Jeremy Monga

[Grebfromgrebland]

Seagrave is proving to be a bit pointless without the right staff behind the scenes.

Fair play, why on earth would he stay.
 

No plan. No pathway at all to the first team in any way whatsoever. 

No recruitment plan apart from buying from whatever the same agents suggest. No strategy. Going nowhere at all.
 

Not to mention the most spoilt owner who has no idea and is running nearly all aspects of his father’s company into the ground. Nepotism at its finest. 
 

complete disgrace, there is literally not one aspect of this club that is positive. If there was a positive, he is off to Man City and good on him. Deserves better.

Looks like the Sky 6 really have got everything stitched up with everyone 

else just making up the numbers, what’s the point?

[splinterdream]

I should imagine the compensation will be derisory, somehow seems unfair but you can't blame the lad, he'll want to play for the best team and be the best paid 

[Stadt]

Again, I’m almost sorry to labour the point but Rudkin has more influence at Leicester than an academy director/head of development does in world football. 
 

That he doesn’t actually use his influence for the academy’s benefit is just absolutely typical.

 

It should be written into managerial contracts that you have to give x% of minutes to academy products.

Sorry, but in this instance, we only have ourselves to blame. Yes, the system isn't fit for purpose but if we can't bring players through with everything out our disposal then we deserve what we get.

[Clever Fox]

We should play him on Sunday. It might make him think twice about his choice If it's true what we hear.

[Parker Pen]

I bet Jeremys parents and agent have always dreamed about him signing for Man City, and then the  subsequent loan after loan before his Carabao cup appearance in 5 years time!

Better than not getting a loan and then playing non-league football in 5 years if he stayed here

This is it, we are an absolute mess right now.

This reminds me of when wenger  wanted Hamza at Arsenal , at a similar age ( i know his dad ) . They offered stupid Money, a stupid signing on fee relocation and a house  for the whole family . Barcelona also wanted him believe it or not .

Hamza and his dad looked at the bigger picture and saw were his development was better off and for a while it was .

Iv never seen Monga play  but this just stinks of greed probably from his parents who are advising him if its true...If hes as good as people say he will get the big move in a few seasons like Jude B Did but prove hes got first surly . Man city could Ruin Him

And they’ve seen what’s actually happened to Will and that a bad injury for a teenager can potentially ruin a promising career.  Take the money when it’s offered because you never know what’s around the corner 

 

Man City’s teenagers get far more access to first team football via the club and loans than ours seem to. if he’s really as good as he appears to be then they won’t fear a loan at 16/17 or even pushing him into their squad.  And he’ll be playing with the cream of youth football talent.

One thing this isn't is 'fair play'. 

 

If the vultures are allowed to pick the best talents from smaller clubs (again) for virtually nothing, then what is the point? 

 

I don't care what he wants, he is our player and the rules need changing to stop this kind of daylight robbery. 

 

To say he has no pathway is ridiculous.  You could almost list a full eleven of players that have come through the academy in recent years.

This this and this. Whilst I'm very angry as my number one passion for Leicester is to see us have the best academy and player progression in the country, I can see why players would leave our academy for bigger clubs. We don't give them the one thing those clubs might not which is first team football as a number one priority. We need to learn from this last couple of years.

[HesNotGudjonsonn2]

Another issue for our young players could be how often over the years we have been inclined to go and buy an ageing player. If I was an up and coming youngster and saw the team were in need of a winger, then I would hope they would give me a chance but would soon feel disheartened when they go and buy someone like Decordova Reid. 

[Pliskin]

The move will do him no good, they will bash every bit of individuality out of him and turn him into a pass merchant.

If he had to leave us, if wish he'd agree to go to Barca or Dortmund as he'd a) retain that freedom and b) we'd keep him until 18 😂

[James_lcfc]

I've said it on here before, but staying with us and playing Championship football (provided he's given the opportunity!) would be amazing for his career. If he smashes it at 16 his stock will be unbelievably high.

 

But if he's being offered 4/5 year deals on ~£40k/week he'd be stupid not to take it. Setup for life money regardless of how well things go on the pitch. 

 

Staying with us would be a gamble unless the money we're paying is at least close to what the big boys are offering.

We're even bad at arranging loans. It's not an ideal proxy, but over the last 5 years we're probably 6-8th for academy profits which says we're doing something right, (Chilwell, Barnes,  KDH alone c £120m).

 

Then, there's barely any interest from top end League 1 and Championship clubs for our players? I just don't buy it. Our young players have to ladder loans up the league like we're West Brom or Coventry not a club with one of the best facilities in the world.

 

Even the 3 aforementioned players had break through loans at 21 or so, they did have a few pottering around picking up a few appearances before their standout options but why does it take us so long? 

 

I can't prove it but it feels like if Alves and Braybrooke came through at Villa they'd have been at midtable Championship clubs at 18 or 19.

 

Jacob Ramsey had a brief spell at Doncaster then started 6 PL games the following season. They also hawked some of their fringe youngsters for decent profits and PSR swindles too, something we never. Archer (after activating a buy-back clause) and Philogene went fro about £40m massively alleviating PSR concerns.

 

Chukwuemeka went for £15m or so at 18 and he'd made 3 starts. Even just a couple of starts can massively inflate a fee. If Monga or Alves had put in Ayew, or Mavididi or BDCR's performances you;d have some people saying they'd never make it. Nwaneri has proved that age isn't a direct barometer of ability.

 

Just play them. Even if it's for 20 minutes, we don't have a development ethos when we have the most influential academy director in world football - more proof he is useless.

We must be near the bottom of minutes given to academy players this season, and I'd wager most of them came from playing Stolarczyk out of necessity.

What's the betting that Monga makes and appearance for Man City before Evans makes an appearance for us....
