Centre back was where we let so many go, yet it is the area we have left alone other than getting Bauer in. You need to give the defensive unit playing time togethe pre seaskn before QPR especially if they are in front of a nervous Pope. Very strange.
We have a 34 year old filling in at centre back 2 weeks before the season starts which is bordering on farcical when you consider how long we have had to do something about it. Regardless of the work done elsewhere on the squad.
Makes Bikey being frozen out, and Johnson and Ben Haim being let go seem bizarre.
Lenglet looks unlikely, herd can cover right back and is not a centre back by trade. That leaves Hoban who would be ok. Still need an experienced championship centre back to guide the younger guys. For the money we are supposedly looking at for Lenglet we could have afforded Shackell or someone similar.

Don't get the criticism regarding the CB position. Do you not think they realise it needs addressing? Do you not think they are trying to address it? Should we just get Johnson back because we are desperate? There is nothing to say that the French bloke won't sign, maybe negotiations are continuing. Let's not panic just yet eh. There is still the possibility of signing someone like Dunk, bid still on the table I've been told. If not, then on to the next target and I'd rather wait and get someone decent who improves the team rather than panic and sign someone like Johnson who clearly wasn't quite up to it.
Don't know whether it has been mentioned somewhere, but Parzyszek has been rumoured to be close to a switch to the Danish club Randers FC. It is in a local paper here in Denmark.
Randers FC beckons this summer goodbye to Djiby Fall and kronjyderne would like to have a replacement. It may prove to be a Polish striker who will carry on from the Fall.
At least write Randers Amtsavis that the club is close to closing a deal with Piotr Parzyszek. The 21-year-old striker has come in profits in Charlton, after Championship side have picked Simon Makienok.
190 centimeters long Parzyszek was last season on loan to Sint-Truiden in the second national division, scoring 11 goals in 31 games. He also has a number of U-caps for Poland on the CV.
Read it ... Makes no sense his he coming to Charlton I see 8 mill euros mentioned , just because he played does not mean he not signing just means might not be tomorrow
Had to look twice at one of their posters names...@coli142
I was expecting someone to add a "merci Coli" to all his posts!!

Agree, back in May they didn't know it how long it would take. They couldn't offer Johnson a new deal just in case it took a while to sign a couple of new CBs. Ben Haim did well for us but if he didn't want to stay that wasn't an option.

Henry is the one I want, but the centre back situation is approaching crisis point and is where all the focus should be.

Now is the time I wish Roland still had Liege.
Nah - girth is the important one

On Dunk Brighton are said to have rejected a £4m bid from Fulham - http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/33644126
