Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 4 June, 2010 Share Posted 4 June, 2010 (edited) Excellent! Concerned that Norwich are competing to sign him from a higher division but if Markus waves enough bunce in his direction, and promises a proper crack at promotion, it might be enough to keep him in League 1.

Colinjb Posted 4 June, 2010 Share Posted 4 June, 2010 Stop, stop this positive reaction. We have 3 pound booking charges and lack of payment schemes to protest against. We must not endorse anything from the club until these VITAL issues are rectified. Now if you don't mind I have a video to market. My word Bailey would be an awesome signing.

Chez Posted 4 June, 2010 Share Posted 4 June, 2010 he did well in the championship, was happy to stay and try and get Charlton promoted, but surely if he is to leave Charlton it would only ever be to a CCC side? I'd be surprised if we could get him if there was genuine CCC interest, but who knows. Fonte dropped down a division so anything is possible.

patred44 Posted 4 June, 2010 Share Posted 4 June, 2010 Bailey's best football buddy is Jason Puncheon. Charlton need to raise £500k in the next two weeks to stave off Admin and we are the only club interested with that sort of money on the hip Pardew and Bailey have a good relationship, not only did he sign for Charlton, he also made him skipper. Baileys family want to remain in the south.. Bailey recognises we are going on an upward direction THERE'S 5 REASONS HE COULD SIGN US... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Le God Posted 4 June, 2010 Share Posted 4 June, 2010 Norwich have signed two central midfielders in the last few days - Andrew Crofts and David Fox. Maybe they missed out on Bailey and went with other options? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I picked him out two seasons ago as a very good defensive midfielder. He went off the boil the season before last, but returned to form last season. Ideal player for us. Just what we are missing.

Joensuu Posted 4 June, 2010 Share Posted 4 June, 2010 Charlton concensus seems to be that he gives 100% workrate, and scores a fair few (although only 2 in 2010). They seem to think he hasn't dominated the midfield like they wanted him to, hense why he has been moved to the wing. His passing is frequently mentioned as a weakness. Value suggested around £400k, although one person suggested he'd be disappointed with less than £100k. Overall, most seem to rate him, but don't mind too much if he leaves.
