Foluwashola Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Bugger me, send him back. He has the concentration of a 3 year old. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keefaz Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Get the other skin ffs Keef, that one is awful. I tried it, but nothing made sense to me anymore! I'm getting old, and confuse easily. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 He is quick. How fast can he run then? 13. May aswell just put a screenshot up and then we can all make a fair judgement on the lad It's not pretty. http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/599/thebestr.jpg Corners 2. Don't see what people are complaining about, he is clearly a replacement for Geremi, only twice as good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewellander Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I'm willing to give him a chance and be optimistic. It is strange, though, that he was clearly not our first choice but got such a long contract. Surely we'll be in for another striker come the summer.

Ritchie Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 £55k? We'd better not have paid more than that! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keefaz Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Maybe Hughton misread the scout report and thought, "Hey! It says this Leon kid's The Best! Can we get him in?" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 It was quite funny listening to Ray Houghton absolutely slate Leon Best at every available opportunity, Thought Best did pretty well for a guy who'd obviously never been involved in a game of football before. Ah yes now I remember this guy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colocho Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Looking forward to seeing this guy for myself tbh. No good bashing the guy before he's even pulled on a Toon shirt. At the end of the day as long as he's got a bit of pace he'll be another option if Loven is out - at the moment he is our only forward with pace and, you never know, he might just step up to the plate if he's got the opportunity. We'll see I suppose. Better than nee fucker at all. From what I've read he's pretty immobile. I think people just assume he has pace because he's a black guy. The key question is whether or not he's any better than Harewood, because that's who we'd have gone back to. Good point, also he's got age on his side.

Mr. Slugworth Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 He didn't get the number 9 shirt, and the 3.5 year contract is just for Ashley to protect his investment and secure a resale value. I'm confident we'll be in for a quality premier league striker in the summer if we go up. Lets give the lad a fair chance - plenty of time to get on his back if he doesn't cut it.

I think the opposite. I think all these players were are signing now are being signed now rather than later and in the summer we will sign no fucker.

Willow Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 He has my full support, hope he does really well for us. Another young english player in the squad. Hungry to succeed, but not in the Viduka sense Gan on Leon! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Well, I won't judge till he's played a few games for us, but man this is an odd signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I'm willing to give him a chance and be optimistic. It is strange, though, that he was clearly not our first choice but got such a long contract. Surely we'll be in for another striker come the summer. He'll have been in mind from day one without a doubt, and was clearly the back-up option in case Beckford & Moses failed. Good to see the club actually have an insurance policy for once in that respect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes now I remember this guy. Seriously, fans are going to hate this guy. He's probably quicker than Ameobi and Carroll, but being fast is no use if you don't have a clue how to use that speed. What we desperately need is a guy who is quick, but who also is comfortable on the ball and has some sort of intelligence to his play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
