Now, this is an interesting one, and I sincerely hope that our lady CEO has looked deep into the personal file of Zakarya Bergdich.
Recently the Italian media reported that Bergdich allegedly attacked his wife, whilst he was playing for Genoa on loan from Real Valladolid. His wife went to the police claiming that the attack was based on jealousy, but no charges were ever made on Bergdich, and it is thought that his wife withdrew her complaint.
The club are aware of the incident, they have to be, one Google of his name will find a host of Italian and French media reports. Domestic violence is nearly always not a one-off incident, and I really hope that this is the last we ever hear of this alleged behaviour from the new Charlton player.

Two Charlton friendlies to wet your whistle tomorrow.
Tha Addicks play Sint-Truiden Saturday evening in Limburg, whilst a CAFC XI goes to Dulwich Hamlet in the afternoon but will include Stephen Henderson, Rhoys Wiggins, Chris Solly, Johnnie Jackson and Tareiq Holmes-Dennis in their line up.
There may well be other first teamers too as Guy Luzon is concerned about Sint-Truiden’s artificial pitch, and how it could hamper or cause injuries, which begs the question why we are playing them in the first place. The only reason I can think of is that it suits Katrien Meire, the two loves of her life locking horns in a lazy kickabout at dusk on carpet.
