Definitely. Belgium seems to be the gateway to europe on terms of work permits for noon-EU playets, as i was incoherently rambling on about last night

I recall some controversy a few years back. African youngsters lured to Europe with promises of accommodation, contracts, streets paved with gold, only to be abandoned if they failed to make the grade. Agents from Belgium and Spain were mentioned as the worst culprits .. like I say this was quite a while ago

Charlton have already been stung by the african football frauds that are passed round by agents to make money.

All good thinking from varney I wonder what the strategy was for it we got relegated and what has become of it now?
