  • Richard Cawley @RichCawleySLP
    And chief executive Katrien Meire explains that contract renewals and signings have bumped #cafc over-budget http://www.southlondonpress.co.uk/article.cfm?id=3328&headline=Charlton Athletic chief: We are exceeding our player wage budget

    Meire much more revealing here than in recent prog column. If already over budget, bad news for squad strength

    @mattjobob Don't think will stop them from trying to add. Still made a bid for Henry on last day of window.

    They took the money from the pot hole filling budget
  • "There was no late activity in the transfer window for the Addicks, but they were not helped by the fact that they were forced to pay up Andre Bikey’s contract."

    Reading this again the word "forced" is interesting.

    It is Cawley's word or at least he's not quoting KM but why were we "forced". We had the option to leave him with the U21s although that might not have been ideal and just pay him week by week.

    Wouldn't have freed up any money as would still have to pay him until he went out on loan or moved permanently in January but why "forced".

    By whom and for what reasons?
  • Because the bloke was a bellend not all the ticket, made fox a nervous wreck, is that enough?
    So you could say we were forced to get rid as thats better than having a raving lunatic prowling around SL

    Sure, not disagreeing that he is said to have been a bad influence but "forced" still seems an odd word to use with any explanation in article.
  • Bikey's contract being paid up doesn't necessarily mean we paid the full amount left on his contract. More likely we negotiated a lower amount on the basis he could be released and would be able to find a new club after the window closed.

    No doubt forced, in as much as, we had to pay him off, to get him out the door.

    Possibly but if we were "forced" then maybe he was able to ask for what he wanted.

    as Covered End say above we had to pay him off, and maybe for the full amount, to get him out of the door.

    Shame Peeters thought Morrison was useless and was overheard by Gudmunsson telling his coaches that leading to Morro asking to move.

    Now Liege are no longer owned by RD is it safe to assume the scouting link-up we had with them has also ended? If RD had sold Liege a year ago would we still have been informed of Bauer and Kashi by the Liege scouts? Could we have identified Bauer and Kashi without the Liege scouts? Is there still a link-up between both clubs scouting systems even under different ownership? Can we go into future transfer windows and still find the Bauer's and Kashi's without a link-up with Liege scouts?

    Exactly.

    That's how I read it, the club decided he'd become such a problem to have around the place that we had to get rid of him for the good of the rest of the team. They left it as long as they could but when it became clear that no one else wanted him they felt they had no other option than to cancel his contract. I'm no employment lawyer but I believe in that situation Bikey can, if he wishes to play hard ball (and why wouldn't he?), can demand that his contract be paid up in full.

    I guess they could have given him leave of absence on full pay.
  • Rumours again on twitter that Tucudean is coming back

    Not sure how reliable this is or what the source is.

    Seems odd that the contract has been cancelled now rather then in the window

    George Tucudean has had his contract at Steaua Bucharest cancelled #cafc
  • Another reason why the Player Budget has gone perhaps?

    Cant say we dont have the Firepower up front this season now
  • T

    Having seen Bikey at Maidstone in preseason, he did not look to be a bad influence, add to that his good reputation at fan events i doubt that was the problem.

    Sounds similar to Morrison he fell foul of the change of coaches but just because Luzon did not want him does not mean he does not have the right to the wages he is owed by the club when we offered him a two year contract last summer.

    Having seen Bikey lambast Fox on numerous occasions last season when it was Bikey himself at fault i beg to differ. Also what someone close to Charlton has told me and that was he was a fecking fruitcake.
    If you look the evidence is there too at his previous clubs.
    Anyway i think George would be ok backup for Big Mac.

    This was rumoured about a month ago, but no clarification was forthcoming. Not my favourite player but back-up to the Great Dane and better than playing some of the kids.
  • This was rumoured last month, indeed I had wondered whether he could have played at Wolves, but aren't there rules about the number of clubs you can play for in a season, and maybe they were hoping to ship him out again

    You can when Tucudean is around.

    Yes you cannot play for more than two. Ben arfa last season I remember falling victim to this.
  • Tucadean released from stuea back to us until end of season

    Could he play as an attacking midfielder?

    Or as right back!

    According to Ketts he can't get a Foreign loan until January, but he can get a short term domestic loan. I wonder whether Luzon will try to integrate him into the first team squad?

    I can't see Tuc taking a league one loan or getting a championship loan so I suspect he's in the first team squad until January at least. If he works hard and wants it enough I can see Luzon getting the best out of him.
