Leon best [signs on a half-year loan]

[Insel affe]

240 odd games and only 54 goals as a striker an average of .225

Not that impressed.

 

[BensGrandad]

I am judging on the way people I know view it. A run of good results and the bad SH times are behind us CH is the future as the latest results show. That is assuming a good run of results.

I hope to god that it is a done deal!

The club need to show more 'ambition' IMHO. Stop talking about it, with silly marketing strap lines. Start acting as if they actually have ambition to move up the league. I'll always go, no doubt you will to, but the butterflies have already flitted away, and that trend will continue unless the club splash the cash on some players that excite.

There's Kaz, there's errr... no other players that excite in our squad.

 

[LamieRobertson]

A lot of negative comments on the thread..and i can see where people are coming from ...but sometimes when a player changes club things 'click' ..personally i'll reserve judgement until the lads played a reasonable amount of games.

Scraping the barrell here

 

[BensGrandad]

If he signs, plays and scores tomorrow he will be hailed as the new Messiah, people will forget Murray.

I'm certainly NOT going to boo his name but, really, does this signing (if it happens) excite you? Is he the man to drag us away from the relegation zone? His scoring record suggests otherwise, doesn't it?

Ashley Barnes has a similar ratio but I would have him back in a heartbeat.

 

[Withdean11]

15 appearances for free scoring Derby this season and 0 goals. If this is our answer to our attacking problems we are in deeper trouble than I thought.

Burke IN!

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Under DK, we at least aimed high....

Like when we signed Johnny Dixon, Gifton Noel-Williams, Graham Barrett and Sam Williams, you mean?

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Maybe- crosses fingers- the Hughton connection will work for us. Clearly he feels he knows the bloke well enough to get something out of him.

 

[portslade seagull]

Best is worst ?? lets hope not

 

[RM-Taylor]

O'Grady gone by the end of the day then.

 

[BensGrandad]

His record at Newcastle, presumably under CH, was not too shabby 10 goals in 42 games, not brilliant but better than our current tally by a striker at this level.

 

[Mellotron]

We should be aggressively pursuing Chris Wood. 5th choice striker at Leicester, previously did fairly well with us, fit the exact mould of the striker we need, young and still improving.

At the reported £4-5m transfer fee I dont think so.

 

[house your seagull]

He is on 35k a week at Blackburn, I understand.

 

[BensGrandad]

Bridge was on double that at Man City, Bent on more at Villa, but we got them so anything is possible.

Hope he's prepared too take a pay cut then if we're buying him.
