Saint NL Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Considering I'd never heard of the guy about 24 hours ago, I have to admit I'm excited by this Lesley signing. He sounds exactly what we need, plus it might enable Shea to go out on loan and get some game time as well. Welcome aboard. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels like there is a solid option for a double pivot now which would really help shore us up when needed. GK and a quiality AM and we can compete to stay in this league. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkish Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Following in the saints tradition. Let’s hope he’s anywhere near as influential and successful as our last Leslie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusic Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 From his interview he speaks very good English and comes across as very focused and confident. Everything read about him suggests he is a top prospect so could be a very clever loan deal with potential to benefit all three parties. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarvSFC Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Think he'll take Aribo's place in the team, which is needed and yeah, could throwback to the days of having Schneiderlin/Wanyama protecting the defence with Downes and Ugochukwu instead. Unfortunately, the previous Les didn't believe in loaning players without an option to buy, but the loan market is definitely one where we can get players who are too good for us and all the noise around this bloke is that he is. If he helps keep us up, he earns us millions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maysie Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Yes. Very good. Watched him in all pre season and looks big and strong with skills. Good deal. Comment above from a Chelsea supporting mate when I asked if he was any good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With FFP and the like it's a shrewd business decision and smart for sustainability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pleased by this, and by the 3284 different variations of his name that we will see on Saintsweb over the next 12 months. 😄 Hopefully this frees Charles up to move to Celtic on loan which means.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hypochondriac Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Really good sign that we've strengthened an area we were light in. You'd have to think we will get a keeper and AM in now considering that this position wasn't as critical as those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypochondriac Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Just now, karlb79 said: Is he eligible for the game tomorrow? I'm guessing by the late announcement probably not....... Almost certainly not but even if he were I don't think you could justify playing him. He's not like a striker that you could throw on for 20 minutes to try to bag a goal.

hypochondriac Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Worth pointing out that this is exactly how we should use the loan system. It allows us to procure a higher quality of player that we would never be able to afford permenently. Also taking advantage of Chelsea and their ridiculously large squad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kristian Loekkegaard Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 2 hours ago, Saint Scott said: Welcome Lesley. I brings me calmness that we have more debth in our central midfield now. He seems like a - primarily - defensive midfielder, but I hope he has great athleticism and ability to learn fast -> can adapt quickly to our system and run from box to box. As Alfie House said on Twitter (didn't he?): "Good loan signing". Now we await the news of a new, good PL keeper. Then there is light ahead and genuine hope for a good season with us comfortably ending in top 17 as I see it 🌞 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
