Funny thing is, I can't remember the finer details of a single one of Leon's goals apart from his twice-taken penalty t'other week. My fault I'm sure, but I can remember LOADS of Bobby Zamora's goals. It's well weird. Guess the same might be true of a few more people cos the last poll on here for Player Of The Year had Butters streets ahead of Leon. How queer.

i wouldn't wish the lazy sod on micky. im sure hes got more sense and he doesnt need to ask benjamin about him. hes got enough contacts at brighton of his own. i dont know wholl have him but hes got to go.

Wasn't that the goal that beat Cheaterfield 1 -0?
His goal against sheff Wed was a run and low shot from the edge of the box into the bottom left hand corner, or have I got that totally wrong?

Hasn't he only scored one goal from open play in the past 2-3 months? I think there's a price we would accept for Knight, and I wouldn't be surprised if it's not too much - $500k?

Knight is one of our better plays, and at a time when most people seem to think that wholesale changes are needed, I certainly think we need to try and keep hold of one of the better players. If though Leicester did come in with a decent offer, then Knight would have to consider it.
The goal against Leicester in the friendly was quality.

Give it a f***ing rest you muppet, leon is a proven goal scorer, robinson is still young but marney is total wank. Without Leon this season we would be in the lower half of the table so shut your mouth and wake up.
Rant over.

Given the current climate, MM may be forced to let Leon go in the summer. If he gets £500k + this may be good business for us if it means we can get 2-3 players in his place.
However, I read these rumours in the Observer every week and rarely do any of them come true. I'm not too worried.

If Leon goes we'll see virtually nothing of the fee for team strengthening. Look at how much we've made/saved since the end of last season and how much we've spent on the squad.
Our days as the paupers of the football league look set to continue for the forseeable future with or without Falmer approval
Falmer is and will continue to be a black hole for any money. I can't see that we'll do any team strengthening that costs more than wages until we are playing at Falmer.
It will be worthwhile but how much longer will it be....

If a team comes in with decent money for him then sell him! The rest of the team is soooo poor having a player like Knight makes fek all difference. Besides his outragous diving antics in the early part of the season has come home to roost! Refs have his card marked and he is going to pick up loads of bookings!

If Leicester offered a million quid for Leon, I would honestly bite their hands off. I'm sure even the Albion would find a few quid in our black hole finances to find a replacement, and a million quid is well worth it for someone who hasn't exactly justified his status lately.
Maybe it's just me, but I look at the goalscoring charts and can't figure out how the hell he's scored 20 this season. I can hardly remember any of them! Apart from QPR at home.

Oh, it's not just me, I see Tom Hark has just said exactly the same thing!
I realise his 20 goals have been the difference between flirting with relegation and possible play offs etc, all I'm saying is that I can't see people being as worried about Leon leaving as they woud have been with, say, Zamora going.
