After our experience with Chuks Aneke and Chris Solly with his knee issue how can we buy Stephen Sessegnon (another loan maybe) when he struggles to play two games in a row and I believe no operation was possible or needed ?
We can't keep having players who are only fit for 23 matches. If they get injured while playing for us then that is football but why buy someone with an on going issue ?
It gives our negative fans a chance to blame our medical staff and coaches all the time. Well done to our medical staff for helping Ryan Inniss to be fit for selection in over 40 matches last season; he missed more games through suspension than injury last season which ironically was his last at Cafc.
The thought of Chuks playing 23 matches would be fantastic; despite his abilities it must be time to pay up Aneke's contract as despite being muscular and strong his body can't do contact sport. He was available for 36 out of 46 matches before he left for Birmingham but only 13 in 22/23. A real shame.

It was said no operation was needed but that’s possibly because he didn’t want to miss games and it was manageable by not playing every game. He might now have had the operation, so that he’s ready for next season. He played 33 games last season so I’d still say he’s worth signing as long as he isn’t asking for too much
Might be a bit risky having him and Egbo as the only right back options though as both struggled with injuries, Asiimwe did look like he could be a good option though so maybe he will be good enough to step up
Paying off Aneke doesn’t make any sense whatsoever. There’s no way he’d accept anything less than what he’s owed so we’d end up paying him probably around £500k that we are going to be paying him anyway so might as well get some use out of it.
Would much rather we keep trying to get him fit, it’s not likely but he has done it before. Even getting 20 sub appearances out of him would make a significant difference in terms of our points total for the season
I think even with Aneke available for a chunk of the season I'd still want 2 strikers in - gives the chance to get Dan Kanu either a top end NL or lower L2 loan.
Aneke is the perfect bench player so no dramas keeping him, can anyone recall a player in modern history that has had the sub impact that Chuks has for us? Players just look demoralised up against him. Football is squad game and if Chuks can offer us 20/30 minutes every league game and with the potential impact he has, I don't think we are at a loss.
Sess would be a fantastic signing for us, he's a 100%er, seems to like it here and is a talented young player, two thumbs up from me.
The pipe dream now is Alfie May and potentially Stockton, although I've heard he is looking likely to go to Derby County.
Just food for thought, would anyway be too upset if we sold Leaburn and replaced him with JCH, not to be one of those annoying twitter accounts but if (big IF) we did manage to sell the likes of Kirk and Lavelle and get a fee for Leaburn, I think that would be quite good business.
Been an admirer of JCH for some time and as others have stated I don't see him being too favourable for a championship move, I don't think he did enough while up there to justify the asking price, you get him in league 1 though and it practically guarantees the play offs with his goal return.
Imagine the little man big man combo of JCH and Alfie May, my word
Josh Key would be a fantastic signing regardless of if we got Sess or not. Would take Sam Smith too even if we signed May , as he can operate wide as well.
Harvey Knibbs would be a good option if we're looking for wingers.

Josh Key will end up in the championship, Swansea I think. Archie Collins from Exeter might be more realistic and a good upgrade on Morgan

If we try we'll know we're fishing in the right ponds.
Oh how I'd love a return to the 2011 summer when we beat Championship clubs to quality L1 full backs.
It depends with Aneke now. Each injury knocks your explosive pace and power. Instead those kinda players end up getting lairy and into mini rucks because of frustration.
If we are making serious enquiries for players like Alfie May things are looking up if we can get 4 or 5 signings of that ilk we will have a great chance next season
Have heard that Alfie May and Bradley Dack are good mates. Would be great to sign both in next couple of weeks as I feel we need to really hit the ground running.

I'd be amazed if Bradley Dack comes to Charlton. It would be a huge wage cut, his history with us is not good and the last time I spoke to his mum she said he was very happy living in Salford Quays.

I'm very happy living where I live. But if I was out of work and new job offers were at the other end of the country, then I would have to move

I am off to Slaford Quays this morning, I'll have a word if I see him.

You might have to leave a message. He is on Honeymoon in Dubai at the moment!

You are not alone with that choice. With Footballers it always about options in their short careers. Jayden Stockley was very happy living in Godstone, Surrey with his wife and 3 children including his new born Son. We met at a National trust property in Sussex the week after the Ipswich 4-0 defeat in the final game. Remember this is when he was rated by most Charlton fans after 20 goals in all competitions with a strike partner !
" I'm settled in the south and at Charlton and don't want to go back up North."
JJ leaves, Garner comes in and Stockley in a 3 up front looks lost and by the time Holden takes over, JS loses the captain's armband and is benched.
Window opens and Jayden with his Dale Stephens Satnav ends up in Fleetwood! "It was a no brainer move as I can play in a two up front" Some thing smells fishy and no talk of the beautiful south 🤷🏼♂️
I would imagine Dack would've Championship or League 1 clubs within commuting distance from Salford interested so no need to return south if he and his WAG are settled.

Yeah but he resides in Salford Quays, you going to Slaford Quays will be useless.
Anyway if you do make it to Salford Quays, just chat to him via his Ring Video Doorbell.

So is Albie at the moment. Perhaps they are swapping shirts
The old Aneke question. Of course, we have to keep him, unless the owners are flush with cash and are happy to pay him up, but I highly doubt that.
The issue I have with it is that people still have the opinion that he’s this beast who terrorizes defences based on the 20/21 season. He was affective coming off the bench, but with each year that has past, and each additional injury, he’s become less effective.
I am not saying he’s isn’t worth keeping given the contractual situation and the fact we know he’s knackered, but I don’t believe he’s capable of what he once was, even coming off the bench

I think that’s fair. Holden will know everything he needs to know by the end of pre season.

Anyway back to football manager
Anyone know the facts as a fully fit Sess would be a great signing. imo
Joe Ward - Peterborough
Archie Collins - Exeter
Harvey Knibbs would be a good option if we're looking for wingers.
Oh how I'd love a return to the 2011 summer when we beat Championship clubs to quality L1 full backs.
Let's see.
