Cheers Roy. A very mixed bag. I'll reserve judgement until I've seen him a few times. Looks good on that clip on S2 v Chelsea Academy, but that was only at that level - but they did have Abrahams playing for them and he kept him quiet. Let's hope that he makes a similar impact to that of EEL when he first signed.
Potto rates him - I assume CW and AK rate him - so he can't be that bad.
Gratifying to note that we now have loans from the top two in the PL last season. Moving in the right direction!
Sounds like a work in progress rather than solid and dependable.
CW will need to work some magic
oh cmon tt give chris some credit here i think its a fantastic signing for us
Doesn't sound like we can put him in the middle alongside O'Connell and basham more like on either side of Wright so he can guide him as he did with EEL last season
chris will need to work magic that sounds to me like you dont think its a good signing to me tt do you propose we pay blackburns ridicoulous asking price of 5mill for lenighan then ?
Like I said, there's a 7+ page thread about him leaving on their main forum at 19 years of age so he must have something about him. Most thst age won't even get a mention at that level.
"Chris will need to work some magic" implies that he has previously and he can with another.
You interpret it any way you want but don't try, poorly, to conflate 2 seperate issues.
I was commenting on THIS signing only.
Conversely I could accuse you of not trusting CW's judgement, because he wants Lenighan, but you seem critical of this by questioning the decision.
yes he wants lenighan but not at 5mill and rightly so weve bid 2mill i believe and thats what hes worth i think by signing this promising spurs lad that interest may be over now i think its a really exciting signing
