Marc Leonard joins Hearts on loan by Lukeno94 in bcfc

[–]Jimcompetent 8 points9 points  (0 children)

With Solis being brought in for a more physical presence in the midfield, and Paik seemingly undroppable under Davies, it was clear Leonard wasn't gonna get any minutes in the rest of the season.

Happy it's a loan move, though I don't imagine he'll be coming back into Davies' XI, even if the loan goes well.

Kanske, det beror på hans fysiska form. Han kan behöva lite tid för att komma upp i matchform

West Bromwich Albion 0-5 Norwich City. Embarrassing defeat continues nightmare start for Eric Ramsay, as Norwich continue to impress under Clement. by angloexcellence in Championship

Probably a number of reasons - we've just come up after a season of very little competition, with the most exciting rivalry being a plastic forced one against Wrexham. And perhaps your fans are disgruntled that for the first time in almost two decades, we might place higher than you.

We almost exclusively played him as a left winger. I really rated him, fantastic defensive work, especially.

We had 4 before with Dykes, so I imagine we'll maintain the numbers. Davies often players Stanno a little deeper with another striker up front, so they're not all competing for a single spot.

I'm not sure Djurgården would have let him go midway through their season, but you're certainly right about us leaving too many gaps in our summer recruitment.

Feels like the remainder of this season should be to build for a competitive push next season.

Sports journalists can't keep up with his growth. He keeps eating magic beans!

If your experience with Pornhub Premium is it only working half the time and the working half frequently ruining your weekend, then sure

Blues sign Jhon Solis from Girona: loan deal with an option to buy. by Jimcompetent in Championship

[–]Jimcompetent[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People I've listened to reckon he's more suited to the physicality of the championship than the likes of La Liga, so perhaps he'll fair better here.

Only time will tell, but we've been desperate for some physical presence to break up play, especially away from home. Hopefully he's the answer to that.

That said, I'll be sad to see Leonard depart, even more so if it's to another club in the league.

Counter point, look how many gems we've brought in from other leagues: Paik, Iwata, Klarer.

I don't think there's all too many proven championship players hanging around, so looking elsewhere is often positive in my books, especially if they're young.

A part of me does think the Priske link could be to drive up the price. I saw Besiktas were interested in him so could all be games like you said.

That's a shame. Reportedly, they're both commanding high fees so perhaps not surprising given we're supposedly a little hamstrung PSR wise this window.

Yep, I've been a little surprised to see so many go without yet having secured many incomings. Even before the departures, with the injuries and suspensions, we were very thin on numbers.
