I am very interested in the outcome of this, not because he is a Charlton player, but because I think how he has developed since getting into the first team is immense. The best players know how good they are and I hope Aribo appreciates this too. If he did, he would sign an extension with us with a clause and stay with us with a view to impressing a Premiership club. They are already looking at him and that is going to continue, but if he believes in himself he can leave with an enhanced reputation that means they buy him for the first team and not a cheap punt. This was Scott Parker's big mistake - I think if he waited 6 months he would have gone to Arsenal or Man Utd.
I think Aribo has the qualities that are needed to see his career really take off. Going to Scotland may be a good choice financially, but it is not the right football choice.2 -
Genuinely, good luck to him whatever he opts to do. He’s been immense and I would love to keep him, but he has the talent to play at a higher level imo, and earn whatever money clubs feel fit to pay him. I don’t see anything in his persona other than a hard working, diligent professional. Everything I hear about him is that he’s a nice lad who just concentrates on his football. If he went, like Gomez, I’d want him to go on and do well.8

We will see (probably not) but I really rate him. He was already playing at a Championship level last year in my opinion. One more year of growth is only going to improve his game further.se9addick said:
No he won’t. He has lots of potential and I hope one day he will be a great player, but I really don’t think he is currently one of the best players in the Championship. Frankly if he was he would be going somewhere better than Rangers already.Callumcafc said:IF he stays, that is absolutely huge for our season.
He’d be one of the best players in the division next year IMO.0 -
That’s what I meant, that the sign and loan back doesn’t seem to happen as much as it’s speculated on. Probably happens more in the January window I’d imagine. I guess a Premier League club that signs him might think that he’s learned all he can at Charlton and a new experience might provide him a better learning opportunity.soapboxsam said:
Really, I thought Chelsea had been doing this for the last ten years when they buy players, I appreciate not always at the club there being bought from but now as we a championship club, surely that would be best for the Premier club to loan him back where he is settled and if fit will be picked every week ?se9addick said:
Hypothetically, that would be better than losing him completely, but those sorts of deals seem to be spoken about a lot but don’t seem to happen that much in reality.soapboxsam said:Back in the real world, would the best compromise for Cafc fans be if Joe was signed by a top half premier team but was allowed to have a full season in the Championship at Charlton. That way Joe can be earning say 20k a week made up with 15k from parent club and 5k from Cafc.
If I was a CEO at Cafc(shame they don't have one) that would be my best option available considering our lack of funds.
I’m not sure there’s a real life compromise that will happen. I don’t want him to go at all, but I still think he will.
Either way the club that he goes to won’t be “buying” him so we have little leverage to negotiate and if he were to go we would be relying on our ability to sweet talk his new club into a loan deal, I wouldn’t fancy our chances.1 -

All the best Joe0

Bowyer mentioning two PL clubs smells of trying to get Rangers to up their compensation offer as much as possible.0

They don't have to pay compensation do they? Only English clubs come under the English FA rules.Callumcafc said:Bowyer mentioning two PL clubs smells of trying to get Rangers to up their compensation offer as much as possible.0 - Sponsored links:

Like any city, Glasgow has its good and bad. It is pretty small and easy to get around, people on the whole very friendly and chatty. Property not particularly expensive - we certainly don't live on millionaires' row! A large flat in West End or city centre would set Joe back about 10 to 15 weeks' of supposed Rangers' wages, whereas for a full year's wage he could get one of the nicest detached houses anywhere.
Lots going on culturally though not on the scale of London but then getting tickets, getting into events is generally much easier.
The best advantage for me is that you are only half an hour or so away from fabulous countryside eg Loch Lomond and a couple of hour's from Glencoe or the west coast. Traffic nothing like London so you don't spend all your time in jams. Edinburgh is 40 mins away by train.
Biggest downside is that there are nowhere near as many direct flights so travelling abroad requires careful planning and usually a change in London/ Amsterdam/ Dubai for most long haul destinations.
Overall quality of life way, way better than London / SE. It is not at all elitist - nowhere off limits / out of reach to ordinary folk.
But if Joe is reading this, it is shite, a goldfish bowl, claustrophobic, cultural desert, full of druggies and gangsters;-)9 -
He should check the rules then - firstly isn’t compensation ultimately decided by tribunal if not agreed between the clubs? Second I think it only applies to young players moving within England.Callumcafc said:Bowyer mentioning two PL clubs smells of trying to get Rangers to up their compensation offer as much as possible.0 -
There was talk that we’d get around £300k if he moves to Rangers. Does Scotland have different rules compared to Europe as it’s a move within the UK?0

