Bergdich surplus to requirements

It has been decided that Zakaraya Bergdich is surplus to requirements and will be available in the January transfer window. However, given his record at Charlton, it may be difficult to offload him: Bergdich

Good win for Charlton as Reza scores

It was an evening when some Championship sides were embarrassed. Brentford lost 0-4 at home to Oxford and Blackburn Rovers were defeated at home by Shrewsbury. Seven Championship sides were defeated, while elsewhere Barnet beat Millwall. However, Charlton secured a convincing 4-1 win over Dagenham & Redbridge to go through to the second round of the League Cup.

The Addicks took the lead on 26 minutes when Tony Watt latched onto a Johnnie Jackson pass to fire the ball past Mark Cousins. Karlan Ahearne-Grant doubled their lead with his first Addicks goal before Zakaraya Bergdich scored on his Charlton debut to make it three. Christian Doidge put Dagenham back in it but Reza Ghoochannejhad scored a late goal to send Charlton through.

Watt turned provider as he sent the ball into the box for Bergdich to calmly finish.

Bauer and Serr were steady at the back. Nick Pope seemed vulnerable to any low shots fired straight at him. He nearly got caught out twice.

Attendance was 5,100.

South London Press report is here: Good win

Deal done on Bergdich

According to a tweet by Richard Cawley of the South London Press, Charlton have concluded a transfer deal with Real Vallodold over Zag Bergdich. It will be a long-term contract.

On James Henry, Cawley says that Wolves want more than £500,000 even though his contract has just twelve months to run.

Cawley has also tweeted that Southend have made a bid for Joe Pigott, but it doesn't meet Charlton's valuation.

Cristian Cabellos has signed. He was with Barcelona and then moved on to the Spurs development squad, before a loan spell in Portugal. A midfielder, he can also play at centre forward: Cabellos

Zakarya Bergdich in London

Spanish sources are reporting that Zakarya Bergdich is in London for contract talks with Charlton. A fee of €300,000 is being mentioned. It may, however, be a few days before anything is resolved.

Unconfirmed reports are saying that we have offered a trial to Australian international and utility player Chris Herd. His contract at Aston Villa has apparently been terminated. He had loan spells with Bolton and Wigan in the 2014-15 season.

He has had a lot of injury problems recently which would concern me, but there is nothing lost by taking a look. Career details: Chris Herd

Addicks chase Bergdich

Richard Cawley of the South London Press has tweeted that Charlton are chasing the signature of Zakarya Bergdich. The 26-year old Moroccan left back is registered with Real Vallodolid, but has been on loan at Genoa. He does have French citizenship.

He has been in trouble for domestic violence: Bergdich
