    yeah, what excitement eh, the announcement of a free signing on a short term contract. Can't wait.

    He's 38 now, so I doubt it! :wink:

    You mean the frisson of playing Rochdale isn't enough.

    I suspect that this will be the only time I see the words "frisson" and "Rochdale" together...ever!! :wink:

    I can picture it now - We are 2-0 down at halftime and Leon Best is hit by a rogue crossbar challenge attempted - out for the season

    No, Who's in goal
  • Will definitely sign tomorrow

    Yeah for Wigan with the Statement saying: "We'd like to thank Charlton for getting him match fit"
  • If they aren't gonna sign him for tonight with our lack of options on the bench then I can't see them signing him at all unless Mag gets injured.

    Think they're trying to hold out until Jan to see if we can get a better/more long term option in. Best is only a worst case if we have an injury.

    If he does sign he might only play a couple times before Jan when we (hopefully) sign someone else and suddenly he's surplus.

    I'm beginning to think we should take your posts with a pinch of salt.

    I imagine the problem signing Best is we play 4-5-1, he isn't going to be 1st choice and he wants games after a spell out.

    Can't tell you my source but I hear we have a few bits to do with Best

    He's hardly in a great position himself after being out for so long. He needs to prove himself and earn a place in a side.

    Which young player(s) could he be talking about? Someone new or just giving RHF more chances?

    Well we have a Checkatrade trophy match coming up, what more can a player want!

    “First and foremost we’re worrying about the players that are at the football club and seeing what we have. Seeing if we have something in the youth team to promote."

    In playing style, Best is a ready made replacement for Magennis within the favoured 4-2-3-1 formation.

    Robinson knows we've had no youngster to promote or that player would have made his mark already - especially with Magennis running himself into the ground a few weeks ago and needing resting.


    Seems to me that the club, if they can avoid it, don't really want to spend any money on Best right now.
    But Robinson won't want to go into the Christmas matches with no cover for Magennis.

    The Club under RD won't want to spend any money full stop. If he's still around in January expect a couple of sales and the replacements to come from within.

    That was a strange comment. We don't have a target man centre forward waiting in the academy, itching to step up, indeed that's probably the one position where the academy hasn't really delivered, when you contrast the number of quality defenders we've produced

    Maybe he's waiting for the takeover to go through...

    Sounds like a negotiating stance comment to me

    Could be talking about Umerah and Hanlan again
