    Eddie Firmani was the best player never to play at left back.

    In the early 60's on his return to us he was still a good striker though.

    Eddie Firmani made his Charlton League debut at left back. Look it up.

    Wiggins is a sad story brilliant and most likely would have been our best left back ever at Charlton but injury as finished him at this level ... last season he struggled badly and don't think Charlton have any other options but to let him go .. Problem is who going to sign him he on decent wages most likely to much for most div one teams and then will he pass a medical ??

    Still got 12 months left on his contract

    I do like Fox and would be quite harsh to replace him but If we're going to improve then we probably need better , didn't realise Bergdich had played 11 games for morocco either ... Must have something about him.

    Usually that is the case :smiley:

    If theres a buyer for Wiggins, I'm all for getting another one in and then letting him go. But surely at this moment in time, it would be better to concentrate on getting a RB, 2 CBs, a CM and a couple of wingers (maybe just the one if Henry comes in).
    Just saying wouldn't be a huge concern if we go into the season with Wiggins and Fox.

    Yes, but if you can see an opportunity to improve the squad, in whatever position, then surely you take it ?
  • I assume wages is why he is on his way. A smart management would put him in shop window by starting him. Expect to see him and Bikey training with kids though.

    Digression only occurs when there is a paucity of rumours, if we have a sudden plethora then all the chitchat will dissipate.

    Don't be ridiculous, you HAVE to rebuild in order of importance at the risk of missing out on other targets. That is why Henry hasn't signed yet because GL needs a defender before he signs a midfielder

    Are you serious ?

    So you're saying if our priority is a centre half & we were offered the opportunity to sign Tony Watt and sell Simon Church, you wouldn't do the deal ?

    Yes of course you need to prioritise, but you can't dismiss other opportunities, if they present themself.

    By that, I mean an opportunity, to buy a better left back & sell Wiggins, at preferable fees.

    Maybe this is why we are losing out on a lot of our targets.

    Are you serious?!?!?!?!

    You put players 'in the shop window' if they are really good and you're trying to get a big sale. You don't play average centre backs that are woefully out of form or out of favour left backs during a league campaign just because you want to move them on!!!

    The rumour was we were paying 500k for Henry. We wouldn't throw in Johann too.

    If anything the 500k should be coming to us.

    Actually he has three years left. He signed a five year contract around the time we sold Kermorgant.

    We could get £2m plus Henry for JBG.

    yeah fair point and I agree. However, say RD limits Luzon to a certain number of players and wages etc. We then sign this LB and continue recruiting, and Luzon is told he can sign a new player when Wiggins is sold. We could then end up with 3 LB's and one RB, who will not be able to play every game.
    Certainly, if we can offload Wiggins or there is no pressure to sell to be able to sign the other necessities then I have no issue with it all .

    Ridiculous premise and you really have to hope you aren't advising Roland.

    If JBG to Wolves is part of any deal, they can bugger right off. We need to keep him and Henry isn't THAT good, even with £2m thrown in.

    @(null): Bergdich #pucela will be Monday in England to join Charlton Athletic: http://t.co/dayQ5XnAB6

    El internacional marroquí Bergdich apura sus últimas horas en Valladolid, ya que el lunes se desplazará a Inglaterra junto a su representante para conocer los términos de su contrato con el Charlton Athletic y así poder jugar en la segunda división inglesa. Posteriormente regresará a Valladolid para trasladar la oferta a Carlos Suárez y valorar su salida, se rumorea que el Charlton Athletic podría ofrecer cerca de 300.000 euros para que Bergdich cambie de club, a parte de mantener la ficha al lateral izquierdo. La semana que viene será clave para la salida del marroquí del Real Valladolid.



    If someone wants to translate it . But looks like the deal is for €300k
