Would you opt for Bauer - knowing a solid defence is or paramount importance next season and could be the difference between staying up or not.
or would you go for Aribo as he might have the trickery to conjure something up when we need it.
If I could only have one I would probably opt for Bauer because our defence will be under scrutiny and we need someone who won't get bullied

Just to be different. Plus I think he's more of a guarantee to do well next season.
More NEEDED.
Two players who had great seasons.
Aribo is a magic footed player who has loads of flair and Bauer is an old fashioned CB who at 27 could still improve but won't gain any more pace.
Don't compare, Don't compare.
If you don't have the men in the middle....making good decisions, sweeping up, creating chances, flowing the game play in the direction we wish to see.
Then the defenders role is incapable to defend itself. They will be overwhelmed....and won't be able to fight for themselves.
Every player on the pitch is as important as the next.
I would still choose Bauer. He is more likely to stay with the club for a longer time. He is a name in the dressing room and his departure would mess us up quite a lot.
Aribo is expected to leave.
Plenty of quality, experienced centre halves available. I actually think we can get better than Bauer.
The Belgian Nutter then undid all Powell's good work and got us relegated to league 1 so it is only now that we are clawing our way back thanks to Lee Bowyer and his team whom, it should be said, have still not been signed up by the Belgian Nutter despite winning promotion!
Joe Aribo was a massive part of Bowyer's team, along with Bauer too of course, but, like Parker, how many midfielders will we be able to find with the mobility of Joe and ability to score close on 10 goals no penalties?
For that reason my choice is Aribo, given the parameters of the question, although in an ideal world I'd love to keep both.
Arobo is not without defensive abilities but has very quick feet, seemingly elastic legs in a challenge and if he continues to drive forwards will get goals and assists.
so I’ve talked myself into Aribo despite him not having proved it in championship in the same way as Bauer more because I like the attacking side of football and appreciate the defensive.
No no way in hell I’d want to lose either as there are both good talents, committed and love playing for Charlton.
But I would take Cullen over either.
I think they'd both contribute in the Championship. I think they'd both help offer a strong spine, around which a solid team could be built. And I think they're both good enough to play in the higher reaches of the Championship and to pull other, less-talented players up to their level.
So, why Aribo? Because Bauer said at the start of the season he was off. So I couldn't pick him over someone else.
