Leaburn should sign the contract extension as soon as possible if I was him, while he can get a pay rise Not many clubs will be comming in for him in January as they have seen he is not the finished product by a mile, no where near ready for higher level first team starts.
Yeah, better sign that contract extension or he will be stacking shelves in Lidl this summer.

I wouldn’t rule out interest from clubs who’d loan him out to continue his development.
He’s got a good goalscoring record, the potential is there, he mainly needs to work on his strength, touch and hold up play which should come from experience and good coaching.
If clubs wait until he’s developed that all round game they’ll either have missed out or can afford an even bigger fee than the one we’ll eventually sell him for.

Man City and Tedic is an example of why teams wont wait to see for Leaburn to become the finished product.

Very similar to the game at Stevenage when they played a back 5 against us. It does seem like our attacking focus to try and find Campbell & CBT and look for crosses to Leaburn from the byline.
Personally, would drop Leaburn and go back May up top on his own and bring in Camera to make the midfield harder to play against.

Nothing wrong with stacking shelves.
Do you think the point of my comment was denigrating stacking shelves?
I don’t think Leaburn is half as good as a lot of Charlton fans think he is. Will end up a reasonable lower league player, but is not destined for great things. IMO.

What do you mean by lower league, Championship or League 1?
I think he’ll stay this season but be gone in the summer. If he remains fit he’ll score 20+ goals and attract bids in excess of £5 million. That’s enough money to buy a promotion out of league one. Getting it reinvested in the team though is quite a different matter.
Miles is 20 next month so is still learning but at the moment other than when coming on as Sub he still looks raw. He needs to get stronger and it was May who was in the right position for the cafc goal last night. In excess of £5 million looks a good deal for Cafc but that will only happen if Miles form can be more consistent and he improves so there is more than one team interested and an auction takes place behind the scenes.
The fear is a low bid with adds ons for goals and apps is accepted and we get around 1.5 million up front.
I personally feel that Kanu has more potential as a goal scorer with his better movement than Leaburn and with being a year younger at 19 next month I hope both Daniel and Miles have good careers with at least a season or two at Cafc BUT that doesn't happen often with our young strikers over the years who have any talent.

Agree with Camará and his energy playing more games. Possibly away from home but at the valley we have improved because we had the Job share of Leaburn and Aneke with May having more space and still getting into the box to score.
Chuks is a big loss unless Tedic can play well as a central striker and May can still drift into the box.
On Saturday we will probably come up against the best CB in the league in Santos. I can’t see any benefit in starting Leaburn against Bolton. Unfortunately, the role we will need for him is probably too much for him at his current age.
Starting May up top on his own isn’t very appealing but feel like it’s better to make us defensively sounder against better opposition.
Such a good compilation. All sorts of different goals, headers, diving headers, thunderbolts, penalties, tap ins, one on ones... Everything. Still has a long way to go but those that think he is over rated are wrong imo.

I certainly don't think Leaburn is overated. As a sub, he comes on fired up, a real handful, gets a goal, assist, or key involvement.
That's the player we believe and hope he is.
Young players are by the nature of things inconsistant with a tendancy to lose concentration. Mistakes are part of their game. I know that. But that doesn't explain or excuse Leaburn's non-performance the other night at Lincoln.
I would hope his manager has had a quiet word. And perhaps his Dad too.

Pretty evident Apples thinks we need a lump up front - Miles isn’t that.

He’s already, at the very least, “a reasonable lower league player” at the age of 19. He has a 1/3 goal ratio in the league (goals to minutes must be pretty good too).
He’s going to have a great career above the lower leagues, he’s ceiling is potentially Premier League.
"Charlton’s new owners Global Football Partners rejected a bid in excess
of £3million from a Bundesliga club in the summer and are under no
pressure to sell Leaburn, who signed a three-year professional deal in
July 2022." First time seen that fee quoted. Wonder which club it was

Static. Ball watching. No movement across the front line, no dragging defenders out of position.
Come on, Miles. Get involved.
