Probably not.Gribbo said:Okay so he's done it for a bit of attention then.
As @Briston_Addick many young people, and some old ones too, flag up their activities on social media all the time.
If I could be bothered I'd check out his instagram to see what he had for dinner last night (Chinese = signing for far east club, Indian = joining the IPL), and the last film he saw (Oppenheimer = he's about to drop a bombshell; Barbie = I don't know).0 -
just to be clear, I wasn't suggesting in any way that he's on his way to Brentford or suggesting he was at the game for any reason other than to (probably) watch a mate playElthamaddick said:hate to say it but Brentford would be a cracking move for him, can see him being with us till at least January though in order to prove his fitness
I just said they would be a cracking move for him.....and they would if/when they sell Tony2 -
No disrespect to leaburn but I think Brentford would be signing him as a promising youngster regardless of if they sell Tony or not as they would be looking in bringing a much more proven player imo.2

Jason Pearce posted a pic of himself at Arsenal = Pearce next Gunners boss.

Thing is, I'm totally aware of how Instagram and young people work, but there's definitely a difference between Miles Leaburn sharing a pointless photo of the pitch at Brentford and a youngster sharing a photo of their dinner (which is more what a middle aged person would do anyway). Since he's been laid up, most of his Instagram post are shares of other young players posts.Henry Irving said:

Again, not suggesting there's anything in it, just giving a reason (justifying) why I've shared it on here.

Out of contract next summer as things stands. IF he won't sign an extension then we could possibly cash in this summer. No doubt clubs of the ilk of Brighton and Brentford would be keeping very close tabs on him, I know for a fact Brighton are. Someone may take a punt but maybe we could get a loan back for a season.0

Miles wasn't actually at the game. He's so tall that he's able to see over the roof from outside.4

He'd not have been on big enough money to retire I'd have thought.mendonca said:

It’s a non story, he did the same at Arsenal a few weeks ago and he’s clearly in normal seats which he wouldn’t be if it was Brentford trying to impress him. Young man goes to football match isn’t really news!11

It was arguably the worst game of football in the top flight and possibly even the worst game in the prem years0

Is he out for the rest of the season ?0

No, I think he was just out for the eveningct_addick said:Is he out for the rest of the season ?

Probably means a news story on "no1footballrumours.com" with a headline "20 year old League One sensation eyeing move to Brentford"0

ain't news but it is the perfect trigger for hysteria indignation and pant wetting from swathes of slack jawed forum worriersfenaddick said:It’s a non story, he did the same at Arsenal a few weeks ago and he’s clearly in normal seats which he wouldn’t be if it was Brentford trying to impress him.

Prior to his injury his status was very much work in progress. It still is but with several steps backwards.
I can’t see anyone coming in for him until such time as he has proved his long term general fitness and proven stability with his injury and even then, it would be something of a gamble.
So unlucky for the fella, as he was undoubtedly making steady and meaningful progress.1 -
Clubs take gambles, us with Aneke for example. For a PL club it’s barely a gamble at all financially.SoundAsa£ said:Prior to his injury his status was very much work in progress. It still is but with several steps backwards.

Only shared it on the Clubs main supporter's forum to stimulate a bit of a discussion.0 -

Bang on @Billy_Mix - you only have to read the posts since this was posted to see that..err... No one whatsoever has reacted in that way. But you crack on. 🤣1 -

1) Player attends football match.
2) Player posts photo of said match on social media, like almost all people under 40 (and lots over 40) do these days
3) Someone on the message board for that player's club (where it is known he might be a target for other clubs) states, innocently, that the team the player is watching would be the type of club he would do well at but doesn't, in any way, say that he will be signing there or is even in talks to go there.
4) Someone says that just because he's watching a match there doesn't mean he's signing there, which probably isn't what the original poster meant, but it is a factually correct and inoffensive response.
5) Someone comes on to complain about nonexistent hysteria and pant wetting
6) We have a perfect study in how internet controversies can grow out of thin air and proof that you very much can get smoke without any fire.
All we need is some quotes in the Daily Mail from the PM and a headline on the front page of the Sun and we can use it as a study in how to create and fight a culture war.6 -

Has just posted an Instagram story of him in boots, looks like he may be doing some training. Could he be back?

St Georges by the look of it0

Bit of a late call up. Maybe kanes back injury is more serious than first thought.2

Yep, spending 6 weeks continuing his re-hab at St Georges Park as there will be other people there rather than on his own at Sparrows Lane which is also being developed.Rothko said:St Georges by the look of it
On the Brentford trip my source "close to Miles" told me that one of the development coaches took him to the Brentford game as part of his learning, to watch how certain players moved and performed. He is still young and relatively inexperienced so it was an opportunity for him to learn while out injured.8 -
