oh_weds_we_love_you Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Danny has shown he's not afraid to have a young GK as number one, so what does that mean for Charles going forward - think he's a chance of being our no.1 next season? Rumour mill on Sunday was talks over a new contract have stalled and his contract runs until next summer. If we go down the route of another Beadle this summer - young, up and coming GK - may that make Charles' decision for him? He'll have seen how the club handled Wildsmith/Dawson over the past 8-10 years and may think he's a better chance of developing and being a no.1 away from Hillsborough.

S72 Owl Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Always tough for young keepers to get game time. Really hope we can get him on a long term deal then get him out on loan next season. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles as well as few other U-21 players MUST go out on loan if We will be playing Championship football next season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, that or be involved (assuming no one there is pushing for any spot really) so loans is a must. I do feel though that if we go down this manager will actually play youth. Not like ones gone by where he said they get their chance then choose to play CM or LWBs at CB. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, Wildsmith has turned down a new deal at Derby and is wanted by 3 or 4 Championship clubs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andypandy Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 If he is going to develop further, he really needs a lot more game time, that would probably best be served on loan especially if we stay up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agentwalker Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Technically he's very very good. My gut feeling though is genetics are going to hold him back from being a top keeper, his height is an issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't be 'another beadle' we'll get the same beadle back in loan probably. He needs a lot more development to be ready for Brighton's first team, so think it's extremely likely he will be coming back here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Published heights ie on Wikipedia, on other websites and reference books are often incorrect. You only have to stand near a player to realise. Players who are meant to be my height were often 2 or 3 inches shorter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the challenge, isn't it - there are so many young GK's out there at bigger clubs who are needing game time; are there many takers for ours? I'd be looking at the likes of Chesterfield as an option. From the little I've seen of Charles, he'd be sold at that level and if we are happy to cover all costs, I'm sure it would be an appealing option. If the rumoured contract stalling is due to wanting game time, then what? Is he close to being our no.1 any time soon? If we do go down, is that his chance? Not sure I'd be overly comfortable with him being no.1 in the Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
