thinking of when the day comes when Leon no longer plays for us, more so than when considering my own death. |  | | |  |

Leon seems to be the only one who can thread decent through ball it seems. I hope he can teach a few others before he retires/dies. | | | |

I know it's simple to say, but why can't we coach/find a player to find pockets of space, always available for the ball, who just passes it off to someone in more space.
Is Leon that more intelligent than most players, or is he just more willing to not try the miracle check me out ball? |  |

He is very very quick on his feet, I don't mean a fast runner, but nimble in thought and those little movements that make all the difference.
I don't think you can coach that, the player has to have that ability and then you coach them to play football.
It might be possible for someone like Dyer to switch as Leon was also a winger, but they have to already be able to anticipate, think and move quickly.
They do tend to be on the smaller side too. | | | |

He is just technically better than the average player, who had his career delayed because of his size i.e. too small for the top level in some peoples eyes. I hoped jack cork would learn but that is obviously not going to happen. | | | |

He is quality, his replacement should have been signed a few years ago so that he could undertake an apprenticeship with the master. this needs addressing sooner rather than later. | | | |

Totally different type of player ....there is only one Lepn
We need to get Leonto Coach Jack Cork on how to play that role | |

I was talking to one of our much maligned former coaches about this very point. Obviously Cork is the better athlete, but what Leon can do in one touch Cork needs 3. He also thought Leon will make an outstanding manager one day, got an outstanding understanding of the game... | | | |

Leon should have a whole bunch of England caps by now. He'd have had them too if he'd been playing for one of the glamour clubs. | | | |

He is a quality player, he doesn't have the physique others have but he has the technical skills and reads the game very well. I would like to see him kept on at the club as he starts to wind down, he could start to do the academy stuff and if he shows real potential (which I think he will) we should look to send him to other clubs, places like Barcelona, PSG, etc where his development and learning will be assisted and enhanced with a view to one day becoming our gaffer!

I genuinely believe that if Leon had been born in Spain, started at a mid table La Liga club and played during exactly the same period that he has then he would have had around 10-12 Spanish caps. | | | |

Really?, which part Leon played a massive part in where we are now, he's evolved with us, probably in the top 5 of our best ever players who have played for us and I 've followed us for over 40 yrs and I've seen Herbie and the like. |  |

I'm laughing at the idea that Dyer could do what Leon does, personally. | | | |
