Ambitious Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 4 hours ago, Gerry Daly said: What a mood hoover Absolutely not, I'd be delighted if he signed and even recommended him a few months ago. I'm just very aware that whoever signs Leonard has to potentially outbid five other clubs on the commercial terms of his contract, so it's prevalent to set your line in the sand and what you're comfortable with before you get into a bidding war. Leonard is a very fine prospect, who has shown outstanding development since he was thrown into first-team professional football. He's far from a sure thing, plenty of players have stepped up from League One and struggled - it's a significant jump in class and takes a much greater level of professionalism to stay at the level.

Archied Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 Scotland also have had very low numbers of immigration over the years , I find it beyond stupid that England players face racist abuse from they’re own fans quite often when in truth we have seen the growth of fantastic players of African and Caribbean descent grace our domestic league and national team ( England ) which would be just ordinary without that quality , heard the snp calling for more immigration into Scotland, you can’t deny the country needs it and we may also get a better football team 😀, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People just haven't caught up with the modern world. This is systematic stuff from overseas troll farms such as the Russian IRA (its very name intended to stir disinformation) designed to undermine and destabilize British society. After the last Euros the security services immediately told Southgate it was almost all overseas, but the media here wants to promote a narrative so went with "football fans are terrible racists" instead. We're really not. You only have to look at this and other forums to see that. ivo_knoflicek 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a central midfielder, osborn would be more out wide, probably a full back/ wing back option If Osborn has a wide choice of clubs I can see him going somewhere he's promised a centre/left midfield starting role.

You can only sell what there’s a market for ,,, personally think it’s a bit deeper than you think on many issues , I kind of feel we have made strides but seem to be slipping backwards , the cause of that is interesting and perhaps uncomfortable certainly beyond talking about on here🤷🏻♂️ Edited June 18 by Archied Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might just be that unlike some of the bigger clubs, they don't silo players without regard for their future careers - think Chelsea. I think that possibly they like him as a player, but feel that he falls short of genuine PL level quality and for that reason, are happy to let him pursue fresh opportunities. If so, I think that's admirable as I feckin loathe the Chelsea model. DarkFruitsRam7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder though .. what is the score of English titles and trophies won by Scottish managers ?
