    On Ben Haim, I think the bad blood was because he refused to take a pay cut when the club went into administration - and to be fair to him, he signed a long contract worth a lot of money, perhaps he leveraged his personal finance on that contract so couldn't afford the pay decrease? After all, it wasn't his fault the club was so poorly managed.

    He was a good defender, and if he can find any of his old Bolton/Chelsea form form we could have a very good player on our hands at this level.

    Ha,ha, I just asked Richard Cawley on Twitter to spill the beans and he told me to go and buy an online copy!
    Nothing to get too excited about. 100/150 words top on the back of the SLP. No quotes from anyone at the club re the keeper and forward. Nothing concerte if and when these deals will happen. Just an old news story that appears to be re printed to fill a space in the paper.
    Glad I didn't buy a copy then Shirty :-)

    Personally wouldn't mind Ben Haim, but i doubt we could afford his wages. He was a good defender once, not great but good and i would have thought could certainly do a job in the championship. I admit the bad blood between him and pompey about money is concerning, but that was a while ago.

    We could afford his wages because they would have to be paid anyway, as he is at SL.

    Yeah I don't think it would be terrible.
    Experienced pro for the likes of Gonez to learn from.
    Are people unsure of his character or his ability? Or both?

    Guy at work is a Pompey season ticket holder. Said he is a class player and that what he lacked in pace he made up for in confidence and use of his head. Held by some as an arsehole for not wanting to reduce his payment but he said at the end of the day if u sign a contract you are entitled to what you sign for so it's really not his fault. Sounded sort of promising to me anyway

    Unless you're a private company, small family firm, worker on minimum wage, charity etc who's signed a contract with a football club.

    They haven't stuck 'silence' signs up everywhere have they, I enjoy a chat with other shoppers.

    Decent champ signing. Slowly but surely we are starting to build a squad. Light years away from 12 months ago. Goals need to come from all over the park, not just up front, and if this is true he would provide that from the midfield.

    To beat lots of other championship clubs to his signature would also be a real statement.

    Don't know much about him but only about 26 games at our level and I think he got relegated.

    Still, he is only 24 and has had a couple of good seasons with Coventry so maybe harsh to judge him on what he did as a teenager in struggling sides.

    Will he be the first Belgian to play for Charlton? : - )

    "Charlton Athletic appear favourites to land Coventry City striker Franck Moussa, who had been mentioned in regard to Huddersfield Town due to the Mark Robins link.

    The goalscoring Belgian midfielder netted 13 for the Sky Blues last season and looks to be heading for The Valley, where they have new Belgian owners."

    Versatile then

    From what I've seen he plays at the head of a central midfield 3, with 2 holding midfielders behind him
