Stay at Leicester and be the next Joachim, Heskey, Barnes, Chilwell etc. Play regularly and get a big money move as you hit your peak.....

 

.......OR.........

 

........be the next Trey Nyoni and play twice a season in the league cup.

I think we should get more for Monga than Nyoni with 7 prem appearances under his belt and a year younger than Nyoni when he went to Liverpool.

Am I the only one who finds it weird, to the point of being slightly uncomfortable, that we've got 15-year-olds playing at the top level of professional sport? I'm as excited as anyone by him as a player and I think it's vital for the future of the club that there is a clear, viable pathway from the academy to the first-team. You can also tell from watching him that he's good enough and he's not just been thrown in there as a novelty. I just think of myself and my friends at that age and wonder how on earth it can be a good idea to subject even the most level-headed GCSE student to the insanity that is professional football, with all the money, pressure, scrutiny and everything else it entails.

 

He is a child - instinctively something about it feels wrong to me, and not just that it makes me feel old.

Nah.

 

I remember being 15 very well and I wanted to play at as high a level as possible. Often played in men's games at that age. Whenever I went up a level, I loved it. I was thrown into some big games (obviously nothing like professional football, but it's a question of dealing with pressure), and I loved the occasion and the pressure. If you told me I'd be playing for Leicester I'd have been over the moon. 

 

No pressure anyway, nobody expects the world of you at that age. The fact we were already relegated before he was given minutes means even more so there was no pressure on the lad at all. 

 

The point about having the right people around you is as true of 18 year olds as it is of 15 year olds, if not more so. At least when you're under 18 you're not able to go out getting on the juice!

He'll be knocking around with Hamza next season, anything is possible.

Cherki also started playing regularly for Lyon at 16. The best players nowadays just tend to start playing first team football at a young age.

I misread the link, we cited a £4.3m fee for another young player but only got £800k.

Explains the disparity between what we paid for Skipp and what we should have paid.