If you turn it into a gif you can upload it as a picture. Otherwise it needs to be on YouTube I think.oohaahmortimer said:Got a great video on phone I took of Aribo after the play off final dancing around with medal on outside Wembley .

What a waste of footballing talent.3

Parker’s biggest “ mistake” was getting injured. He still earned millions and millions and captained England; hardly a wasted career.MuttleyCAFC said:I am very interested in the outcome of this, not because he is a Charlton player, but because I think how he has developed since getting into the first team is immense.

This was Scott Parker's big mistake - I think if he waited 6 months he would have gone to Arsenal or Man Utd.
I think Aribo has the qualities that are needed to see his career really take off. Going to Scotland may be a good choice financially, but it is not the right football choice.
I’m sure if a Premiership club was truly interested Aribo would give serious thought to going there. As it is, the thought of earning a million a year whilst playing in front of 50,000 fans every other week may make Aribo think he is moving in an upwards direction.2 -

Has more than enough raw talent to be a Premiership footballer.
Could go both ways this one, but I’d like to think Gerrard mentoring him can only be good for his career. Still think he’d be better off at a top half championship club though.1 -
Going to Rangers according to Cawley.0

It applies to moves within Europe at least, but the rules are stricter within the U.K. than the general UEFA rules.se9addick said:

Lots of things are taken into consideration and this might be Bowyers way of pushing up the compo price. If you say he’s got PL teams after him, it makes him more valuable and that might work in our favour at a tribunal.
Might just scare Rangers into agreeing to give us a couple of hundred thousand more.
Not that any of it matters when it’s lining Roland’s pocket anyway.0 - Sponsored links:

I'm starting to think he didn't have as many offers as made out. If you had German top flight clubs and French after you surely you wouldn't go to Rangers? I don't buy into this whole Gerrard thing. Just because someone was a great player it doesn't make them a great coach. If anything it can have a negative effect as the player may get frustrated that his players simply can't do what he could/ have the natural ability.
I do think it's a step up deffo, he will be in the shop window next season, bigger wages, big club let's be honest. I just find it very odd that you look at all these clubs that he could probably break into in the prem, Blades, Norwich, Brighton, Burnley etc and it would be a drop in the ocean for them to get him yet none of them have shown interest? Really odd2 -
Think it’s pretty clear that this ‘international’ interest wasn’t as strong as made out, if he had any decent prem offers or even a decent bundesliga club there’s no way he goes up there.1
-
Rangers though.0
-
Joe should do well at Glasgow Rangers as most weeks he will come up against League 1 standard defenders.
Good Luck lad and you leave without a Staines on your character.1 -
I hope he fails as an example to all youngsters so English clubs don’t lose out on compensation in future.0

Is Fosu still in the building ?0

Atleast it’s rangers0

I think players are heavily swayed by managerial "names" and the "show us your medals" approach. If Rangers were still managed by Mark Warburton I doubt he would have gone there.Braziliance said:I'm starting to think he didn't have as many offers as made out.

Odd that no Premier League club have made Joe Aribo a concrete proposal. It’s not as if the lad hasn’t been fully exposed to the market.
Assuming he goes to Rangers (Rich Cawley is usually well informed) and Joe does the business, he’ll be on the move to the Premier League within a year or two for big money.
Duchatelet’s ridiculous parsimony has cost us (and him) big time. Talk about a false economy.
Stop fannying about Roland and just sell the bloody club.

This is my point. The overall standard in Scotland is below the Championship.wmcf123 said:
