HawK Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 What a waste of time Best is, what a waste of £2million. It's ok because he's under 26 we can sell him on at a profit. Oh wait. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 There's no way we paid £2 Million for him man, where did them figures come from? He was out of contract in 6 months ffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Never said it was. It just isn't looking good for Leon at the moment. He's looked very poor for us and his old team are playing better without him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BooBoo Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 One thing I noticed today was how keen our crowd are for a scapegoat. A straightforward win yet still moans when our attacks didn't result in anything. Best was especially an easy target. Let's not be utter twats and give the lad some games to prove himself. Its common consensus that we have great fans yet sometimes I wonder... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its common consensus that we have great fans yet sometimes I wonder... That annoyed me a bit today. Towards the end when we were 2-0 up and cruising an attack broke down and fucking hundreds went mental in the Leazes end around me. It was as though we'd just let one in or thrown the match away. Ludicrous stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Unfortunately many of the SJP regular crowd are fools. Not great to admit it but it's a truth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Still don't agree with this signing. Said it at the time and will say it again - he's not a premiership player and that's where we'll be next year. Would've rather perservered with Ranger's development.

BlueStar Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Can't yet see what this lad's strength is or what he brings to the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest michaelfoster Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 The problem is Ranger hasnt looked enough of an attacking threat, his pace, strength & hold up play are good but he's not taking enough of his chances, i think thats maybe why we signed Best, we needed someone who was proven in this league and can score goals off the bench. Ranger desperatly needs to go out on loan for a season to a CCC club where he can play 90 mins every week and gain some experience & get some goals which will boost his confidence.

But Best hasn't scored in the league since November despite being Coventry's number one striker. He's not proven in this league at all other than a purple patch at the start of this season - he played every week last season and scored 2 league goals.

He's at the best CCC club though. I know what you're saying, because obviously he's not getting game time here, but since Best hasn't shown anything more than Ranger, I'd be tempted to give Best a few more chances and then get Ranger back in. If we go up though I'd like to see Ranger at a CCC club, Most definitely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We shouldn't have signed Best. We should have loaned Harewood for rest of the season before he picked up his injury at Villa in training or we should have loaned some other Prem striker in for a few months. Were stuck with Best who sadly isn't the best. I'm open to him playing and turning opinion around but he's going to be under a lot scrutiny. He hit a decent cross for Carroll's goal against Swansea but that's about it so far. As for Ranger, defo agree he needs to be out on loan somewhere so he can get some experience. Perhaps now that Lovenkrands his picked up a knock we will keep him as cover though. Harewood broke his foot and is out for the season, or most of it, we couldn't sign him even if we wanted too.

Ronaldo Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 He said 'before he picked up his injury'. Harewood should have been signed up on Jan 1st. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with all of that. If we'd got in Best earlier then maybe a loan could have been arranged fror Ranger. He's a real promising player but his conversion of chances is pretty average.

Jayson Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 If Ranger had've played more, he'd have scored more. People are basing him not scoring on chances he gets in the last 5 mins of games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest michaelfoster Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 He's started 7 games this season and not really been much of an attacking threat in those games. I think he is a good player with alot of potential but IMO some people are OTT with his hype Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I geniunely haven't seen anyone go OTT with hype for Ranger except when people have been very obviously tongue in cheek. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayson Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 He hasnt started a game in the championship since the 1-1 with QPR. The rest is carling cup/Fa cup games, the striker in a 4-5-1 or had 30 - 5 mins to make an impact. Its not enough of a basis to say he wouldnt be able to finish Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coco Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Best is only 23. I really can't understand why people are on his back already, after a handful of games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
