DumbleDelia is Magic 0 Posted April 11, 2005 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/3569808.stmHenry, Van Nistlerooy, Rooney, Drobra move over. The Premiership has a new partnership! In all seriousness though I''d just like to flag up how well Leon has done since the turn of the year. He''s looked like a different player. We all know he liked to terrorise defenders but he''s looking like a real Premiership striker now. Probably not coincidently, it''s been since Deano has arrived. They have looked like a really excellent partnership. Hanging onto both of them will be vital for next season, whatever league we''re in.Well done Leon and Deano Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NavMan 0 Posted April 11, 2005 Must agree with you DD - I have always liked Leon even during his Peterborough days and was willing Nige to sign him even before he eventually did. Give him another season and we will have a true star on our hands. Could never understand the stick he got earlier in the season on this board. Probably because he went a couple of games without scoring !!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saint Canary 0 Posted April 11, 2005 Agreed, Leon has looked such a better player since Ashton arrived. Probably a mixture of Ashton''s arrival and Leon working hard to adjust to the PL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
susie b 0 Posted April 11, 2005 Has anyone else noticed that Leon seems to be doing a great job in the ''helping Dean to settle in'' stakes as well? Several times on Saturday he went over to have a chat and give him a quick pat on the back, which can only help them cement their partnership I would think.
