Addicks get big ZZ bid

CharltonCharlton could be set to cash in on Zheng Zhi after Alan Pardew revealed the Addicks are considering a substantial bid.

Financial problems at The Valley mean that Pardew is having to trim his squad and after losing Madjid Bougherra to Glasgow Rangers last week, Zheng could now follow.

West Brom are thought to have made the bid and Pardew admits he could lose another star player.

"There is the possibility Zheng Zhi might be going," Pardew revealed. "There is a substantial bid on the table and I think the board are contemplating that.

"There are one or two clubs who have expressed an interest in Zheng Zhi and I don't think it is fair on us or the clubs to name them. There are some decisions I'm afraid I can't dictate and one of those decisions is the finance they need to keep this club's head above water.

"I'm never going to interfere with that because it is the club which has to survive, not me as a manager or any individual player. The bottom line is the security of this club and if they say these players have to go for the security of this club, then they have to go."
