    Hinting on social media this morning that he may be staying on?

    Not sure if that means lots of time left at the club or time at the club running out.

    Time for the first WIOTOS of the summer

    Or the time running out for someone to offer him what he wants.

    I'd always associate an hourglass with time running out personally

    I think it means an announcement is imminent.

    Think it would be strange to include a Charlton montage otherwise.

    Still a side of football I can’t get my head around.  Lots of players seem to take to social media and put up cryptic posts.  There’s nothing wrong with it per se, just comes across to me as a bit unprofessional.  If it is a post related to his contract, does he think putting an egg timer up on Instagram or whatever is going to make our management team go, oh s***, have you seen what Aneke has done, let’s move quickly to get this wrapped up.  It would just leave a bad taste in my mouth if I were negotiating with him 

    It might be nothing, but I’m just saying that if it is in that context, then how would he feel if the official club Twitter put out a picture with a piece of paper and pen out on their feed 
    Gives us something to talk about though!

    It looks as though he's staying to me.

    Who needs Football when we can debate over the meaning of an Instagram post :D

    An egg timer to an announcement is how I read it.

    If we sign him for another year, with NA (and our excellent medical team ;-), I would say that's huge. Having Aneke as a Super-Sub and we get to improve our first choice forward options is huge! It's different to needing and wanting Aneke to start every game. Everybody would be clear on their role.

    Wasn't Nads starting to talk to the out of contract players yesterday?

    If so, I suspect Chucks would have been in his first five, so would assume an offer has been made already if we wanted to keep him on.

    He’s going ... obviously a Dylan fan as he chose a pic with a blue top to provide the message. 


    ‘It’s all over now baby blue’

    I don't see why he's post something like that if he wasn't going to stay

    There's two ways to look at the post, and if anything, the post shows a willingness from Chuks side to stay with us. I don't see why we wouldn't want to keep him so I can see a contract being sorted out.

    I'd love him to stay. Well above the level. Now we have a top medical department, more minutes on the pitch equals more goals. maybe an enticement would be to sign him for three years with the associated security it brings him.
  • Surely going to be an announcement of an extension - as others said why include various images of him in Charlton kit. If we can get him fit enough, with a proper pre-season, to play and start more games over the season then it would be worth it for sure.

    If he's been told by Adkins that we no longer want him, or if he himself has decided to leave, i don't think he'd be posting that.

    You'd surely just post a 'thank you to everyone and really enjoyed my time here' type message.

    Well it's only one of two things, either he has signed and putting a teaser post out for us

    Or

    He isn't getting what he wants/is saying time is ticking for the new season. Either one ain't great when you consider he has a lot of fans who will hang on to a post like this.

    Not a fan of those types of posts unless you already know you're about to announce good news, otherwise it's just a bit attention seeky in my books

    Hope he stays,his goals per minute record is excellent,some great strikers were mainly supersubs.David Fairclough,Solskaar,it just happens to be that some players are more suited as impact players rather than be in the starting line ups.So with the possible physical problems he has,the situation could be ideal.

    My take on the IG post ... time is running out to offer a new contract and he’s turning his back on de cloob

    My take on the pic.... It's now time we see the back of him... Or he's admiring his lockdown curves.

    @Cafc43v3r has already suggested on the transfer rumour thread that he's turned down the contract offer of yesterday and is either hanging on for another offer or another Club.

    Get the feeling that post would support that rumour.

    It definitely could be a montage of his time at Charlton now it is coming to an end. We need to see what develops.

    No that was talking about the Bowyer contract negotiations I believe. 

    *EDIT Doh you're right

    Looks like he is in Bluewater at the moment. Spending some money as he has signed a new contract?

    Next pic is of him at Bluewater, but outside Urban Outfitters, so it's likely he only got a 1 week extension.

    I see he is wearing a blue kit and has his back turned to us.  If he was staying on he would be wearing the red one and facing us.  The hourglass represents the proportion of 90 minutes he plays.


    You just need to know how to read the signs.
