There was a suggestion that Innis was fitter last season because they addressed a muscle imbalance. If they can do the same for Aneke it would be like having a new signing.10

Aden Flint says how he would love to join the Massives, although I am not sure he is confident that they will want him.

Well done! Bally Smart, thirteen years ago. I can't find any others.
It's curious that pay-as-you-play deals are mentioned so often on football forums because in reality they're incredibly rare.4 -
Dunno why, but he's one of those odd names I've never forgotten2

I saw young Bally play for us away at Shrewbury. He was neither Bally nor Smart. Pawel Abbott scored that day IIRC. We were bad last year but not as bad as we were when we had the likes of Bally Smart and Pawel Abbott turning out for us.10

Wasn’t Leon Best on a pay as you play?1

Still think we need a replacement for Inniss. Similar type, but with better discipline, obvs.I’d have kept him in the squad I think.2

50k per goal he scores? If he wants to score 20 goals next season both parties would benefit… he’d only need 5-6 for the season to exceed what he’s on currently.0 -
Whoever was responsible for giving Aneke a long term contract on high wages should never be allowed anywhere near our transfer dealings ever again.

Chuks is so frustrating. Without doubt one of the best forwards in L1 but can’t guarantee more than a dozen games a season. Guess he wouldn’t be at Charlton if you could.2

Chuks Aneke should've been offered an 18 month contract maximum.
I understood why we spent some money on him as he was involved in 36 out of 46 in his last season before his move to Birmingham but knowing his complex medical history and his phobia with starting matches; Chuks started only about 2 of those 36 matches when he was in the 18 man squad.
He had to be reassured that he could start games but he was the super sub and that's how he was used.
Chuks Aneke was the sub who could score a goal every 100 minutes, unfortunately I just can't see how that player from a few seasons back can be seen in 23/24 ?

He has a contract that nobody will want to take off our hands at this stage. It would seem the only way forwards is to get to the bottom of his issues and try to fix them which is what I assume the club is doing. The chances of success may be low, I don't know, but what else can be done and if we do get to the bottom of things, he becomes a massive asset.
The extra subs in the game make a player like him who you can bring on for a half or 30 minutes of real use, providing he can do a job in that time. So even if we don't get a 90 minute player, an effective one half player isn't necessarily a disaster. Yes, nobody would buy such a player, but we have already bought him. It seems logical to make the best out of the situation wheres I am not sure paying him off is.1 -

Important season ahead for Chuks. You'd like to think that with a good pre season behind him he'd be fit and ready to go in August.
But with him turning 30 next month, i fear that if he breaks down again and has another injury ravaged season it might well be his last as a professional.9 -

We knew full well that Inniss wouldn't play the number of games that he did last season too.1

Might be some more movement on player signings next week with some players back to training today5
