Good for him. Felt that he really wasn't anywhere near it when he played for us last season. Not his fault, he shouldn't have needed to appear but he's a long way behind the likes of Doughty and Vennings
How nice is it to see us loaning out youngsters to something more akin to their level in order to grow and develop, rather than having to chuck them into our games against teams who allegedly have one player earning more than our whole squad (Ayew and Swansea)?
As a regular watcher of the under 23s I think Ben can play higher than conference level. I also think he can show more than he has when on first team duty.
He is very combative, fully committed and has an eye for goal. Indeed he nearly equalised at the death in our defeats at Derby and Swansea
I hope he can improve. Lovely parents too, who watch his every game. Good luck Ben.
That's gonna depend which division we're in. Promotion maybe a step too high for him Another year in this division with wage caps etc and he'll be in prime position

He’s already 21 so won’t be under the cap next season, assuming the rules stay as they are. Can’t see him being kept on when we’re letting Lapslie go.
Good luck Ben, I'm glad he's found a permanent move. I was a bit confused why we gave him another year this season, as he was way down the reckoning and indeed never registered in the EFL squad
Anyone actually know why we extended his contract last summer? Seemed strange at the time.
Read a rumour that they got his age wrong and thought he wouldn’t count towards the squad registration number. Can’t think of anything else which makes any sense.

How can they get his age wrong in that way. He has had a full grown beard since he was 16!!! Surely they must have thought he was pushing 30, not 20
Very best wishes to Ben who I think is an unselfish team player with leadership qualities. One who will become a more solid fixture in teams with more experience and nous. Not easy to define his speciality, but he is a footballer as it were. I will be looking out for how he gets on in the Scottish Championship next season.
Good luck to Ben. Was never going to trouble the first team here so glad to see that he’s sorted out a decent deal. There are worse places to live than the Ayrshire coast.

It will be interesting what happens to Morgan, surely he'll go to somewhere better than Ebbsfleet?
Maloney and Wiredu seem to have gone backwards since their loan moves
He has rejoined Woking on loan
📰 LOAN NEWS | Best of luck to academy graduate Ben Dempsey who has joined @wokingfc on loan until January 9th. #cafc
The Arter way

Not actually sure if his Contract is due to expire this summer but guess his Charlton career is coming to an end now
Promotion maybe a step too high for him
Another year in this division with wage caps etc and he'll be in prime position
@admin, can you change the title.
Good luck Ben
Ayr fans seem very happy.
Three year deal too
