Transfer window PLUS details of £500K transfer of defender

[Phoenix Shrimp 2017]

Two defenders out in such a short time. Is this going to be an opportunity for a younger lad to step up and take advantage to prove what he's worth with the slightly longer break ?

Well we have the young lad Jacob Mensah waiting in the wings in addition to the three experienced centre halves currently on the books and I’ve always thought that Gibbo could play there if required. The level of cover we have probably played a part in releasing Sam.

No doubt the board thought the sale was inevitable and prepared in advance

an happy ending, id of been gutted if we lost him for nothing next summer.

It was Sams choice to move on after rejecting an improved contract offer from the club. Once he rejected that the club had no choice to move him on as there is no way they could afford to lose out on a couple of hundred thousand pounds. £700k for two players who were in their last year is good business. I wish him well, his conduct as a player and Captain has been of the highest standard.

At least nobody at Charlton will be calling him Ben!
