    Scienza has replied to this saying he doesn’t know the journalist and people shouldn’t believe everything they hear.

    Interesting. It was quite harsh.

    I decided to read back all of his X content. He doesn’t post much but he is quite defensive about his time at Magdeburg. He was dropped to the B team, where he scored 13 times in 10 games, and fell out with the coach over it. He seems to get some needle from some Germans over that, but there are more fans saying it was ridiculous to make him play in the sixth division.

    He has great energy. Take that Krasnodar... Leo felt the irresistable almost glamourous pull of Southampton! Comes across as humble, very well rounded, a great prospect for the dressing room too.


    "The fans are absolutely crazy,"

    He's uncannily come at exactly the right time, the white heat of the first derby in 6 years, for that to be not immediately dispelled. :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Yep very odd. Well researched, the journo knew the player's history, had knowledge of Will’s nascent set up, the positions of Robinson & Archer, etc.

    Yet he was noticeably dismissive and oddly haughty regards, Leo’s on-the-face-of-it impressively dogged irregular migration from futsal, Sweden, lowly German regionalliga, Bundesliga, to the pride of Hampshire. He'll be positively appalled by Sir Rickie sticking beetroot in jars.

    I'm gonna take the personal insights into Leo with a pinch of saltiness.

    To be honest I don't care about what he did or didn't do in Germany it's about what he does while he is here that matters.

    Can I just point out LTL and I were desperate for this to happen way before anyone else. :)

    You say practically every one we sign is going to be amazing. Of course sometimes you’ll be right.
