    Class player, but he's been virtually our only creative force for the past month or so. His job has been made even more difficult with the absence of Stockley and Washington. Needs a rest, but hope we sign him permanently.

    I’d like to see us try him up front now - he’s played there a couple of times before and can’t be any worse than Leko has been recently.

    Another one who has experience playing in a front two at a former club is DJ…

    Lee and DJ up front might not be a bad surprise duo for these next couple of home games.

    IMO needs to drop some weight and get fitter. There's a player there. Also needs to not attempt anymore overhead kicks.

    Agreed

    He's played up front for Luton before, indeed he's more comfortable there than as part of a midfield 3

    Lee and Dj uptop as the front two will give me nightmares

    Can it be worse than recent Leko performances? 

    I’m not opposed to keeping Burstow in the team at all. I think he was better at Wigan than many gave credit and his instinct for the ball in the penalty area will mean he grabs goals even when he’s not “on form” so to speak. 

    Just suggesting a couple of alternatives to the three options of Leko, Burstow and a young Kanu.

    No objection to Lee playing up front in the circumstances however I would be gutted if we signed him to play up front. 

    I wouldn't sign Lee, for no other reason that he is a 10 and can sort of do a job in other positions.  I don't think we will plan to play with a 10 going foward, not with Fraser and Dobson.

    It's an alright shout, i know you wern't suggesting those two together. Burstow with Lee just behind maybe.

    For the paying customer, it wouldn't be a nice surprise 😂

    Shame how it went in the end for both Elliot and the Club. Was expected to be a perfect fit.

    Was he the victim of the change in system, or forwards being out injured, or simply couldn't mix up his play and deliver consistently for an entire season?

    Or was it all the fan singing that got him excitable in front of the goal?!

    No thanks. Would be accepting mediocrity if we signed him

    I think he’s slightly better than mediocre but I still wouldn’t sign him . It’s. Sideways move

    Previously proven he’s better than mediocrity. As a squad player I’d take him but we already have a few of them in midfield and do need better.

    yh was absolutely gutted he didn’t produce at the end but maybe he would be better in a different formation who knows?

    No thanks. When you are given the chance to try before you buy you shouldn’t buy if what you try turns out to be rubbish!

    No thanks .  He was dire from February onwards; Gilbey got a lot of stick and rightly
    so but Lee was as bad

    If Jackson was still in charge we probably would have. Not now.

    Not really sure where Lee will end up - mid table league 1 feels about right to me (yes, I know where we finished...)

    Morgan  Gilbey  Lee  Leco. 
    The perfect 4 if you want to finish bottom half of league one.

    Will probably burn quite a lot of your budget too.

    He would be a good signing for Jacko at Afc or maybe joining his brother at Gills.

    I am not suggesting we sign him but we never played him in his position did we.  Even his dad said so on CATV.

    After about 3 games I’d have had him in the squad, unfortunately he didn’t continue and do enough to earn a contract , if one was in the offing.

    What was his position then? I'd have thought the attacking one of a midfield three would've suited him.

    His natural position was sitting on the ground after having the ball taken off him.

    It’s a no from me. Squad player at best.

    He played as the attacking one in a 4 or wide in a front 3 for Luton and Oxford.  Not majorly different, but different enough.

    Still wouldn't want him anyway.

    Yes barely any difference at all especially at the tip of a diamond.

    It's a real head scratcher for me where it all went so wrong for Lee. He was pivotal to the team when he played well, he wanted to be at Charlton, had the love of the fans and the manager.
