CONFIRMED Ryan Leonard

[Chali 2na]

I just think a bid like we received for the 2 Young players last year and he'd be off.

I'd love nothing more than the club saying "he's not for sale"

But it's not what we do.

My view is, and always has been, short termism has blighted our history. I long for the day we look at the bigger picture, for example we didn't have to sell Kyle Walker when we did he didn't want to leave we could have said no. There are countless other examples where we could have said no but didn't.

Don't come back with the 'but if players want to go' recent history is littered with examples of clubs keeping players that clubs have bid for, Charlton being one.

I accept sometimes bids are to good but the fact is we often seemingly don't put up a fight to incoming bids.

So how confident are you of him going this transfer window for "a million quid"?

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Where has all the money gone, again?

On that club jaunt to Marbella.

 

[WF10BLADE]

I'm confident that if a club bids that he'll go. Is that ok?

 

[Chali 2na]

Would you be willing to bet on it?

 

[WF10BLADE]

Would you be willing to bet on it?

No as I don't bet anymore why can't we just do what adults do - agree to disagree and then we'll see who is right?

If someone bids a million and we reject it I'll come on here and say I was wrong.

 

[Cerberus Blade]

How confident are you?

Ask the audience!

The problem is, it's the club's business model to make profits on player sales every season. We've been doing this consistently for the past 10 years or more now. You have to go back to 2005/6 season to find the last time we spent more on players than we made from selling them - and that was the season we got promoted to the Prem btw. Anyone spot a pattern there?

Shock horror; Cerberus blade talking bollocks again

 

[Pinchy]

The club doesn't make profits. It does, however, have to remain solvent.

 

[WF10BLADE]

In your opinion?

 

[Chali 2na]

In your opinion?

No.

If reported fees are to be believed we spent more than we received in transfers in 3 seasons since our promotion to the PL. (06/07, 07/08, 14/15)

 

[GaryHamsonsLeftBootLace]

This video and the one the club posted on YouTube called Pass, pass, pass! show that we're going to be alright this coming season. When you see us play football like that, you can see it's League One vs above League One. Not saying we're going to dominate teams like that this season, but the ability is there to compete at the next level.

I'm glad this thread has been resurrected, i was getting fed up with the goalkeeper thread.

 

[Lmaobob]

resurrected to show videos that have nothing about Leonard? YES, I'M GLAD IT'S BACK

Seems I can't stay away. Videos about Lenny? I can fix that. 1st 30 secs+ show why

He really should have done better with that. I've gone off him now.

 

[Rootshallbloke]

He should score more, but when he hits them they normally stay hit.

Stop trying to advertise him, we've moved on now

Surely if a player hits a shot by definition the shot is hit and therefore the 'normally stay hit' comment is unneeded as the shots originally hit state will surely continue to remain hit regardless.

You're thinking of Simonsens penalty I think.

So many of my posts are unneeded, but they just make me a happier person, especially when I've posted something about Leonard. Good that you've moved on though as it means I'll get to see more of Lenny's well hit shots.

Like the TWO he scored from last season.
You can't kid a kidder mate.
I do really want him though.

Has that landed yet!!!????

 

[adebo]

Has that landed yet!!!????

No it's in orbit with a couple of forestieri's from what NASA told me! Is it just me or does anyone else still get that warm fuzzy feeling thinking of that fall over merchant missing that spot kick?

 

[fireblade]

It's going to happen.

This is the video that Pinchy thinks of when he's on the nest and can't get wood...

As long as it's not that awful wig he wore for the Queen tour....
