Feel a bit sorry for him actually, been bought by Boro as a right back when he is really a midfielder.
How many more games does he need before he’s considered a right back? He barely played anywhere else for our first team. If he was good enough as a midfielder I’m sure Bowyer would have used him there.

The bloke blatantly is a right back. And a potentially very good one. We know because we’ve seen it. A couple of months ago all the talk on here was about how far he could go in the game, all based on watching him play right back.
Gives me no pleasure to hear he is struggling up there, but sometimes a player needs to be at the right club, under the right manager.
Think I mentioned on here before, but from what I’ve heard Anfernee was on the verge of quitting football before we picked him up. He’d been rebuilding his career with us and was going in the right direction. Seems he may have moved too early and set himself back, but he hasn’t got Bowyer and Jacko’s guidance and support anymore either.

Just shows how fragile a footballer’s career is - one wrong move and look what can happen.
Come home Anfernee. You'll have to win your place back but we know what you can produce under this management.
I fear that the management sacrificed him to get funds to build the squad. Feel a bit sorry for the lad.
I also fear he was squeezed out far too early for his own development and wish people would stop gloating because he is struggling to settle in at Boro.

He wasnt squeezed out, if he didnt want to go he wouldnt have gone.
Don't think anyone is to blame, he left for more money and what he thought was a better team, we let him leave to use the money in more key areas. What happens next is not his or our fault.
I feel for the lad. He strikes me as a family man and he’s probably struggling to settle . Who can blame him. Would love him back on a free at the end of the season.

But Bowyer did get him playing well as a right back eventually - something I couldn't see when he came into the team last season. But I agree, he is not a right back.
Borough are desperate to get promoted,at Charlton,he would have b een given time,and the fans would have been patient.He will not have the same luxury up there.Just another example of a player making the wrong move at the wrong time to earn his agent a few bob.Nothing against the lad hope all turns out ok for him,but we certainly have not missed him.
Sometimes it’s a lose-lose situation for young departing players with original fans.
Anfernee goes to Boro and immediately plays to the level we know he can, then many of our fans will say he only left for the higher salary etc.
Anfernee goes to Boro and struggles to settle in quickly and play his normal game, some of our fans will say feel sorry for him as our management forced him out to cash in.
For the latter, it’s surely still a players choice. Lee pulls Anfernee into his office, says Boro have made a bid and were looking to accept it, Anfernee turns around and says no boss I want to fight and be your number 1 RB. But it seems doubtful that happened.
He is a decent player and will come through it. It was a good move for him financially and a good move for us as we needed the money to put together the squad we have. Football wise it wasn't right, but most agents don't care about that.
Thought he did ok yesterday particularly in the second half. Glimpses of the AD we know. He’ll be alright but I agree I think he’s struggling to settle.
Feel bad for him but I'm sure he'll come good. It's easy to forget he's gone up a division at a young age and he might have been turning in these performances for us this season if he'd stayed. His only contribution for us this season was that woeful header for the OG, and it's not like he's a seasoned pro returning to his level. I hope he gets there for Boro, but if it's the case that Bowyer and Gallen were only able to perform their deadline day heroics off the back of the sale of Anfernee then I'd take that every time.
Sell him to raise funds for our promotion push this season, Anfirnee pretends to be shocking for a few months then Boro sell him back to us for peanuts in January where he reverts to being a good player for us and helping cement our place at the top of the league.
When you have no money to spend you make sure you get the absolute best out of everyone, arm round shoulder, coach, cajole etc. Your fans also likely have realistic expectations and give patience and time.
when you have money it is easier to discard and move on, fans have leas patience and time.
That is the current difference between us and Boro. AD was far from the finished product and as I said when he left he had equal chance of shining and moving up in the leagues as failing.
I certainly don’t feel sorry fo the lad; he will be on a very decent wage no doubt which may even set him up for life or certainly go a long way towards doing so and he could have stayed and signed a new contract with us. His choice to leave. Good luck to him; clearly a very decent young man.

Dijksteel shocking
Absolutely! I think Dijksteel should have stayed in the Dutch 3rd division
Dijksteel out of his depth at this level...
Dijksteel 💩💩

Nice stark warning for anyone else thinking they can do what Joe Aribo did and be a successful
