Pricetag just gone up to 20 million.Scoham said:Here’s a video I found which the variety of goals he’s scored. Headers, both feet, tap ins, running in behind.
Some of them he shows so much composure, especially for a striker of his age. He’s not afraid to take a few touches in the box to set himself when others would panic and waste the chance.
Could play with a partner (some good link up play in there too) or as a lone striker.
Perhaps the name Leaburn screams “not a goal scorer” 😉

I think this is spot on, no way he is ready for the premier league yet. He's had a good season, particularly given his age but some of the praise on him is OTT in my opinion.hoof_it_up_to_benty said:Given his age it's really hard to know his level.3 -
I don't think anyone believes he's ready for the Premier League just yet. Not many 19-year-old strikers playing there full stop.cafcsinger said:

He's the sort of player Brentford would be very willing to take a punt on

I think @MarcusH26’s comparison to Evan Ferguson (18) is a great one. Been watching out for him as an Irish fan and there are definite similarities in terms of size, style and background (Evan’s dad was a defender though, now involved in the FAI development team). Expecting big things of both these lads.Chunes said:

Ideally, the mess that is Charlton ownership is sorted out in the next few weeks, we see major investment in the summer, Miles stays and we build round him and he extends his contract. If we go up, we manage to keep him for a further year, if not then I would hope that we will learn from Posh and hold out for decent money for a striker with such potential. As others have said, he is way ahead of where Mason was already.3 -
He is going to be a top player. We will do very lucky to keep him in the summer. A lot of the top clubs are looking at him. Not just as a development player, but someone that can push next year. He is certainly the best player in a while2

What I notice from the video is that he takes his time and seems to place the shot rather than slash at it. Whether he Ihas the ability to make time and could do that a higher level is the big question for me.0

He’s a very promising young English striker. Every premier league club will be keeping tabs on him. If the far inferior Burstow could get a move to Chelsea then Miles moving to one of the really big boys is far from impossible. His family may advise against it, of course, but there will be interest I’m sure.Fortune 82nd Minute said:He's the sort of player Brentford would be very willing to take a punt on1 -
On Charlton TV they said Carlo has said he will spend another season with us.......4

What Miles has is parents that will support and help him make the right decisions for him. It could be a disaster at this stage moving to a club where he doesn't settle. Next season will be a big one for him and it is surely better to be in an evironment he is comfortable in and at a level he should thrive.1

Top one is a really lovely article. Such a lovely family to have so connected to the club. Really hope we get to see him develop further for us next season. 👍Scoham said:5 -
Ah so he truly is one of our own, seeing he started with us before moving to Arsenal, and then Chelsea.0

"Miles, why the move to Sunderland?Scoham said:
I need to get as far away from home as possible, I'd fed up with all the chores I have to do at home while mum and dad put their feet up. I had splinters in my hands for weeks after cutting down that ****ing tree."12 -
There, you said it. That's the job qualification for a striker.golfaddick said:I admit he has a knack of being in the right place at the right time .........
There, said it.
The law of averages generally takes care of the rest.

Just saw his interview with Scott Minto. What a lovely lad.3

The rate he’s growing, learning and taking his game forward every week, not going to put an England cap past him.7

Got the natural awareness and tools to be the next Harry Kane. But needs to be in the right hands when he moves up.Callumcafc said:The rate he’s growing, learning and taking his game forward every week, not going to put an England cap past him.4 -
Let’s just hope the scouts looking at him use Golfie’s definition of a striker 😉.12

Brighton are adept at signing top young players and selling them on .. Tony Bloom is LOADED .. IF The seabirds take a liking to Miles and make an 'enquiry', tell them the bidding starts at £50 Million5

I so hope we can get another season out of him. If by some miracle we do, our ground will be half full with scouts every game.14

We know he won’t be here long, best to just enjoy the ride while we can.
Son of a Charlton cult hero scoring goals giving us all a chance to chant “Leaburn” again 30 years later….It’s a brilliant story.27 -

Trouble is, if we get a big fee for him when he does leave, TS will trouser nearly all of it and little if any will be used to strengthen the squad.0
-
Sadly If he keeps banging goals in like he has been can see clubs definitely coming in for him
Be a big loss & hard to replace him0 -
And more to come. Hopefully.cafctom said:We know he won’t be here long, best to just enjoy the ride while we can.

Maybe in about 20 years time there might even be another Leaburn we can pay homage to . ... Carl's grandson!2 -
Hold out for 20 million Charlton.1

No chance will he be with us next season, frankly he shouldn’t be either. He’s far too good for L1 already and with the right coaching he could have a brilliant career at a high level.
Have zero faith that we’ll manage anything other that getting our pants pulled down in the transfer market, so don’t bother getting your hopes up for a big fee.4 -
That’s the problem. One of if not the best English teenager in football today.DubaiCAFC said:He is going to be a top player. We will do very lucky to keep him in the summer.

Once again Sandgaard got it wrong about him in July 2022. Pound to a penny he is on his way directly the season is over. 5 million with add ons. Not had a young striker like him since Watson that went to play for Sheffield Wed and Southampton. Both local lads.0
