Good player and appears to work for both sides. As long as it's an addition to what we have not taking someone away then I'd be very pleased. Far more so than with some Prem player

Hopefully the competition that Stephens and Kayal need to keep up their incredible form of last season. Ince and JFC would thrive in that league if a swap is in the offing.

We just about got away with Stephens and Kayal In central midfield last season without a lot of cover available. I'm sure the aim for a good squad would be to have four CMs - cover, and competition, for each and every place. So, if we hang on to Kayal and Stephens, and Cousins makes three, are we counting Richie Towell as number four?
Good read, not full of unnecessary vitriol. Most seem to think he'll be a good fit here
Apart from the poster who thinks that QPR would be better for him as they're more likely to get promoted ("Brighton have had their good season"). At least he got shouted down by a few of the others

Christ, that forum is a bit of a ghost town, I looked at the rumours thread & "Stephens to Brighton" was still right up there! I like Charlton & wish them well in their quest to get back to The Championship.

Only a 62 Bronze in FIFA 16, so it's a no from me.

Stephens was rated at 64 when we bought him, look how that turned out.... (minus the injuries of last season, of course)

Yes indeed. Folk go on about the amazing Alan Judge but I believe Mr Towell is very similar. Stephens, Kayal, Cousins and Towell would be a formidable central 4.
Hopefully the departures of Ince & JFC will more than fund this investment. Whilst I like both of them, they can't hang around at a club that does not play their preferred 5 in midfield. They'd both tear-up league one if we sent them there.

IMHO JFC is a good player with potential. CH does not play a system which suits him. I may be in the minority on here but will be sad to see him go but understand why.
You are being a bit harsh on JFC who just had a very good 6 months at a Championship side

Not seen such Bravery!
JFC is out of contract next summer.
Either
(a) Cash in.
(b) Cash in for less in January.
(c) Give him a new contract.
(d) See him walk away for no fee next summer.

Not at all. I think he is a good player with bags of potential but he is no box to box player like Kayal & Stephens. It's best for him to thrive and develop in a 5 man midfield as he did at MK. I don't think we'll be able to offer him that under CH in the championship.
I meant more the comment of him tearing up League One
