Could anybody tell me if we received anything for the Leon Best transfer to Blackburn?

Yorkshire SB · Jul 10, 2012

I'm sure we must have, deals involving young players invariably do

Astute · Jul 10, 2012

SISU could. It will be undisclosed.

Glen · Jul 10, 2012

I doubt it very much knowing wanky sisu

I see Best has found his level.

Never premiership standard..

Simply stupid. 10 goals in 31 starts for Newcastle is a respectable haul. Decent number of assists too

I agree. Any excuse to slate an ex cov player though

Why isn't he in the premiership then?

The answer is because he's horribly inconsistent and intermittently lazy.

wingy · Jul 10, 2012

Can't see he ever did anything wrong up there ,may have had a few injuries ,but his biggest obstacle would have been created through management change ,and increased funding policy .Did well when called on .

Yes, I sure do long for strikers like Andy Morrell over Leon Best.

In case you didn't realise, I'm being sarcastic.

Intermittently lazy? Does that mean part black?

Think the antipathy was a two way street ,never totally committed to us ,a commodity being moved around without real loyalty ,as emphasised by his desire for a swift move to Notts Forrest.

In case you don't realise it:

Andy Morrell hasn't played in the Premiership.

Slightly unlucky not be used more by the Republic of Ireland {if I'm allowed to say that},guess its how you're percieved .

WestEndAgro · Jul 10, 2012

He will be back in the Premiership anyway next season, when Bllackburn go up as Champions.
I rate Best very highly, almost unplayable on his day, and their arnt that many players you can say that about who have played for us lately.

Just my opinion

hill83 · Jul 10, 2012

I'll never understand the 'lazy' jibe directed at Best. To my eye he worked his bollocks off time and time again.

I suppose you are one of those educated supporters that prefers a trier to an achiever. Sean Flynn over Darren huckerby or robbie Simpson over Jordan Henderson, good player Best.

I suppose you're one of those educated posters that likes to use comparisons that you incorrectly assume I'd make.

Best was very often unmotivated to the point of embarrassment.

I'm not suggesting he's a poor player, my opinion is that his attitude has affected his altitude. Championship will probably do him good...

He was too like Jay Boothroyd for my liking. Had the talent but failed to show it on the big stage. It did look at one point that he might get a chance when Carroll left and he stepped it up temporarily, but for Pardew to need to bring in two extra strikers suggests he didn't rate Best at the top level. One expects his arrogance may have also played a part in that

Thank the Lord...

SkyBlue_Bear83 · Jul 10, 2012

Best was a decent player for us, I didn't think he would do as well as he did at Newcastle. He was a very selfish player, particularly towards the end of his Cov career.

Yea if Pardew has ambitions to consistently play in Europe then he didn't rate him at that level, I don't think it means he didn't rate him as a mid to lower end premiership player.

usskyblue · Jul 10, 2012

He was decent.
He was lazy.
He is not a premiership player.

You are clever. Blackburn are in the Championship. He was a Prem player until he moved there though.

I have come to the rescue of your lack of intelligence for you

Sutty · Jul 11, 2012

Is this the 'lazy' Leon Best that collapsed with exhaustion at the end of one match?

Inconsistent I'll give you, selfish possibly, but lazy? No way.

Real · Jul 11, 2012

Good player, yet another in a long line of good players our supporters booed because he didn't run around like a headless chicken.

theprince · Jul 11, 2012

We never really knew for certain what fee we got for Best when he left anything from £250k to a million i believe.

Spot on.

The lazy thing is mystifying.

Read your sentence again. Then we'll have a chat regarding intelligence.

ajsccfc · Jul 11, 2012

He wasn't a lazy player, he was screamed at by the type of person that wants to see the forward track back to their own goal line in the name of 'passion' and then bemoans the fact there's no outlet a few seconds later.

usskyblue · Jul 11, 2012

The comparison to Jay Bothroyd is valid.

Oh, except for the fact that Jay Bothroyd is playing in the Premiership....mainly because he rolled his sleeves up with Cardiff and got noticed.

Best-Injury prone and frustrating as feck. A liability when you're picking a team-you need to be consistent in the Premiership. That's why he isn't playing for a team that resides there.
