    Was a bit anonymous, but ghosted past the defences for his goals.

    thats why we brought him back then - to sell him

    short-term it would be a good deal if we get a £1m or so. wigan wont get a work permit and will have to loan him out like we did. might one to regret in the future though.

    Agreed. If he's a talent, I'd love to hang onto him and if we can get a work permit then maybe we should - seeing as he's a striker. But if we were offered a million pounds plus, maybe, add-ons that would make a massive difference to our short term future and would make it a bit of a no-brainer, especially if he's still not eligable for a work permit.

    That would make nearly £4m worth of player sales since April, plus a few off the wage bill - things would look a lot less bleak in that situation (although still far from rosey).

    if we were gonna get a million for a player who has never played for us would it have been necessry for Gritty to go.

    Can't you remember the game against Arsenal? He Serged past a couple of players to score. Think he got a Deble that day, although the second was from the spot.

    I saw him score a cracker once against Real Madrid in the Champions League semi. Pards brought him on for Dean Sinclair and he went on the score the winner.

    He's never played for us hence no work permit

    I say getting anything above £500k would be good business and papers value him at 1 million so who knows, never seen him play whether he is the next big thing or not we could do with the funds
  • whoever wrote that article probably used his highly reliable wikipedia page for info... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serge_Deble & that was probably updated by his agent!

    He's one of a number of mysterious players we seem to own/have owned through some very unpublicised feeder club relationship dating back to the glory days with a club called Asec Mimosas in ivory coast (the same club several players such as kalou, yaya & kolo toure & emmanuel eboue amongst others came through).
    Basically the only source of information about it is Football Manager (where these players generally seem highly rated!) and, there used to be a one sentence footnote about the Asec Mimosas link on the "overseas" section of our website.

    Wasn't he in Top Cat (Officer Deble) before he was promoted to Sarge?

    I do the research for Charlton in Football Manager, most of the information is down to whatever the French researchers enter (or wherever they've been on loan to, Soro was in Belgium for a bit, and another two in Norway). I don't think they know all the details either. I know as much about them as anyone else on here, not much at all. I think Serge Deble is possibly the only one still with us, though I don't even know if he definitely is. The Angers website said he had come back here but that doesn't mean much.

    Appartently a Deble is a wooden figure carved in the form of a woman by the Senufo people of West Africa and used as a “rhythm pounder” in certain rituals... every club should have one!

    And a quote from the article:
    Charlton's signings are all registered to the Football Association in England but are, or will be, placed at clubs in European countries whose work permit regulations are less stringent.

    ...

    When the players qualify for a European passport, a process which usually takes two years, they should be eligible to join up with Charlton.

    Mmm.

    This is probably a load of nonsense put out by his agent Rubi. Infact I see a Rubi-con.
