Junior Luamba

[Shrek]

As he's one of our youth products, one of our own, I find it disgusting the way we've treated him.

 

He had, still has, plenty of potential. Hasn't worked out for him, really shame really.

 

We've no intention of keeping him apparently, I believe our offer is around the same as his deal signed last time, straight off a youth. This then traps him as any club signing him owes compo. Unless there has been an update I've missed that still remains.

 

Poor form from us IMO.

Some may say with his injury record he was lucky to be offered a contract.

 

Hasn't really progressed much since his debut, probably due to injury problems.

 

He could always refuse the offer and try to get fixed up elsewhere.

Wasn't he on trial at Barnsley? If they'd picked him up for nothing because we hadn't offered a contract (as I believe happened with Simms) then the club will have got pelters for missing out.

 

Has he had offers/interest from clubs lower down the pyramid who can't afford the compensation so take it no further?

[LaticsPete]

He wasn’t good enough but we offered him a new contract . He turned it down. How is that treating him badly?

[LightDN123]

He was crap I’m afraid. Simple as that really.

Standard practice surely.

We offered him a contract the same level as his post youth one. Peanuts, it meant we were due compo. We don't actually want him to sign.

[archiecat]

The harsh realities of life ! be a footballer and earn peanuts or work in a call centre/warehouse etc and be wedged

Had a great chance here.....didn't take it. I'd be surprised if he make me eat humble pie, Amazon are taking on.

He was offered a deal on the same money and turned it down. He hadn’t shown much to warrant anything more in my opinion.

 

Nothing wrong with that is there?

Yes you'd really have to be looking for sticks to see that as one !

The intentions behind it are a little different. It wasn't an offer the club felt he would accept or indeed i believe wanted him to accept.

 

It's the same wage as his initial pro deal. That will be a pittance.

Is the potential compensation we'd be due stopping him getting another club?

It's all the club had to offer or indeed what Junior warranted. It's pro football.

Someone has worked it out.

 

20 year old kid. Poor in my view.

I meant has it actually happened? Another club wants to actually sign him but can't because of the compensation? Or are you theorising?

We've invested in his potential.  If someone else gets the benefit then us being compensated it seems fair to me.  It's not as if we're demanding a massive transfer fee!

You are assuming a lot there about what intentions were.

[Lukers1]

Drop down the league, get some qualifications and be a semi pro….

[Stainrod]

If he couldn’t establish himself in a team dropping down the leagues then unfortunately for him he’s not a good enough footballer in the club’s opinion.
