Leon Best

[shirleysfc]

We're interested according to a paper in Blackburn

[hypochondriac]

Please no.

[Whitey]

This has to be b0llocks

[Give it to Ron]

He can be next seasons scapegoat

[Glasgow_Saint]

He's the Best

[supersonic]

I'd still rather have George than Leon

[beatlesaint]

I'd still rather have George than Leon

 

I would rather have Pete Best than Leon Best

[buctootim]

We're more likely to sign Pete Best than Leon.

[Jack]

No thanks. Bullsh*t anyway.

[Bakovnetski]

We're more likely to sign George Best than Leon Best.

[DT]

I'd rather have Courage Best

[Gorgiesaint]

I'd seen Best was linked with Blackburn on BBC gossip page this morning - and now I've read the links mentions us & Norwich as interested as well according the Daily Mail.... Can't see it to be honest, he's be 5th choice here so why would he want to move. Blackburn in the Championship would be about his level tbh.

[Crazy Diamond]

No no no no no no no no no no no no no.

 

He can ****ing well stay in Newcastle. Him and McGoldrick are the stuff of nightmares. I'm never going to forgive nor forget his woeful performances - especially given that he constantly bloody moaned when he wasn't being played and was awful when he did play.

[S-Clarke]

Well he would be a downgrade.

[SOTONS EAST SIDE]

Rather sign the Bestest fans in the world! Then again WTF was i thinking!!!!

[supersonic]

I'd rather have Courage Best

 

Well said that man!

[Saint J 77]

No no no no no no no no no no no no no.

So you don't want him here then? Its a no from me too!

[Ziggy]

No thanks. Always thought he was crap.

[supersonic]

Surely we've added our only striker to the squad? Then again, The Daily Fail (Mail) reported some German was signing for Arsenal when he's just signed for Dortmund

[70's Mike]

No thanks. Bullsh*t anyway.

 

agreed just a lazy journo putting pen to paper

[Papa Shango]

Wasn't my favourite player in the world and I don't want us to sign him, but I think the level of hate directed towards Best from Saints fans is a bit OTT. He scored some important goals which helped us get into the play-offs, before he had that nightmare game at Derby. Not like he scored the OG/missed the penalty on purpose. He's obviously got a lot better since he left us and has a respectable scoring record for Newcastle in the Premier League

[pingwing]

Could be part of our triumphant return to the reserves league?

 

The southampton way is now win every competition you have been entered in, no matter how rubbish it is.... -_-

[Whitey Grandad]

If true, we're in trouble.

[Thorpe-le-Saint]

**** off

[sfc1971]

More chance of Pompey being given back all those deducted points and being reinstated to the Premier League.

Balance it out. Did he do more harm or more good? Harm. Ability wise how good is he? Not very good. Hence why I don't like him.

Who's to say, long term he may have done us a favour, would we have been taken over by Markus Liebherr if we had not gone into Administration. We might still be struggling along under the guidance of "he who shall not be named" if we had won against Derby and then been promoted under Whisky George. Then again.

Still wouldn't really want him back, he is unfairly maligned but he is still not really that good and always gives the impression of not being arsed.

[EastleighSoulBoy]

He can be next seasons scapegoat

 

You do know that Puncheon and Guly are still here?

[Bucks Saint]

You do know that Puncheon and Guly are still here?

 

Swap for Puncheon = yes ok. Otherwise, no ta

[eelpie]

He's no good at penalties.

[jjsaint]

No no no no no. Maybe if our ambition is to be relegated and settle into a mid-Championship level then fine. But this signing would be devoid of ambition.

Thats good I can boo all three for the price of one! ;-)

Oh do f**k off.

Well, we are a bit short on 'keepers

[david in sweden]

just bad memories, I'm afraid .

 

there's a lot to be said for remembering the old adage " never go back ".

[david in sweden]

yes .at the moment, but that may change before 18 August.

On twitter:

‏@SunSportNow

Newcastle striker Leon Best is undergoing a medical at Blackburn. #nufc

[SuperSAINT]

This link is agent talk if ever I saw it.

[saint-crinny]

Definite no from me, never go back and all that.

 

But, no doubt that he is a much better player now than he was with us and has scored a few more goals for Newcastle in the Prem than i ever imagined he would. From recent interviews he also seems to have lost sort of the attitude as well.

[Saint J 77]

He's no good at penalties.

 

Don't we know it I can't see us buying him as we are already covered for strikers , thankfully.

[pressingon]

SSN reporting 3m to Blackburn

[Big Bad Bob]

Blackburn get £3m to take him, that's a fair deal I guess!!!

[Crazy Diamond]

Bullet dodged - if indeed we were ever actually interested in him.

[Saint86]

So in fact, the Southampton way is to continue failing - thanks for clearing that up!

Yeah saw this today. Blackburn must be absolutely gutted. £3m for a prem striker in the hope he will get the goals to get them back up, and straight-away injured in pre-season meaning he misses the first half of the season at least.

Thinking they'd signed a Prem striker was their first mistake.
