Leon Best - The New Toon Talisman!

This! When we want to move forward, he won't cut it.

 

I think Carroll is the better player. But I prefer Best still, he's eager to earn his place, while Carroll..well he was scum.

On a side note, hearing him in the interview after the Fulham match, Best really doesn't have the voice I expected him to have. Not to sound sterotypical but I thought he'd have the "Black gangstaaa!" voice..far from the truth! Shows my ignorance I suppose

 

Could have sworn he did have that voice in an interview he did in America pre season. Was a bit shocked as well

 

As i've said, he's a decent striker when he's in form but there is no way he is good enough to wear the #9 shirt.

Alan Shearer would be appalled that Obafemi Martins wore the shirt but nobody could have foreseen the antics of greedy-****-gypsy Andy Carroll so that one has to be forgiven - Leon Best? ...**** off.

 

Leon Best isn't anything like Darren Bent. Best is a target man where as Bent is a finisher.

Bent has shown himself to be a very technically gifted player in recent times.

 

I'd say Best is able to be either a goal poacher or target man, most of his goals for us have been what would be desribed as poacher's goals, he just has a very different build to Darren Bent and will not be as prolific.

 

He's ****.

Just sayin..

 

No, he's not. Inconsistent, yes, but quality when on form. It sounds like he's on a wave of confidence at the moment, so here's hoping he can ride it for a good while.

 

He certainly isn't ****, but he isn't exactly the greatest in the world either. If he keeps banging in goals that get us wins why does it even matter I wonder? Some people seem to hold the number 9 shirt with way too much reverence. Yeah it's an important shirt that we can't go around dishing out to whoever the hell shows up at the front door but if this guy says he wants to earn it and works hard to start bringing in goals in the double figures I would have no problem rewarding him with it. I'd say somebody who knows what it means, works hard and scores his way to earning the shirt is far more worthwhile a number 9 than some big name signing who gets it the second they sign without proving a thing.

 

Well said.

 

**** YOU ALL BEST HATERS..

IF HE SCORES 20 GOALS +++.. GIVE HIM THE N.9 SHIRT! #BEPOSTIVE.. IT'S LIKE SOME OF YOU WANT BEST TO FAIL!

 

Just saw Best's goal again on MOTD2, as it has been picked in the possible Goal of the Month, looks better than I thought originally.

 

one things for sure though £1million for him is looking a bargain now!

 

blessing in disguise! who would have thought but yeah if he earns it theres no reason he shouldnt, most people seem to think hes good when on form and has confidence, imagine the confidence he'l have getting the shirt that shearer etc wore!!

 

I have to say I held him in the same regard as Perch at the start of last season, and when I found out he was starting in the first, and only game of the season I got to go to I was a bit pissed off and feared the worst, but since that day, I think I speak for a lot of people when I say he has really become something of a favourite of mine, he always puts in the effort, scores the goals and has an incredible attitude about him. If he puts in a shift this season, then I would happily see him given the No.9 shirt next season. It is a shirt that should be earned, like Carroll earned it, and lets hope that should this happen, Best stays loyal to the club, and gives us a few good seasons.

Although saying that, I'd probably take £35m for him...

 

Leonel Bessi will be our next hero. There will be a statue of Leonel erected in his honour of him slaying the weak and weedy mackems!

 

I'll be honest, when he came on against Swansea in the Championship I was so angry.


What a bad game that was.

 

The only thing Carrol has on him is height/Strength

 

I remember when he was started against West Ham last season. I was like 'here we go again'...... And then he scored a hat-trick. I've always thought he looks like somebody who is desperate to prove himself and will always give 100%.

Also he is the least Irish Irishman of all time

 

I officially love him now he is called Leonel Bessi! (even though I think he's champsionship quality at Best - Pun intended)
