Chuks Aneke - speculation re 2023/24 season (p60)
Comments

Perfectly understandable, and appropriate that he concentrate on his livestock, a fresh born calf needs to suckle within its first few hours, because, without the colostrum/beestings, it will not have the antibodies necessary to survive.stonemuse said:Chuks Aneke has picked up a fresh calf problem in the close-season, Dean Holden tells @BBCLondonSport #cafc
It's a very worrying time for any herdsman, and he's probably better off concentrating on that, TBH, especially if it's a pedigree...

It’s endless. I feel for him, but we’re into ever decreasing circles now. It’s getting to the point where he struggles to get fit, even to do his cameo roleGarrymanilow said:
Yeah, after another difficult setback he should just give up and retire aged 30. Do you think he's got loads of other career prospects lined up?cabbles said:

I doubt the insurer would pay out for a calf strain! That's the problem, little knock after pulled muscle after little knock etc. it's frustrating but it's not a valid reason to retire and get a payout on the insurance.cabbles said:

Time to retireI love chucks and get wound up reading comments on here, not because i disagree, but because they are true. Unfortunately we have another two years of this.

We won’t see him this season. His calf injury will prevent him having a proper pre season and when and if he gets back he’ll get injured again quickly. The poor bloke really needed a good run at pre season but his body just fails him time after time. I’m betting we’ll be having this conversation again next year.4

Why the hell did we resign him? I wonder who's decision it was? JJs?0

It sounds like a disaster already for this season. Not going to get a proper pre-season training so when able to return training he will be playing catch up with limited match minutes. Don’t think Aneke played any minutes until 13th game of last season. Wouldn’t be having money on the under’s when we will see him again.0

I am certain that Chuks himself is not happy with his contribution and that if he could do anything to change it he would.DaisyEdwards said:
I think I do.Bolderhumphreyreid said:
You don’t get it do you?DaisyEdwards said:
It is true he has a lot of time off work to be with his family and friends. Wish I could get away with it. It is also true that he does not warm up correctly.Bolderhumphreyreid said:
Ridiculous comment.bolloxbolder said:
I doubt it £10k a week, holidays a plenty and as we all can see at the valley, he doesn't even warm up properly.Addick_8 said:
I hope he doesn't visit this site ( some players do ) and see some of the comments in this thread.It’s sad that many posters are ridiculing Chucks. I’m sure that chucks is just as frustrated and even more so for him than us. Please show some compassion rather than laughing about someone else’s misfortune.
I find it fascinating that some of you forget that he is human. As frustrating as it is for us, it's tenfold for him.
Stealing a living.
I always remember John Gregory finding it hard to understand why Stan Collymore could be depressed when he was earning £20k a week.
That was probably 20 years ago.You don’t know anything about Chuks so be careful with comments like that.
As for the comment about not warming up properly, unless you see what the coaching staff want from him how do you know?
He is not earning the money the club pay him. Football industry has no resemblance to real life.
I am certain there are no coaching staff at Charlton who are happy with his contribution.
Sounds to me he’s worked so hard to get himself back in good shape in the off season that he’s overdone it and injured his calf. Maybe the club ought to have got him someone who could train with him to prevent these issues.
Football industry might be out of touch with real life for many things, mainly at the top of the game, but it’s real life to him and for the club.
I feel sorry for him more than anything else.I'll second that final line.2 -

Chuks would have played at a consistently higher level if it wasn’t for his injury problems. That was obvious by seeing him play. A class footballer who has drawn the short straw with injuries. It must be very frustrating for him.21

And that was after getting injured in his 1st pre-season game.SouthWest_Addicks said:It sounds like a disaster already for this season.

Word on the street, well Sparrows Lane, is that Chucks was re-signed shortly after the Black Box was converted to run on artificial intelligence.AdTheAddicK said:Why the hell did we resign him? I wonder who's decision it was? JJs?5 -
Except they converted it to run on artificial stupidity as it was cheaper.2

Just put yourself in the position of owning the club and it's your money going out every month on someone who never plays,how would you be feeling.I expect back in the day many of you used to play Saturday and Sunday regularly and only training once or twice a week and never injured. Best if he retired, I'm sure no other club would take him on.0

Even though we knew he was fragile, his injuries have reached a whole new level since returning.AdTheAddicK said:Why the hell did we resign him? I wonder who's decision it was? JJs?
In 20-21 he appeared in 41 games. We knew he couldn't really start many but he was still available.
In the first half of 21-22 he appeared in 21 games for Birmingham. Not sure how many he started but he was clearly fit to play some part.
Since his return........28 appearances in 18 months.4 -
So pedictable. In CAFC land where the predictable is only a predictable moment away!

Will we see him before.....
1) the transfer window slams shut (1/9)
Or
2) the Ryder Cup starts (30/9)
Or
3) the clocks go back (29/10)0 -

It was extremely hard to watch. He had some good performances when coming on as sub last season, but there were less good ones than there were average and bad (imo).Ferryman said:

Time to retireWith another run of injuries, I expect his impact to weaken. A lot of people are very supportive of him and fair play. I just view it more practically and don’t see a role for him anymore2 -
Pretty much everytime he came on as a sub last season the team played better than they were playing before he came on (sometimes that was a very low bar to improve on). He can still have a positive impact if he can get fit which is obviously the problemcabbles said:

4) 3 months before his contract runs out when he will managed 8 consecutive matches (playing the full 90 mins) and score 12 goalsgolfaddick said:Will we see him before.....

That’s how I see it as well. A shame as when fit he is a good player. We just can’t persist with him any longer.cabbles said:
