AlanSkÃrare Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Brilliant money for him. Capable player though, excellent attitude and stepped up at vital times (WH 5-0, Fulham 2-1, QPR 1-0). Really hope he does well at Blackburn. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 He'll absolutely smash that division tbh - he's clearly improved immeasurably since joining us. One who's really adapted and excelled having played with/against better players. It's an excellent signing for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sifu Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Good luck to him. Disappointed to see him go but that's life/football - hope he does well and properly excels in the Championship (might even put a bet on him to be top scorer next season...).

Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 What the hell are we going to do in the AcOn? As it stands right now we have Shola left to play up front and thats it, unless he gets a Nigeria call up? :S We need to pull our fingers out this window and get a couple of strikers in man.

Unbelievable Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 What the hell are we going to do in the AcOn? As it stands right now we have Shola left to play up front and thats it, unless he gets a Nigeria call up? :S We need to pull our fingers out this window and get a couple of strikers in man. Best of luck to him. Sad to seem him leave as I think he's been a decent player. Saying that, I think if we are about to move on the higher placed in the PL, he should be one of our lads to leave. We have 3 strikers left now. One is physically incapable of playing more than 20 minutes and another is capable of 70 minutes at best. You realise the transfer window is still open yes?

Ketsbaia Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 That's a fantastic fee, mind. Shame to see him go but it was inevitable and I wish him all the best. Leon Best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panic and play Harper and Elliot upfront. Or, realise that the window has been open for 2 days and continue with negotiations and bring in a striker or two within the next 2 months.

Geordie Ahmed Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Similar to Guthrie, disappointed he is leaving BUT understand and respect his decision I hope he does well and I think he will, he is better than that division, surprised a premiership club didn't go for him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Who's the one who is incapable of playing over 70 minutes? Also I'm aware the window has just opened but I'm still worried we'll be left short. If Ba does fuck off we will need to bring in 3 strikers IMO. And I just cant see that happening. Reckon we should have tried harder to keep Best at the club, did absolutely nothing wrong and his PL goal record was good for us aswell, his link up play was vital to some other goals aswell...e.g... 3-0 Blackburn at home.

Kanji Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Sorry to see him go, he probably was unlucky not to score a few more before he went down with his injury, just loved some of his goals and how he would surprise us with a quick flick or 2 to open himself up for a shot and/or score. I always thought highly of him and will never forget that hat-trick in the first year back at home, he was just brilliant that night. Great fee given his injury record and I will root for him, hopefully see him destroy the Championship and if Blackburn come back up, then great for us as we'll get a little bit more money.

lovejoy Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 good luck to him. cant believe we got more than £3m for him mind, given his contract situation. good deal for all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
themanupstairs Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Would have loved him to stay as a squad player. More than capable imo. His goal at home to QPR last season was vital to our great run just before Cisse got all up in this motherfucker. Good luck Bestie son. Always welcome back.
