Interesting one and another example of a signing not being linked at all and the first you hear about it is when it appears a day away from completion, I like that about our recruitment.

Based on his lack of minutes in Belgium, I'd assume he's going to play mainly for the development squad for the rest of the season with potential minutes in the first team.

I think the plan for Bennette was that he'd take a year to settle in and then begin to make an impact this season. For whatever reason this hasnt been the case and the club think its better for him to get first team minutes rather than u21 level. I think Mundle moves into Bennettes role for the rest of the season and both will have pre season to show they are ready for the call up if we dont get promoted/Clarke is sold.

Agreed with this but regarding the bold bit - perhaps but not necessarily.

Stoke, Swansea and Plymouth all wanted him and I doubt they were planning on putting him in the U21s. One has to assume they think he's ready for Championship football.

I don't think he will immediately come in and start games by any means. But wouldn't be surprised if he was having an impact this season. Because he's had so many PL2 games he's probably more "ready" than Bennette, Mayenda etc

Sporting Director Kristjaan Speakman added: “We’re really pleased to have acquired Leo on a permanent basis, as he’s a player we’ve admired for some time. He possesses the ability to play three different positions in our backline, depending on the formation, and he joins us having already experienced the EFL Championship. We hope this will allow him to hit the ground running and help our team throughout the next 16 games, whilst also bringing added strength our squad in the long term.”


I assume the 3 different positions are left back, left centre back in a 3 or centre back in a 2. Rather than right back

Nobodies seen him play because he’s barely kicked a ball :emoticon-0102-bigsm if he can’t get a game in Belgium and they’re offloading him 6 months after signing him what makes you think he’s going to improve us right now which is what we need. We’ve got any amounts of talent who already cant get on the pitch.
 
If you ignore the fact he's also a back up make shift left back ; "big ball playing centre half" sounds great doesn't it :D


Leo said: “It feels great to be here and I’m grateful for the opportunity. I spoke to my dad, who showed me the size of the club and the support, and I knew it was a move I simply I couldn’t turn down. I’m a ball-playing centre back, or left back, and I like to get up and down the pitch. I’ve been at some big Clubs previously and this has helped me develop as a player and as a person, but I’m now ready to push on and take the next step.”

Dont think he settled in belgium, hes a very talented player thats ahead of the likes of mayenda n jewi at the minute. He wont start games immediately but thats not a bad thing, he 100% improves our squad

Was a standout in the u21 league last season, def needs to improve his decision making but the main thing i look for in a winger is can they beat his man 1vs1 - this boy can do that for fun, rapid n great ball control

he's a winger and a lw we aren't going to get a winger better then clarke we don't have any other winger to come on and replace clarke
he's very highly rated and it's and exciting option to have
he's leaving them because they are really struggling financially
