them back next season anyway. Of the permanent players, the only player released who actually started on Sunday is Parker, while Williams was like a loan in that we paid a fraction of his wages4 -

Before we get in full bed wetting mode we need an idea of what Bowyer ment by "small budget". Is it small compared to WBA, Leeds and Derby, small compared to the championship average, small compared to Millwall or small compared to last season?
I would expect, and accept, the first 2. The last 2 would give me cause for concern. If the total wage budget is the same as last season, provided we get 5 1st team players on loan, we will be alright.5 - Sponsored links:

I would guess the budget will be higher with the increased revenue going to LB for players - looks like no quick takeover which is a blow so gonna be an interesting few months seeing who LB brings in - let’s hope he’s exaggerating the low budget thing to an extent. Don’t disagree with any he has released and im hoping he thinks he can get what he needs with what he’s been given - we all want a new owner and big splash out but I guess this does feel a bit more like the curbishley slow build in the 90’s - to an extentCafc43v3r said:Before we get in full bed wetting mode we need an idea of what Bowyer ment by "small budget".

We know Aribo was offered a new contract last season which was subsequently withdrawn and replaced with one of half the value.
Is it not possible that following promotion and the shedding of players on higher wages that we have offered him a vastly improved one? Fingers crossed.0 -
I’d say 7out of the 18 from Sunday is a substantial impact especially when Aribo and Bauer are likely to follow.killerandflash said:

I know how loans work and with those numbers all I was highlighting is we have a great team spirit and need to build it again.1 -
A question that probably effects the clubs ability to keep players and recruit new ones. What should are salary cap be. Should the club refuse to pay more than £5,000 per week for a player in the championship for example, given that we know the club loses £10 million or more in league 1.0

If the budget was going to be ridiculously low then Bowyer would not be keen to stay and endure a football suicide mission at the point where he can walk away while his stock is high.
I’m relatively relaxed about things. My only panic trigger will be if it’s announced at any stage Bow is not staying, and I just can’t see that happening.6 -

Bowyer confirms Igor was released due to his injuries.
He knows we’ll have a small squad, we can’t keep a player we know is injury prone.3 -

Agreed with some of the opinions on JFC. I think he is worth a contract, but only because we actually need to have some players to work with.
Still not really sure what he offers a team at Championship level.0 - Sponsored links:

Think people are being harsh on JFC, very cultured player who was one of the first names on the team sheet before his injury. He will do just fine in the Champ - probably even more so than in L1 due to the type of player he is.

Agreed, until he joined us he had played virtually all his career in the Championship, including 2 fairly full seasons in a decent Brighton teamCovered_End_Lad said:Think people are being harsh on JFC, very cultured player who was one of the first names on the team sheet before his injury.

Jake also had a good stint with the England U21s when he was first impressing at Brighton... Wasnt it a bit of decent business that we got him in League One in the first place2

One of the first questions their agenits will ask is who will they be playing with, and even who will be their manager?_MrDick said:I still think the lads we’ve offered new contracts to, won’t sign. Come the the hour, cometh the Bauer, better than Semedo Aribo will get better deals elsewhere. They’ll be snapped up by established Championship clubs, IMO. Bowyer and Gallen will have their work cut out trying to attract better players on Charlton wages. I think we’ll have a team largely made up of loanees (within the rules, of course)
what is a bonus though is LB is talking about the players he needs for the new season. Which could mean, his contract has been sorted?0 -
