Leicester kid - at Coventry the next Rooney?

Ex Judgemeadow u16s player and New Parks kid Jonson Harris makes his debut as the youngest ever Coventry City player at 16 years and 20 days last night. He is being watched by many big clubs and is being touted as the next Wayne Rooney.

A New Parks boy who plys his trade for Coventry? Sounds more like the new Marlon King to me.

Why is he not playing for City?

... the next Wayne Rooney.

Billy Kee?

 

[fitz]

What sort of name is that? People these days....

 

[homer]

Why is he not playing for City?

Maybe because he's contracted to Coventry ?

 

[Hazzman]

Why is he not playing for City?

Probably the same way Tom Parkes, Mansfield-born is playing for City rather than the Sheep or Florist.

 

[Spanky Fox]

No idea who he is but i also went to Judgemeadow

Why is he not playing for City?

Apparently clubs often don't want to sign local kids and suggest they go to other teams, not a clue why. I was told this was the reason the lad from Kasabian was on forests books rather than citys when he was a kid.

Or our scouts might not have been looking for a new Wayne Rooney

In all my time playing youth football around Leicester, I can't remember seeing a Leicester Scout. That's why I ended up at Derby for a bit.

It's a slur on my name, I know...

Was the season they got relegated along with City. John Gregory was manager at the time. 2001/02, I believe.

My giraffe of a cousin is at Derby. Getting to the important age of 15/16. He's been there since he was 8; I hope it's not wasted time.

How can a 'new Wayne Rooney' be playing for Cov?

As a 'keeper? Could have been the next Mart Poom...

Chopra was touted as being "the next Shearer"

Nope - the guy in the corner shop who sells him fags and the old dear who hires out her muff to him.
