Wolfie20 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 With some posters, if we brought Ibrahimivic they'd moan he won't fit into our system. Any improvement in quality shouldn't be sniffed at - it could make that vital difference at the end of the season between success and disappointment. If he signs then give the guy a chance!

DcFc Dyycheee Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Could be a good signing this one, I'm quite happy with Best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srg Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Think he will be decent. I'm completely ignoring wages etc because it's not really down to us to say who and what we can afford. If we couldn't, we wouldn't. But from what I've seen of him, he is pretty in the air which is definitely something we don't have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PistoldPete2 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 If we sign Best on loan, would we not keep Sammon? I think he would be a replacement for Bamford, not Sammon. I guess Sammon would be less likely to play as Bamford was sometimes played on the wing. But sammon had some good moments as a sub, its just hes not a target man and neither was Bamford .

Bamford played out wide, I'd very much doubt Best would. I'd expect us to loan a Prem kid for the Bamford role (Ibe has been touted a few times) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmericanRam Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Just about anyone is better than Sammon tbh.With that being said,Best is well worth a look and with SM at the helm he can get the most out of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFC1388 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Best is an improvement on Sammon which is what we needed...good deal in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted McMinn Football Genius Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Plenty of experience at this level, trust in SM & SR they've not served us to badly so far! SM obviously sees something in Leon and I for one trust his judgement. We all wanted a back up to Chrissie Martin, well we it looks like LB is that man.

Ambitious Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 I think he fits our system well - I'm okay with him signing purely for that reason. With Sammon and Bamford we didn't have that, we really hinged on Martin's fitness and luckily it worked out well. Next season could be different, but Best can come in and play that role upfront, no problem. Whether or not he's going to score the goals to make us Champions doesn't bother me, he simply helps the continuity of the system and team. If he is a 'bad apple' in the side then I hope we have given ourselves leverage to send him back. I'm sure it won't come to that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuff264 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 It'd be a good move for him, he would only need to outscore Sammons two goals last season to be a worthwhile signing Has the bar ever been set so low Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapeTownRams Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 This one doesn't excite me at all. Don't rate him and don't feel his attitude fits in with the team spirit which we have at the moment . Smacks of desperation if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamNut Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 I'm starting to feel pretty sorry for Sammon tbh. Its all getting a bit cruel now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Contain Nuts Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 I'm starting to feel pretty sorry for Sammon tbh. Its all getting a bit cruel now. If it's any consolation he's probably got a gorgeous wife and a handsome wage packet. I spent so long defending Sammon during and after his first season...

kingsy1884 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Sammon bless him, no one tries harder he did okay for us way back but I think the team has improved so much under SM that he doesnt fit our system and just totally looks out of place. Best will be a direct replacement for Martin I expect. But did he not play a few games out wide for Soton or Newcastle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekkie_ram Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Blackburn decided he was worth pretty much the maximum we've EVER paid for a player. I'm very happy with the squad depth he'll give us WHEN he signs #NotITK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
