Enjoy Jonjo while we have him

edited July 2008 in General Charlton
I believe in Jonjo we have the real deal,but I fear as fans we have one season to enjoy him a bit like Bowyer.Make no mistake if Jonjo has the impact I believe he will,he will be on the way next summer.This is not a dig in the slightest at Jonjo because i do believe he is enjoying himself at the club.Look at what happened to Aaron Ramsey at Cardiff and Walcock at Saints.If the big boys see him performing at a high level in the championship you can bet your bottom dollar a bid in the region of 5 million will follow and that my friends is the kind of figure we as a club will not be able to turn down.

    Are u sure steve LOL

    You could be right about Shelvey - depends on his improvement next season.His family, especially his dad, seem to be very sensible so they might advise to him to see out this season.

    I'm sure, come February, he'll be offered something along the lines of a 4.5yr contract with various opportunities to re-negotiate as we go. I think we'll keep hold of him untill summer 2010 (unless we're in serious financial shit next summer)

    I really hope we can hold on to him long enought to make a significant contribution.

    The biggest problem we have as a club is holding on to good players.

    I'm just being realistic from a financial point of view. Of course I don't want to lose the lad, but money talks... :o(

    In the end, it wouldn't matter which division we're in - if a player shines and a 'big' club comes in for them, then the chances are that they will leave sooner or later.

    Either the player will want to go (eg Parker when we were riding high in the Premiership), the financial situation will dictate that we can't afford to keep them, or it will be too good an offer for both the player and the club.

    It's the way of the world - as even Man Utd are finding out! - and all we can do at the moment is hope that he starts to fulfil his promise this year and helps us into the top two.

    Lets not get ahead of ourselves.

    Around 70% of those that shine at 16 never go on to meet their potential. JJ has a very long road ahead of him, and anything can happen along the way.

    From what I have heard, and uncle on here has backed it up, Jonjo and his family love it at Charlton and are settled.

    Don't expect him to leg-it as soon as he gets the chance

    Too much Hype being put on a schoolboys shoulders if you ask me, how many first team games has he played? I for one hope he does fulfill his potential, but my guess is he will have his work cut out in our midfield this season.

    He excites me to be honest, in a purely hetro football kind of way you understand, very raw, very hungry and Ian Wright'esk.

    As I said yesterday - some Gills fans hated him but the facts don't lie - he was their top scorer and only played half a season

    He looks bang up for it this season from what I saw against Welling - and by christ has he been working out!

    What i said at the beginning is if we get a offer of £5 mill he will be gone I didn't say he would jump ship.

    Spot on. If we are really pining our hopes of promotion on an untested 16 year old then we really are screwed.

    He got bags of potential but at the moment that is all it is. Lets see how he gets on after a few games of carrying captain deadwood in the middle of the park.

    Don't agree that he a) was our best player last seaon or b) is good enough for us this season.

    So lets agree to disagree without resorting to childish name calling eh?

    I don't remember saying that he was our "best" player last year or that he was necesarily "good enough" for us this season, particularly if we are looking to improve on last time out. However, he WAS player of the year and clearly has a lot to offer our youngsters in terms of passing on his experience and professionalism, etc.

    He's never been my favourite, far from it, but I really appreciated and respected the way he conducted himself last season. A model pro, and worth far more than your "Captain Deadwood" tag. Shame on you.

    As for the "childish name calling", the hypocritical nature of that comment following your own particular labelling of Mr Holland really doesn't warrant a serious response - so, my old man's a mushroom!!!


    PS. Change the name eh? Lisbie's long gone so you'll just have to find someone else to pillory now!

    Have to agree about Holland not being all that, but think the thread originator needs to lighten up a bit, I thought I was a miserable sod till I read this..

    You are of course correct and it was childish of me to refer to Mr Holland as "Captain Deadwood" I therefore retract the Captain Deadwood comment in it's entirety in favour of "Lets see how he gets on after a few games of carrying the extremely ineffective Matt Holland in the middle of the Park"

    Better?

    Quite like Barn Door Lisbie so will stick with it till I think of something better, assuming that's alright with you of course?

    Ahem, sorry to interrupt. I thought that our esteemed leader was more popularly known as "Captain Cleanshorts", which seems quite appropriate.
