At the very least, Fleming seems pragmatic enough that he probably will keep using Aneke as the impact sub, and seems like the kind of person that will hopefully have an arm around the metaphorical shoulder and have Chuks seeing this as an important part to play (which it is.)Covered_End_Lad said:
If we use him properly and only bring him on for 15 mins per game he should be okay, the last few times he has broken down its because we decided to start him in games. Just accept he is a 10-15 minute impact player and use him solely as that.Elthamaddick said:
sadly that's unlikely to happen (him staying fit for 5/6 games)BigRedEvil said:
Aneke back will be huge, no coincidence when he was fit we had out best run of form for the season.. He can hold the ball up, bring others into it and also create chances for himselfsam3110 said:I want another wingback and a 10, and if I'm greedy a new target man striker, however I'd also take Aneke coming back and being that man from the bench, as long as we don't try and start him in any games
If he can stay fit for 5/6 games it'll be enough to keep us away from relegation0 -

I don’t know why people seem to have such a short term memory, but in recent seasons Aneke has broken down on the pitch after coming on as a sub as well as getting injured when not even playing.
Ultimately if he is ‘fit’ then he should be used as the team needs him. There’s no point in saying he should only come on for ‘20 minutes’ or so - football matches don’t just unfold in a way where you can always conveniently use someone in such a way.
What happens if we are under the pump and need a change and go 2-0 down, or a striker gets injured, or we need to change formation and tactics - but these all happen with much longer left in the game?
It’s just wasting an option from the bench if he can only fit into such a niche time period.8 -
Surely any of somebody else’s money available to Methven needs to be used to pay off Appleton, and the equivalent amount kept in reserve to pay off Mark Warburton or Nathan Jones by the end of the year.2

The issue with Aneke has often been that he's been over used, whether that's off the bench or from the start, because of a lack of quality options. With May and Ladapo starting and Kanu able to make an impact off the bench then Aneke wouldn't need to play minutes every single match. Until he's fully up to speed I don't think he should even be playing 30 mins on a Saturday and a Tuesday.1

Said it before but Max Dean at MKDons. Should have got him at the start of the window. They are talking £1M now and that will go up imo.
Looks a carbon copy of Alfie May to me. Imagine two of them upfront, any defence we played against would be exhausted by the running and constant chat and shithousery by the pair.
He is only 19 I think so would be the long term successor.
A very "Peterborough" type signing.. will probably go higher now though3 -
Agree you can’t start Chuks but there’s as much likelihood of him pulling up coming on and trying to make an impact as at any other time. I accept that coming on for the last 15 mins has the least impact of disruptions to the team and tactics but 15 mins here and there won’t get him match fit and I’ll be amazed if he doesn’t break down again. Let’s hope not.0

We are foolish to not use Aneke when he is available as he is proper quality but his endless injury issues mean he needs to be a complete bonus not a reason to stop signing another option.4

Hopefully that bloke in from Brighton will see us using players a bit more properly going forward.1

Think your dislike / distrust of Methven is firmly on record, and you could well be right (it's a 50/50 shot), but you ain't gotta keep reinforcing the point.

Because I am obsessive about Charlton Athletic.
I am pretty sure Methven will forgive me given his Theology degree and obsession for Oxford United.
Here is a question floated by several, but not yet answered.How much money per month or per year, including expenses, do Methven, Rodwell, Scott, Warrick, Leneghan, Eliot (and any other obvious ones I have forgotten) get out of the club, and does it represent good value for our legion of billionaire owners, or will we wake up one day deep in debt without the VAT and other taxes paid?9 -

Taking the discussion on a transfer thread into areas of affordability is not thread derailment in my opinion.2

It obviously is.seth plum said:Taking the discussion on a transfer thread into areas of affordability is not thread derailment in my opinion.
Start a new thread, although no one knows or could hazard a guess until the accounts come out.4 -
I disagree. Plenty of posters on this thread have mentioned costs, fees and affordability. So it is not ‘obvious’ that the financials are a derailment.1

"When he is available"...i'm beginning to wonder of he was just a figment of our imagination..he has "been involved" in 6, yes SIX matches this season, injured for 23...I would say he was a bonus just to see him again...rumour is he may emerge some time soon...🤷♂️ValleyBen said:We are foolish to not use Aneke when he is available as he is proper quality but his endless injury issues mean he needs to be a complete bonus not a reason to stop signing another option.0 -
Exactly my point but even if he is only available for another six games this season, we might as well get him on the pitch.eastterrace6168 said:

Just cannot count him as part of our squad when planning a seasons recruitment.
That is a failing of the decision makers if they use Aneke being almost back as an excuse to not bring in someone like the lump from Port Vale.5 -
Don't think it’s got anything to do with us what salary they're on. If it does eventually all go sideways and someone is on the take, then of course it becomes of interest, but can't see this "SMT" pulling the wool over all these investors eyes without someone realising. Especially considering there's been so much "disposable" spent on players.seth plum said:Because I am obsessive about Charlton Athletic.

If we get a new manager/head coach before Thursday, he may want a say in any other transfers0

The three in bold are employees and presumably on reasonable salaries and/or performance related pay. Methven is an investor (owner) with (alledgedly) less thatn 5% so is probably in it for a return at some point. Elliott and Gavin Carter are both non-exec directors so either unpaid or, most likely, on relatively small retainers plus expense. Not sure about Leneghan as not mentioned on the CAFC website under owners/staff.seth plum said:Because I am obsessive about Charlton Athletic.
