Official Charlton twitter account putting Leaburn in the shop window!
Yep, I can't help thinking the owners have similar ambitions to Duchatelet without a network. Bring academy players through asap (before they are ready), play too many academy players for CAFC to be successful and then sell them asap to reduce the annual deficit.
I'm probably a lone voice but I don't think he's that good. Decent League 1 striker but anything higher.....nah. Wouldn't get into double figures in the Championship. Certainly not just yet. Who knows in a few years time but anyone buying him now is taking a big punt.

He’s got a fantasticly high ceiling and he’d be anything but a ‘big punt’. He’d be low risk.
He’s improving all the time again after a while to find his feet. I think playing up front with a friend is really helping him.
I’d love him to sign a new contract and keep improving but hopefully his time out has at least allowed us to see him continue to develop this season.
Get what you're saying, but if Prem/Champ and top European scouts don't know about him they're doing a terrible job.
Would think most of the Prem and Bundesliga probably have him as someone to keep an eye on, think staying fit for the rest of the season and hitting double figures would be the main factors.

I think he’d quite easily get 10 in the champ tbh. Not 20 but I don’t think he’d have any issue clocking up 10.
He doesn’t need many chances, I can barely recall him missing any sitters
he can improve a lot and will have a good career fitness permitting
The video is a clumsy attempt to create a portfolio that might add extra monetary value to Miles Leaburn, and might prove useful if we're negotiating with another club sometimes in the future.
It's just to get people to engage with our social media channels. Scouts will not be using Twitter/Instagram/Facebook to look for L1 players when they can watch whole matches on Wyscout or similar

This.
Not everything is a conspiracy. The doom mongering on here and other social media outllets is really tiresome. Can we not just enjoy his goals and assists for five minutes?
Every club puts out social media clips of recent goals etc.
Will he be sold this January? I have no idea but that will be totally unrelated to these clips.

The Konsa-Pope effect.
Talented young player who isn’t at the level of Gomez or Shelvey at 16/17 is nothing special.
He’s got so many strengths alongside attributes that usually improve with experience that would shine more in a better team - at the right club along with luck with injuries he’d be an excellent signing for a Championship club. Not to immediately score 20+ but as someone who could really grow at a well run, ambitious club.
I want that club to be us but that’s looking unlikely at the moment. A young player having a good season in the Championship is easily worth double figures, and that’s just the defenders, as Konsa showed.
Imagine what he could do in a team who have more of the ball, show more quality on it and have 2/3 properly creative players.

Was brilliant today. Worked his nuts off, showed his power, pace, and aggression, and his finesse. Two good goals, for different reasons.
The difference between what he offered and what Ahadme did from the bench was stark.
We absolutely cannot afford to sell him in January.
Bit harsh on Ahadme. I thought he worked really hard when he came on and made a couple of important defensive headers. Absolutely agree that Leaburn on this form is different gravy.
Those writing him off as he was building his fitness and sharpness back up look a bit silly now. Can’t expect a player to come back after a year off and hit the ground running, great to see him back to his best now. 4 goals 2 assists in 3 games
He was clearly knackered but when he came on the pitch at the end his body language was saying to me 'this is the last time'. I may have been misreading that completely though.
I really hope not, but I can see him going in January.

Said same to my family last week … do hope I am wrong.

Yes to the defensive headers, and he ran around a lot but mostly chasing shadows and he didn’t hold the ball up at all. No way Ahadme would’ve scored those two goals. I don’t fault Ahadme’s attitude but Leaburn is a much better all round player and today highlighted the big difference between the two of them, imo.

When he is gone he will be missed.

He has a big future in the game
A life changing contract was on offer
Take your pick as to which quote will be used by CM and chums 😉
I genuinely fear this window will be net negative.
