I guess he will be off soon? As soon as I see one of these "**** ****** signs" threads reappear, the word "Gone" seems to appear in brackets within a day or two.1

Think he’ll cause L1 defences some problems next year (if he’s with us).7

Thought he looked really good at the end of last season. Few teams couldn't handle him.
But FFS why is everyone getting injured again? Season hasn't even started!3 -

He has spent large parts of his career injured as have many of our team. Our injury record is not really bad luck it is a function of a tiny uncompetitive budget meaning we have bought in players who cannot stand the rigour of a season.Chunes said:Thought he looked really good at the end of last season.

Yeah I've twisted my ankle in some pretty freak situations - Hopefully it was like that for him and he was having a great pre season otherwisese9addick said:

Back training with the boys from tomorrow as far as I know. He will of course need game time to ensure he’s up to speed, but he’ll be a big player for us this season if he gets a run of games which I am sure he will do.29

I am getting a little tired of his proneness to injuries. He needs to get an injury free run and then I think he will be an asset. I would like to see how we do with two units like Davison and Aneke playing together. I'm not sure, but I think it could be a good combo at League One level.2

always amazed me we let him walk down the steps of the west stand when playing during lockdown with his injury record - i would have made him get the lift15

Will Chuks be key for us this season? I think he flatters to deceive. Charges through players, looks unstoppable and then provides absolutely nothing at the end of it. He told Bowyer he wanted to take over from Taylor but provided no goals and no assists in the restart as we got relegated. He looks like he’s blown up after ten minutes when he starts and doesn’t change games when he comes on. Bonne gets a lot of grief for not being a genius player but when we needed it he was the one providing goals that got us points, whereas Chuks contributes very little but is still seen as a game changer. Add to that the fact he doesn’t really fit Bowyer’s system I can see us having more of the same in L1. I really hope I’m wrong because he definitely has the ability, but I’m feeling a bit jaded with Chuks now2

I agree, I think his fitness levels and injury problems mean he’ll always be a squad player for us. Can see him getting a few goals and assists but don’t see him playing 90 minutes very often or consistently starting games.Garrymanilow said:Will Chuks be key for us this season?

On Bowyer’s system it’ll be interesting to see what becomes his favoured one, he tried a 451/433 yesterday, ended the season mainly playing a flat 442 and before that preferred a 442 diamond and occasionally a 532/352.
In one of the SLP articles Bowyer or Gallen talked about wingers, perhaps he’s moving towards 442 and 451/433 being his main formations. One reason the diamond worked in League 1 because our midfielders and strikers were comfortable drifting wide and running with the ball to add width, particularly Aribo, Grant, Taylor and Williams, and Cullen wasn’t bad at it either. Bonne isn’t as suited to that and a midfielder similar to Aribo will be hard to find, as good Gallagher was he’s a more traditional box to box midfielder who you want playing through the middle.

Genuinely believe that the intensity of League One will be fine for him. It was the jump from League Two to Championship that he struggled with initially, that caused him to be more susceptible to injuries.Garrymanilow said:Will Chuks be key for us this season?

Before last season, Aneke wasn’t really injured much in his career. Depending on how Bowyer wants us to play this season, we could see him in a more number 10 position. His strength, hold up play, and directness will be a huge asset for us in this league. Defenders will be scared of him and if he is alongside/playing just behind either Bonne or Washington, that’s a decent threat in this league.
Don’t write him off, that’s for sure.

Chuks needs to be available otherwise it won't matter that we are only in League One. If he's not fit, he'll be in and out of the team and restricted to 20 mins here and there. He's got to lose the impact-player tag.2

Maybe that's what he wants him to be? Or Lee's being polite and doesn't want to publicly say he's not good enough to be a starter? To actually be an impact player, first you need to make an impact. I personally don't mind Chuk's, but I doubt even his biggest fans would argue he really had an impact with any end product when he's come on. Hopefully he can show what he can do in a lower league...If he can stay fit.Chunes said:

Unfortunately, I can only see our injury situation getting worse once Nimer leaves the club and all the medical experts he sent over go back to the UAE.

Reading away last season he came on, looked useful using strength and being direct and won our penalty for the second goal.DRAddick said:

There is the potential for him to really make a difference, but I can't see it being consistently, unfortunately for us. I'd love to be wrong.
Bristol City away he came on, 5 minutes later he looked exhausted and was like we played with 10 men.
Not really sure how to get the best from him.0 - Sponsored links:

Why should the medical expert(s), are we talking about Danny Murphy? (no not him), go back to the UAE, I am sure if TS wants the best, and he/they are supposed to be the best, then I am sure he can pay him/them what Nimer was paying him/them, if he/they want to stayGillis said:Athletico Charlton said:

To be fair he scored the goal that would've kept us up. But it was wrongly called offside.16

He got the assist for Bonne’s last minute equaliser vs Wigan, the goal that most people thought would keep us up.Garrymanilow said:Will Chuks be key for us this season?

If fit, wonder where he will start? Guess Bonne & Washington will start up front. Chuks just behind? At L1 level he should be very useful. Hope so as we need firepower. Really hope Bonne does well and scores lots but have concerns that this might not happen. Not sure Washington has a lot of goals in him either. Usually you need a consistent and regular goal scored when pushing for promotion. Perhaps I am being too ambitious and this season will be mid table at best. Hope not. Hope the TS deal goes through this week.0
