Let's drop Small too as he might not be here next year. Nonsense as usual.
Not sure it's entirely nonsense, Aneke when he comes on isn't able to press like other forwards and that can sometimes change the favour of the game against us.
His argument for Ahadme over Aneke was that Aneke has no future at the club, not that Ahadme can press better.
If we want someone to press we have Kanu on the bench who is better at that than Ahadme.
Aneke is on the bench to cause mayhem if we need a goal in the last 15 mins.

Ahadme doesn't do any better at pressing and is far worse at finishing.

Exactly..and why it was a bad choice to bring him on against Blackpool, arguably at all but certainly not as early as he came on

Aneke should only been used when we need a goal and will lump balls to him not when we're in front. Was left unused on Saturday which made sense.

Can't say he "caused Mayhem" against Blackpool though and the last few cameo's he's had he has wasted oppurtunities being desperate to score - I'd argue his time as the club is coming to an end as a player.

It must be a bit tough for him though, he's never going to be match sharp as he can't get the game time, yet he's expected to make a difference every time he's called upon.

He was brilliant at Bolton, definitely still has a role to play when he’s fit. I think Saturday showed Jones had learned from Blackpool and we probably won’t see Aneke come on when we are winning unless it’s a case of us struggling to hold the ball up
Aneke will score a game winning/point salvaging goal between now and the end of the season.
I doubt Ahadme will.
(However I am actually in support of Gassan and think he'll go on to do well, in the early part of the season it was his constant running, pressing and movement that opened up space for others, and tired defenders before Godden and Aneke used to come on and punish teams)

Came here to say this ^^
Ahadme runs like he's stuck in treacle. Adds no pressure in a press.

His physical presence unnerves the opposition defenders though.
Every day in training, he gets a chance to earn a spot. We can conclude he is the worst striker in training.
Surely the club regrets this one. Thus far, a disaster of a marquee signing.
Agree with this - assume Jones regrets the signing. But all managers make mistakes with transfers, it’s just a shame it was our most expensive signing for a while.

True, Chuks isn't mobile enough now, but his presence causes chaos in opposition defences, creating opportunities for other players.
Ahadme isn't especially mobile, and isn't that physical either. Clearly the club thought he would be more imposing, as the introductory article mentions several times his physical presence.

If we are losing a game (it’s been a while!) then I think a Chuks and Leaburn double sub could cause carnage, and work really well for Leaburn. The biggest centre back will obviously pick up Chuks but then that could leave Leaburn with a centre back he can easily overpower

Can't think of many centre backs in league one he could easily over power tbh.

The 2nd was “I don’t make football decisions” Methven mouthing off on his potential fee, Where in any other part of SE7s business have we seen such investment parameters. Coventry was supposed to cost a £1mn yet seemingly signed on a free with apparently a 50% sell on fee.
The 3rd was he like everybody started in a side with the collective creativity of a brick wall. In a sequence of the most sterile performances in living memory no forward player could be argued to have prospered. None of the wing backs or midfield players provided any width of service whatsoever.
He came with a CV of circa 15 League goals in 40 League 1 starts with a few more from circa 40 appearances off the bench. He has delivered a prodigious work rate (at both ends of the pitch) and a willing if not over powering aggression. Is that pretty standard of League 1 & League 2? Yes, yet In his 14 starts with us he has contributed in League, Cup and Trophy to 7W 2D 5L.
He has badly struggled with a new role. He has not been alone in that.
My challenge for him now is the playing style has evolved which I am not sure suits his style either. With Leaburn & Aneke offering the physical options, Godden offers a more mobile and better footballing solution where Kanu with his mobility offers a more natural replacement/ competition.
Yet Kanu last season delivered an exceptional run 13 starts leading the line in the relegation battle. That he has struggled to progress this season is testimony as to how fickle this game can be.
I ain’t writing anybody off yet.
PS Ahadme has not started a League game since early December.
I cant see that he has anything about him myself, but I presume we didn't try to offload him in the last window, and I think we must trust Jones who seems to think he's worth keeping. Unless he has photos of Nathan with a sheep and therefore some sort of hold over him!

He’ll end up being the latest in a long line of players that will go for nominal fees / contract ripped up- Kirk/ Fraser /Edun/ Mcgrandles .i do hope we didn’t pay much money for him.
It has been said many times on here and I have to agree that he honestly looks like a competition winner given a game. You can talk about systems that dont suit etc all you want but the bloke has really poor ball control, absolutely zero pace, wins hardly any headers, doesnt hold the ball up. Regardless of systems any professional sportsman should show some kind of quality if it exists. If we paid anything for him then Ipswich had our pants down.
I agree with the above he will quietly be released
Ahadme was playing in a side that at the time had 0 width and was still blending - his oppurtunies were few and far between. I wonder with more chances coming each game and more width if we'd see a different version of him.
When he joined and was playing things were tense even amongst us fans so you'd imagine now the mood around the place is different, it definitely is in the stands.
Think regardless of what league we're in next season and whatever happens with Miles he's one I could see on the outs list. Another costly mistake from the recruitment side of things.
Not sure how he even works his way back into the squad with DK fit again
