    And is he running down his contract?

    It's very brave if he does.  He was out for something like 18 months wasn't he going into last summer.  If he runs his contract down and got similarly injured towards the end of this season he would sit unemployed for 18 months.  I know there are riches for running your contract down but it doesn't seem worth the risk for him IMO.  Nest to sign with us for another year at least so protect both parties going into the season.  Slightly disappointed it has not happened yet.

    I'll be surprised if this happens.
    I hope for his sake he can get his career back on track as he has the makings of having a decent career IF he can avoid injuries.
    ATM he probably realises his value has gone down the pan badly over the past two seasons, both for his salary expectations and our transfer sale.

    A fit Leaburn will be a massive boost, him Godden, Olaofe and obviously Ahadme is as good a strike force as we can get


    Obviously

    Might happen after the window shuts, if he’s still here.

    NJ should tell Miles to sign a new contract by third week of August or he wont be a starter (at best).

    We'll have a week to sell him and get a replacement

    Hmmmm, on the basis we got a taker, how much do you think we would get for him?

    I'm not sure how much Preston have got left in their kitty.

    Strange answer, can you elaborate?

    Needs this season to be a full season both for us and for his own career.

    Been critical of Miles in the past but if he fancies it and can stay fit I think the championship suits him. Agreed he shouldn't be a starter unless he signs though.

    Looking forward to seeing how his season plays out, he's certainly good enough.

    That would be madness. At that point we might be playing with just Godden, Oloafe & Ahadme. 

    As someone above has just said.....its make or break for him this season.

    The last two years have seen Miles' goals change significantly, I'd say. From 'EPL player' to 'playing career at all'. I doubt he'd get a fresh gig above League One right now. Loyalty would serve both parties well

    It’s a really tough situation for both parties imo unfortunately the last couple of seasons has cast a massive doubt over his ability to remain fit and tbh it would be a big call by the club to offer a decent new contract if he turns out to be injured most of it

    Lads only 21, injuries can possibly be put down to growing still. Decent first half of the season and he’ll have suitors again

    Looks like Miles was training today.

    as much as i really dont want that to be the case, i do believe at some point between now and December, that has to be the case. I do think Miles will resign, what has kind of worked in our favour in a strange way is his injuries, otherwise in all honesty i think he'd be with a Prem team already.

    He looks a bit leaner than when we last saw him in the first team. Hopefully that will mean he’s a bit sharper off the mark. Thought he looked a touch slow getting moving when he had his mid season stint in the first team.

    He’s an undoubted talent who would love to do well with Charlton as much as we’d love him to. I really hope he can have an injury free season, enjoy his football and we can all be talking this time next year about how well he’s done.

    Always seemed a no brainer for him to sign, even before his recent injury issues - What with him needing a solid base to work on his fitness it makes even more sense.

    Can we change the thread title, in case it jinxes pre season  :#

    Great news, I can see him doing well this season.
