For phuck sake

 

[Bladesman]

I bloody hope not!

 

[BexleyBlade]

Good enough when given a chance - something he never got under Warnock
Not, however, the sort of player we should be looking for in my opinion

 

[The One]

I quite liked him at the time. Thought he was a decent player but right now he's not what we need.

 

[SotonBlade]

Legs Of Wood can stay at the hoops! we don't want him back thank you very much!

 

[Ballinpigpubs13]

I believe he still has a house in sheffield near botanical gardens.

 

[DazBlade88]

He wasn't as bad as people made out, people didn't like him after 1 game and never gave him a chance after that.

He wouldn't come back here even if it was true.

Monty > Leigertwood

End of discussion.

I believe he still has a house in sheffield near botanical gardens.

Yeah, my mates rent it from him. Ha, they'll be gutted!

 

[matth]

Speed could well be out for the season, and so Monty's the only defensive midfielder we've got. I'd rather spend the wages on Legsofwood than someone who's got no chance of playing - like Hendrie, Carney or Gillespie.

 

[Bladesman]

I'd rather we spend the money on someone else and offload Carney, Keef and Hendrie.

Rangers reject Wolves bid
McCarthy could make new move for Leigertwood

Last updated: 8th January 2009

Queens Park Rangers have rejected a bid from Championship rivals Wolves for Mikele Leigertwood, skysports.com understands.

As revealed by skysports.com last week Wolves are one of three clubs chasing Leigertwood in this month's transfer window.

Wolves boss Mick McCarthy is thought to be an admirer of Leigertwood and he made a firm offer for the versatile performer earlier this week.

However, Rangers have snubbed their initial overtures as they look to keep hold of the 26-year-old.

Wolves are believed to be ready to make a new bid to sign the former Crystal Palace and Sheffield United ace as they look to persuade Rangers to do business.

Please put another bid in and stop us trying to get him back.

Ace? When was he ever ace?

Please put another bid in and stop us trying to get him back.

Yeah, what would Wolves know about signing players? we shouldn't be after the same individuals as the club at the top of our league

 

[Bladesman]

Just because Wolves are wanting him It does not mean Legsofwood is actually good.

 

[Sensiblade]

Just because Wolves are wanting him It does not mean Legsofwood is actually good.

Because it makes sense for a team in Wolves position to go out and buy all the worst players around?!?!?!?!

 

[matth]

No, but in all fairness Wolves play a different game to us. Just because a player would fit in with their team, it doesn't necessarily follow that they'll fit in with ours.

Personally, I wouldn't mind him coming back to give us something more than just Monty in the defensive midfield role until Speed comes back - if he does.

 

[Come from away]

We have Sun and Halford who can both play in midfield, plus Spring - no need for cover unless a real talent.

 

[BexleyBlade]

Spring gone now...just playing devil's advocate

 

[yuley82]

it said in the sun bolton also wanted him!!!

Very true and I also think it would be a useful addition.

Offers goals - as shown last season
Versatile - defensive and also reasonably creative
Strength/size - a bigger fella' than Howard/Monty may help in the middle

...his discipline however leaves a lot to be desired
