A brief cameo on Wednesday might be valuable for his rehab but anything more than that seems to be cavalier risktaking when the club's league position is so desperate. We're not going to win the league cup and the round by round prize money is piss poor. Miles's talents are best employed arresting Charlton's plummet towards 4th division ignominy. (Same goes for a limited number of his colleagues) He's a game and enthusiastic competitor, he'll stick his hand up and play as soon as Hayes asks him but pragmatism needs to take precedence until 3rd division safety is achieved. Now there's a phrase to stir Addickted hearts
Miles has been included in the Not the Top 20 Podcasts 21 under 21 young stars of the future from the EFL. Full show is on sky sports tomorrow night but here is the Leaburn section
If it hasn’t already been done there would be a good programme for your television set to be made about football in the family. Haarland, Lampard, Forster Caskey and so on, and probably the best of all from a London point of view, all the Allen’s.
Jeff Vetere, recently departed from Tottenham, came to watch Miles on their behalf. He said, he’s one of the most highly regarded players in Europe - based on for what he offers, and for his age etc
Jeff is now out in Spain so hopefully he’s forgotten everything. I know there was also interest from a Belgian club so he’s definitely not a secret any more

Any football scout worth its sort would do his homework and work out who’s not a secret anymore.

Swap deal with Harry Kane is on the cards. Kane is keen on moving to us to improve his chance of winning something.

Yes but could he put up with our fans who say he is useless and past his best because he only scores a goal every other game 😂

Very impressive for a first season and a really nice lad, hope he continues progress and goes on to have an amazing career...... hopefully a bit more of it with us.

If his family believe that the club will give promotion a real push next year, then we may see him, but I think it’s more likely to be a loan back as a way of securing his future and to help guarantee his development.
He’s an outstanding talent and I only wish we were further up the league to enjoy it more.

I’d be amazed if all the big clubs aren’t looking seriously at Miles. Genuine all round strikers are pretty rare and he has all the tools (physicality, mobility, technique, and goalscoring instinct) to be a genuine all round striker. If he keeps developing at this rate he will definitely play top flight football and quite possibly at the upper echelons of that.
I can’t see him being ours past the summer, but another season in League One wouldn’t be the worst thing for his development so hopefully any deal that sees him leaving the club might involve loaning him back for a year. Not saying that’s likely, but we can hope.

Long term who knows, but you would bet that with his support network his next step would be best for his career rather than the bank account.
