Chuks (p.61 - Released)

Diawara was good, however he had Djimi "I've got a champions league medal" Traore and Amdy Faye playing next to, and infront of him. 

There's 20 centre backs alone we could list that are worse than him 

Are any of those in the Ex Players Association? Just wondering 🤔

Thought I read Young had joined somewhere.

He was at the  launch (but not with the 06/07 crowd). They did that picture remember



 Karkouri last managed in Qatar (out of work since 2023), Hreidarsson managing in Iceland, Looks like Diawara is doing ambassador and hosting work.

Only thing I can find on Amdy Faye was an article wondering who the hell he is and Djime well:
he was tracked down by those Redmen Tv folk (for their Talking Istabul doc), Head coach AS Monaco B team (Elite group), and playing the fight aids cup.

not having Diawara in there 

I’m really not sure about including Josh Parker on that list. He did a lot of water carrying so the snake could score a ton of goals. Maybe in terms of individual capability Chuks is better, but in terms of overall contribution to the team I wouldn’t say Parker deserves to be on the list. Parker also will have cost a fraction of what Chuks has and contributed to a much greater return.

If Leaburn learnt the "dark arts" off Chuks, than just about every defence in our division would crap themselves when faced with them two playing together.

I'm sure there's someone much closer to home that could educate him with regards to putting himself about, hold up play etc. In fact, if he had his dad's ability to do that to add to his own game he would be the complete the centre forward.

I've been going to Charlton since the late 80s and i have no recollection of who these guys are:

Florent Rouamba

Jordan Cook

Kevin Feely

But for me any list of our worst players can only really have players that have featured over the last 10 years or so. Yes we had some bad signings and underperforming players in the Premier league era, but they were still miles better players than some of the donkeys we've had under Duchatalet and in league one.

Jeffers for example was an awful signing for the money spent in relation to his goal return, but having him on a list with players like Mike Small and Ahadme is silly.

I'm guessing it's Kevin Foley. Funnily enough if I've recalled the right bloke he was ex Luton, as per our current model.

We had both. Kevin Feely was a young Irish CB we had in the RD years, coincidentally born in Belgium. He quit football and now plays Gaelic football.

This might be the most classic Charlton player arc of them all. The Charlton to non-footballer speedrun

Chuks could have been one of the best had it not been for his fitness issues.

Chuks is probably the most naturally talented player in the squad (or at the very least in the top 3) BUT he's not fit enough often enough to turn that into being the best actual player.

That said, the weekend did prove that even a 80-90% effective Chuks is still incredibly useful to have as an option off the bench.

Chuks is the best player in our team. 

I've given this a like, but Small has the highest ceiling imo

Amdy Faye is THE worst player ever to play for us and look what he cost us - £2 Mil . Comparing him to Chuks is ridiculous . I know Chucks has massive injury problems but at least when he he does get a game he put's everything into it. When Amdy Faye played we might as well have had ten men on the pitch. I've never seen a player hide from the ball as he did. He stole a living 

I do remember Faye as being awful but ffs if he was worse than CHRISTOPHE LEPOINT then my memory must be worse than I thought…
