Poor old Dave It's a tragic fact that the more he bites at this picture, the more times it is destined to appear on here

The way it could have be handled better.

Back to the start of it all the Wolves game.

Question was something like - what happend with leon after he was subbed.

Mcghee could have quite simply said something along the lines of.
The boy is frustrated at being subbed today and it shows he wants to play, as for his reaction we shall have a word with him behind closed doors.

Fair point, but with LK's attitude I am sure he would still be on his way out...

Maybe you never know, The only case in recent times of thios sort of thing was Keane at Spurs when he stormed off after about 70 mins when wasnt brought on as a sub.
Jol Took didnt said what i put in the above quote and now look at him.

 

[B.W.]

Yes, but RK is worth retaining... LK isn't...

 

[Silent Bob]

Yes, but RK is worth retaining... LK isn't...

I see you've changed your signature.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Cant argue about rk, i was just trying to show the difference!

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Let us not forget the silly face McGhee pulled to the crowd after Leon shrugged him off when he was subbed after the Wolves game.

Taking the piss out of him cannot of helped surely?

 

[Yoda]

No option for 6 of one and 1/2 dozen of the other?

Both acting like a couple of kids.

Ah, comparing Keane with Knight again. Remind me, who did Robbie Keane present his 100th goal shirt to, Martin Jol or Mark McGhee?

I think this illustrates that Keane is probably a footballer with commonsense professionalism, and Knight is probably an utter screw-up who goes through both agents and clubs like a dose of salts.

But then Knight has only had 2 permanent clubs, us and Chelsea. The number of loan moves he has had is fairly common for players on the fringes at a top club.

Keane has had how many clubs before he has settled down?

 

[Uncle Buck]

Keane has had how many clubs before he has settled down?

Oh well;

1. Wolves
2. Coventry
3. Inter Milan
4. Leeds
5. Spurs

All of those were permanent moves, although he was intially on loan at Leeds, but they did sign him full time in the end.

And what's the excuse for the number of agents?

 

[London Irish]

Ah, but that's the key point - he HAS settled down. And Knight?

 

[Uncle Buck]

And what's the excuse for the number of agents?

Not sure any of us know that.

Agents are a problem in the game, maybe Leon falls out with them, maybe they do not tell him what he wants to hear, maybe they fall out with him.

Who knows, it is a shame more players do not go down the Southgate route of using the PFA to represent them.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

It was only a few weeks ago that Keane was being touted around to the likes of Man City and Birmingham because he wasnt getting a regular game and he was pissed off about it.

 

[London Irish]

Agents are a problem in the game

Ah, good call. Just as when Leon falls out with managers, it is always the managers' fault. When he falls out with agents, it's the agents' fault. When he falls out with bankruptcy courts, must be the fault of ther bankruptcy court.

If he's not a total screw-up, he's one hell of an unlucky guy.
