When kids start young it is so easy to lose perspective. But put it this way, despite it feeling like he has been around a long time, he is still two years younger than Jonathon Obika.
Ormiston has it right, he needs to go somewhere and be the main man. Like Redfearn become at Barnsley. He is better than him, but his natural way of playing is by putting his stamp on a game.
I'm a huge Parky fan, but that was his biggest mess up. He should have built his midfield around Jonjo because he would have been our best centre mid, but he was scared to do that with a 16/17 year old and tried fitting him into other positions, support striker / out wide, that just isn't his natural game.
I think personally he should move on. Not for money, champions league etc but to play every week and become the main man.
When I first saw him play I saw Gerrard in his style. I think Liverpool would be mugs to let him go. He is still very young and I think they bought him as a player for the future.
The last set of CAFC accounts show additional sums which might fall due from other clubs of more than £3M in relation to appearances and other clauses. There is no detail as to who this relates to (Shelvey, Jenkinson +?) and precisely how much for what. Ideally when accounts are published the amounts received this season will be clear and we can then see how much we have made this year... Hopefully helps build the case to get to Category 1 status for the academy so as to ensure we develop top players even if they are sold on.
A real shame for JonJo if true and the move to Liverpool doesn't work out. Sounds plausible given their purchases/supposed targets so far this summer, but think Norwich would give JonJo the chance of far more regular football, which he deserves & needs.
A healthy injection of sell-on cash would certainly be deserved & needed by us as well. He went far too cheaply in the first place, for the talent that he is.
Really can't understand the love-in regarding jonjo to be honest. Yes, I know he started with us and we wish him well an all that..................
But some of the comments on here are way over the top. Arsenal, Spurs etc? Do me a favour. He'd probably be further away from their starting 11 than he is at the bin dippers.
He's a decent prem player in the making. Nothing wrong with that....................................
So off of £7,000,000.00 do we get 15% off of whatever is over £3,500,000.00 in this case £525,000.00 or off of the full £7,000,000.00 being £1,050,000.00?

I think you will find the "love-in" on here with him is because when he played he gave his all.... When it was time to sign pro he didn't piss off to a prem club like others have done, he signed ensuring Charlton would one day recoup more than the money they invested in him. When he was sold it was when Charlton was on their arse and needed the money not because he asked to leave.
I think you might find that is something to do with it.

Yes, Jonjo certainly did right by us by signing a new contract after our relegation. If he hasn't, we'd have got considerably less from a tribunal than we did from Liverpool. Of course, the experience of first team action was very valuable to him but most youngsters would have signed for one of the many bigger clubs who would have taken him. The club was on an absolute knife edge at that point

You are welcome..... If (yet again) you'd have taken the time to read other this and other threads about him you wouldn't have needed me to explain for you. I base my opinion on what the other supporters have said. I try not to take much notice of the ones that just snipe all the time but go on son you have your fill

So if Everpool sell at 7m approx £525k
