    lol .. could it be .. we have potentially lost a few million in transfer fees by giving him away ? .. yes it MUST be that. Thick as a brick or what !! (:->)

    Can't keep everyone. One got away and sorted his shit out - fair play to him.

    lol

    he was 12 years old when we "released" him. At that age it's completely pot luck whether they make it or not.
  • ibe will be a top player and would of been considerably better than any of the others that age the coaches should of noticed him also since we are a bigger club than wycombe he would of stayed longer and would of been sold for a good fee

    Turning into a real hot prospect. Think he is England potential.

  • Has agreed a 5 year deal at Liverpool apparently. Fair play to the lad, from getting released by us to megabucks at Anfield...

    i wonder if it was turning up late or another discipline issue with Jordon Ibe ?
    Or did he want to play Basketball or be a runner instead ?

    Why would you released a lad at 12; yet at 15 is deemed good enough to make his debut for Wycombe ?

    I like to think it wasn't just a bad coaching Decision.

    Maybe being released by Charlton was the kick up the arse that he needed to improve if he wanted to become a Footballer

    I know lads get released all the time at different ages, and then have to work hard to get back, but they would rarely be playing 1st team football at 15, and a move to a top 5 club at 16 if they weren't good enough to be kept in CAFC academy at 12.
    When i coached and Managed in youth football, we came up against ex academy boys and at least a couple of the dads said they would be sent home if they arrived 5 minutes late ! As the mum and dads had jobs and the kids had other Siblings this sounded quite draconian. (Palace and Fulham)
    The elite few were given more chances.

    Difference between 12 & 15 in development terms is massive both physically and emotionally, who knows what was going on in his life at 12 that then got resolved. I'm not keen on clubs having kids tied to them at such a youmng age anyway, but sadly thats the way of the football world.

    Kap, the amazing thing is that kids us young as 6 are attached to clubs.
    and from about 8 are told not to play on a Sunday for a local club.(some will thou)
    They allow them to play for their school teams.
    As 95% of this age group won't make it they miss out playing with their mates
    from their own area.

    Seems the clubs want to govern every aspect of the child's life.

    Do kids still get together up the park to have a kick around anymore or are the clubs watching.

    Surely it should be about enjoying it at that age?
