Chuks Aneke (1 Viewer)

We’re not the only ones apparently...

Would be a massive risk. Half hope we miss out on that one

1 goal in 20 in his Championship season...

Is he the one out the Goonies?

Would be a weird one, the guy can barely play 60 minutes, let alone 90. Look at how many games he either came on or off at half time in last season.

Would he play more of a number 10 role rather than striker?

Doesnt have a great scoring record and is 28 this year

Gotta be be better than Baka or Max though?

Sensational player, on ability alone he's far too good for League One but has horrendous injury/fitness problems meaning he misses huge amounts of game time.

I can't see it for that reason but, with 5 subs probably being permitted again next season, it might be possible to manage his minutes maybe.

Didn't take much notice at the time but I'm sure I've heard this repeatedly from Charlton fans over the course of the season.

It's a shame as by all accounts he should be playing at a higher level.

Well with Baka and Biamou leaving we need a 3rd and 4th striker.

If we can get better than Godden and walker then obviously we can push them down the pecking order, but otherwise this could be a good free signing for 3rd/4th choice

15 goals from 11 starts last season is crazy

Plays more as a second striker/attacking midfielder now. Injuries a slight concern but if not too expensive would be a good backup/alternative to O'Hare. Something we lacked this year.

I saw him play a few years ago...looked like a world beater. Given that he’s had a decent season might be more than just cover and could be over his injuries? He’s certainly not just about goals.

Replacement for O’hare hopefully not

15 goals from just over 1500mins which is approaching a goal every 90mins.
39 of 85 shots have been On Target - an impressive 46%. This is way above the likes of Jerry Yates & Joe Piggott & even edges out JCH in Shot Accuracy.

What is this thought process? You think the club are going to replace a player who started nearly every game for a player who rarely starts a level lower?

Ability wise 100% starter but the injuries/fitness are still a concern. He's only played 90mins once all season & managed just over 1500mins. That's less than Kelly & only marginally more than Godden.
If it could be managed correctly, as it was with Charlton last season, he'd be a hell of an asset. Big if though.

He appeared in 38 games last season. The amount of minutes he actually played is as you said though 1500, which is extremely low when you spread them out.

Looking back, his ability through goal stats don't look bad, but they are chalked by inconsistencies, probably attributed to injuries.

He obviously has a good level of talent, but at 27, he hasn't really ripped any season apart other than for MK Dons in League 2, which was 3 seasons ago. Scoring 17 goals.

Interesting.

The Facebook forum has had their say - how can get we rid of Biamou and sign this guy

I would like 1 x upcoming prospect (lower league) plus either a permanent Viktor type, or another quality PL loan (I suppose it depends on who is available and budget constraints). Think all out of contract players will be fought over due to lack of £££s about for transfer fees.

I’m encouraged that others are after him but that’s still not great in terms of playing time.
Sounds like Stewart Robson mk 2.

If he were on a free yes. But if it involves a fee (esp with other suitors and so may become a bidding war) I'm a bit less convinced. A signing that could go either way. More like a Shipley replacement given he will either have to be subbed or be used as one more often than not.

Could be a rotation with JJ for a second AM if we play like that (not sure we will though) with the option of him moving up front if needed?

His contract is up at Charlton in July so he'll be available on a free.

Is 15 in 38 not a good return? I doubt we’ll sign him anyhow.

Unfortunately some bigger budget clubs than us are in for him. Will be the story of the summer I feel.

Lot said about Matty James and his injury record when he joined but never missed a minute through injury. Aneke undoubtedly has ability if it complements our team he’s fine by me.

Cash in on Ohare get £4 mil and get this guy on a free is good business

No, it really isn’t.

I cant see this happening, doesnt fit our usual recruitment model.

I’d rate O’Hare at around 7-8 million,The guy has so much potential and if he can add 10/12 goals to his game that goes up to around 15 million imo.

No one would pay anywhere near that for him, clubs exist outside of Coventry.

Would be a good signing. Thinking this would be more to give ohare a break and us a second option in that role. For a free transfer i would say a good bit of business , if we can get him obviously

He got 8 assists, all after January I think. Double that for a whole season and add in 12 goals and he’d have more assists than Buendia and only three less goals

I’m not saying he could do it, but if he did he’s be worth £7m easy.
