Apparently it was the second time they had knocked an offer back which is why Harold was devastated it seems and fuming with his club. I don't blame Harold Moukoudi if he was looking forward to a move to us and has been denied the chance to move on. 21 and a central defender 6ft 3inch and 11 stone 6 pounds could of been fantastic in our defence, hopefully we can go back for him and the move pays off in the summer. It seems we've highlighted him as a target anyway and unless someone comes and snaps him up I think he will be our central defender as soon as possible. So he refused to join us in the summer but is now seemingly desperate to join us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I'm a huge supporter of Smith so this certainly isn't a dig but its not like our style of play has improved 10 fold in the couple of months Smith has been here. I also have doubts that the club itself would be back in for a player that turned us down a few months back. Looks like a nonsense story to me.

Do you think we will try go back for The 21 year old in the summer? I think we should and make a slightly higher offer of around 9-11 million which may stop any nonsense next time. He's out of contract in summer and will leave them as a free agent.West Ham and Dortmund are apparently interested in him on a free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Central Midfielder mate i've seen him play 6 times would be brilliant pickup if could somehow get him on bosman https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/transfers/joe-aribo-charlton-athletic-transfer-news-bundeliga-move-frankfurt-benfica-latest-a8681186.html Quote Charlton Athletic midfielder Joe Aribo is set to be the latest English youngster to develop his career in Germany. The 22-year-old has six months left on his contract at the Valley and is free to negotiate a pre-contract agreement with foreign clubs next month. Frankfurt and Benfica are at the front of the queue to sign the youngster, who has been one of the stars of Charlton's season so far, with Lee Bowyer's team currently fifth in League One. Charlton have been trying to keep hold of Aribo for some time but he has fallen victim of Roland Duchatelet's cost-cutting measures. The club offered Aribo a new and improved long-term deal in the summer, only to withdraw it and then offer half as much money instead. They have recently made one final bid to keep him with a new improved deal at the Valley but Aribo is much likelier to leave than to stay. There is long-standing interest in the young midfielder from Tottenham, Southampton and Derby County, who were all keen on a potential £1m deal this summer. But the player is now seriously considering a move abroad, inspired by the recent successes of Jadon Sancho and Reiss Nelson in the Bundesliga, with a move there the likeliest outcome. In recent years Charlton have sold Joe Gomez to Liverpool for £3.5m, Ademola Lookman to Everton for an initial £8m and Ezri Konsa to Brentford to £3m, but the club still languishes in League One under Duchatelet's ownership Edited February 10, 2019 by Villan4Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Aribo Lolley in midfield... Will be even funnier when the manager shouts instructions at either to push up. Sorry for making a mockery of this thread.

Couldn't agree more, has the sort of dynamism we lack, failure to secure players like this, or at least be in the mix will show us that we don't quite have the right brains behind the scenes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite few other good lower league players we can also get on bosman's in summer but i have feeling we might be looking more towards Europe. I'll post my want list once i see if the players i liked have signed new deals or not before end June/Early July.

He said he didn't want to join at that time in his career and felt it was too soon to move or something like that. It sounds to me as he made a choice to stay at his club then soon later regretted that choice and tried to leave but his club decided to keep him for more money that would hopefully come with his sale.

I fear though the upper clubs will snap him up just for being young age which really annoys me as he will most likely choose them. Can't wait for those fifa rules to come in..
