Gossip say Khystian Beliek to move to a Championship club. I know we will not pay money. But if Roland had any sense he would buy. With a year or so his value will treble at least.

I think we've all learnt by now that Roland does not work by any logic, how he's managed to make a fortune i've no idea

He made his fortune in one, very specific, industry. I’m not sure how transferable the skills from that industry are to general business and I’m not sure if any of his ventures elsewhere have been a massive success.

Given todays transfer prices, a top young prospect who did well at the under 21 Euro's has to cost at least 10m. Plus his wages are at least 3 times what we're offering.

Bielik is a good prospect but you have to remember he hasn’t played in The Championship let alone The PL. I think he’s now out of our price range but I don’t see any club paying £10 million for him.

Beilik has, in fact, played 8 games for Birmingham City in the Championship, Shooters.

And by all accounts did well. But, of course, only 8 games - but he was only 18 or 19 at the time.
The next season he suffered serious injury, which is probably why he was loaned to Charlton last season.

We have a very weak midfield - haven't replaced Aribo, Cullen and Bielik. If JFC is our main threat then we're f***ed.

I imagine Harriott will sign this week.

Surely you realise we’ve got to be patient with JFC, he’s got bags of ability.

Not a big fan of JFC - happy to be proved wrong.

Don't see Aneke as a replacement for Aribo - Aneke seems to have been played as a forward throughout his career. 

Fair enough, I thought he was excellent 17/18, a year out for any injury will take time, I think he’s worth persevering with.

I feel we're persevering with him because he's cheap and we don't have many options. He's seemed pretty average when I've seen him play.

I desperately hope he proves me wrong this season and stays injury free.

JFC is one of those players that puts a big shift in but it goes unnoticed a lot of the time because his distribution is quicker and sharper. It’s a massive boost having him back.

I need to watch his game more carefully as I'n not always getting his contribution. He looked pretty fit on Saturday.

JFC is a quality player, he will come on for the game time. Also, it's nice to have a player putting pen to paper for another year. 
Everyone would be spitting feathers if he fucked off on a free.

He was playing against premiership midfielders having only played what 45mins of league one competetive football in over a year, in a side with two midfielders he hasn't played with, cut him some slack for christ sake.

I agree we are weak, but Aneke was the replacement for Aribo.

Not sure whats funny @ J BLOCK

JFC will be fine at this level - short run of games to get his match sharpness up and he will be one of the first name son the team sheet of that I have no doubt. I would rather worry about who is going to play in midfield with him!

Rumours are popping off!!!

JFC struggled to get into a Rotherham side in The Championship ……. just saying.

JFC didn’t struggle to get into Brighton’s team in 13/14 and 14/15 season in the championship... just saying.

Its 2019 now.

Thanks for backing up my point.

Which could also be said to Large's comment.

If he can regain his fitness and sharpness, he'll be an asset. 

Worryingly Pratley looks the best man to play alongside him for now, his experience showed on Saturday...

We are in a race with Portsmouth for Maquis apparently. Surely Portsmouth will win that one easily with our pathetic budget. It would have to be Marquis himself deciding he really wants to play for Charlton or something to change that.

Wtf is our budget?

More like a whip-round. 

And surely midfield is our priority. Why would we spunk £1m away and not address a glaring issue first.
