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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Another reason why the Player Budget has gone perhaps?

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

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 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

My wife says that I have the same problem as Andre, always getting in the way, causing a nuisance and hanging around at home taking up space shes earmarked for another purpose. If I went and did the same at the Valley/ Training Ground, Is there any chance that they could pay me a Bikey lump sum to go away as well?

Should have given him gardening leave IMHO.

I could find him a bush to trim...

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.

Tuc won't play for us again, am almost sure of that. Not sure what type of man he is, that will determine whether he goes out on loan or sits in reserves until Jan.

The enigma that is Tuc.
I agree with some comments above, I believe there is a good footballer in there somewhere, we've seen flashes of it in previous matches.
Personally I would be happy to have him as a squad player, and also agree that maybe GL can get the best out him....we shall see.

If only he had knocked that chance in against the spanners, he would be a hero to one and all..............sigh.........!

With Tuc and Reza returning, suddenly we seem to have far too many strikers, in relation to the lack of cover elsewhere

Not ideal but he's far from useless and if his attitude's ok he could play a part, especially if any of those front line injuries recur. He'll be behind KAG now in the pecking order but they have different strengths / weaknesses.

Not just you. I thought George had something to offer and if he's back them fine.
