LEON JEANNE - THE COMEBACK!!!

Wed May 25, 2011 11:18 pm

Many of you on here have followed my posts in recent months on Leon Jeannes comeback! I'm delighted to say that I tonight spoke to Gus Poyet and Gus is so impressed by Leons form and fitness that he has invited Leon to spend the summer with Brighton! This is a remarkable turn around for Leon but a just reward for his incredible efforts this year, I've never seen anyone work so hard for something and we can only hope he now finally realizes his enormous potential! Better late than never!! All messages of support on here will ve read to Leon, it gives him a huge buzz to know people still remember him and are rooting for him, and who knows , he could even play against Cardiff city next season if all goes to plan!

I'm buzzing right now mate! What an incredible opportunity for him to prove he's still got it! Cardiff city themselves could do a lot worse than have a look!

I wouldn't want him here. He had his chance and messed it up. BUT if he has been working hard, then good luck to him and I hope Brighton or another league side pick him up :ayatollah:

He was a huge talent fair play.

Ah, that's ok then.

Will he repay the money the club spent on his rehab stints?

No?

The guy was dumb -D-U-M-B - enough to believe that by providing a sample of tap water that no drugs test would possibly ever find out it was't actually urine.

Back at City? Never, ever please.

If thats true, does that mean we should resign Bywater and Samuel?

I loved leon as a player. Nore talented than Ernie at the time. I was gonna name my child after him if it was a boy, leon john ! As it was luckily I had a girl. Ill never forget watching him for the 1st time up in merthyr in a friendly. Total class he looked. Then his caeer dropped quicker than a stone in water. Next I hear he was playing for measteg park ! Iv really enjoyed reading your reports on him jimbo, really wish him all the best. My daughters 9 now so its been a long time since many of us seen him play

Best thing for him to do would be to get out of the Cardiff area away from his hangers on and bad influences.
Good luck to him :ayatollah: :ayatollah:
