Leon Cort

According to the SLP we are closing in on signing Leon Cort on loan (ex Palarse)
Anyone know if hes any good

 

Have just checked Wiki and he's been around a bit (Hull, Stoke, Burnley) over the last few years - Wouldnt be a bad player to have on the bench over Doc I suppose

 

Very impressive for league one! Has a few years prem experience and plenty in the championship. Strong and quick, but has lapses in concentration.

Only concern is- would cort be happy to join as cover? Think he plays full back too...

 

Sounds like he would be a decent 3rd choice also very experienced

 

Well, definitely a very useful player to have but the one big question is - "What does he get out of this?"

Even though he's (apparently) out of favour at Burnley, he'd be dropping a division; we'd be paying him about half of what they're forking out; unless there's an injury/suspension crisis, he's just not going to get a game.

Unless he's got an overwhelming desire to come back dahn sarf, IMO he may as well stay on loan at Preston and see what move Burnley can come up with next.

 

just heard we are about sign leon cort season long loan is he any good at 31?dont know much about him was he at newcastle and wimbledon one stage havent checked his previous clubs hope someone can do his goal stats on here each club he played for cheers

 

Already a thread JA, please use that one

 

woops sidnt see that one just drank a whole cider !!!!!!!!

 

Agree on face of it looks a strange one to me, for reasons stated in earlier posts.

 

None the less- a good addition to a already strong squad!

 

Why would he take a pay cut for a loan deal? If Burnley want to get rid and we won't pay the full wages, then they'll just have to pay the balance. If he's contracted to get a particular wage, that's what he'll get.

So... what he gets is a move south and a chance to put himself back in the market

According to Wikipedia, his loan spell at PNE ended last January or something like that. It's Clarke Carlisle who's on loan from Burnley to PNE

 

Just been confirmed now we just need another striker

 

real nice try bullmans i think its called asda do a large bottle went down well with a kebab!

 

Looks like the end is nigh for Mambo then.

 

Unless the doc is moving on, FHB...

 

Hopefully the Doc is moving on, the only reason I like him being in the team is that it makes me chuckle seeing him hobble around on the pitch like an arthritic old troll.

Not entirely over the moon about the signing of Cort, I'd far rather have seen a younger, left-footed CB sign permanently (perhaps someone who hasn't represented both of our South London rivals), but I guess I'll reserve judgement until I've seen him in the red shirt.

 

I dunno last time we loaned a player who had represtended all three South London clubs it didnt turn out that badly - aka. Darren Ward (Always felt we missed out big time when we didnt get him on a perm deal)

 

Your thinking of Leon's older brother Carl Cort who was the one to play for Newcastle and Wimbledon
