He has the same maverick ability but is more consistent, is better defensively and has end product. Traore had better decision making (in the final third, not his own!) - e.g. that pass that Bailey never made VS Spurs to put Tielemans in, there's no way Traore wouldn't have made that. I do think he's an upgrade overall though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villatillidie95 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Reckon he’s gonna give the hammers defenders a real torrid time. Looks so confident and having a great season! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom13 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 His poor decision making is irritating me. Firstly last week VS Spurs, then not releasing Duran first half today. Might sound petty but if he makes the right decisions, we have a good chance of taking the lead in both games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truth is Leon was tired of the poor conditions of travel, accomodation, security and has finally refused to pay his own way etc. Also said he got alot of his injuries due to poor accomodation and multiple circumstances on international duty and so on. So basically he's refused to play until they get their act together at the JFF Edited March 20 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TheMightyVillans Posted March 21 Popular Post Share Posted March 21 (edited) Interesting how he really pushed for us to sign diaby. I wonder how much influence that has on the actual transfer happening. Edited March 21 by TheMightyVillans 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But big club " etc Jamaican players at big clubs shining light on the country etc. He basically answered the question pretty intelligently, he literally never answered the question directly at all. " I'm happy and comfortable where I am but you never know what can happen in Football ". Would be pretty stupid of him to slap any club away outright then they offer 100 mill or something for him in summer lol Edited March 21 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they were talking about the other Jamaicans and they asked if he would accept a move to Chelsea, he then says - There are the big 6 in England including Arsenal and Chelsea...who wouldn’t want to go to a massive club especially coming out of Jamaica, it would shine more light. Its noth about other players, its about him, he even says "especially being who i am" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about everything else he said in follow up and how he ended the answer? Anyway I'm just happy he is playing well right now, because if he wasn't this would be convoluted even worse than it is now. I think it was a smart and generic answer. Again, it would be stupid of him to say " Yes I would accept an offer from Chelsea right now " or " No I wouldn't accept an offer from Chelsea " I know what we want to hear when a player is playing well is " Yes I'm Villa through and through.. and want to be here until I stop performing and ppl offer to drive me to the airport for free again " etc The interviewer was really trying to coax this out of him.

Fair enough. I disagree with you but thats the way it is sometimes. In my opinion, he could have said "No i wouldn't accept an offer from Chelsea right now" (key difference between what options you gave me), which would have been a far better answer as it always leaves the door open should he ever need it but it makes us lot feel far better. No need for him to say "Yes I'm Villa through and through.." etc as you've put. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
