Xiled Posted September 16, 2017 Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 Can anyone explain to me why Tony Pulis allowed us to loan Jonathan Leko for the season? For a man who has never had a decent word to say about Bristol City (even when we were paying his wages) I would have thought there were more palatable options to further Leko's development. Delighted to have this lad on our books as he could really carry on where Abraham left off. Was there an undisclosed agreement that might have seen Flint heading off to West Brom? What happens in January? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe jordans teeth Posted September 16, 2017 Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 As much as I dislike pulis for his time here he has said good things about city in the past,he knows leko wouldn't be any good in any team of his because the lad likes the ball on the floor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robin_unreliant Posted September 16, 2017 Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 I have been unconvinced largely by LJ but after Tammy he picks what looks like another gem. Beginning to think his judgement of players is better than I'd realised. Well done on an exciting loan Lee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazooka Joe Posted September 16, 2017 Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 Take no notice of them Pulis - Leko's just an average player. Worth no more than £100k. Deal or no deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my time, the best two strikers since Dennis Smith brought Andy Cole to the gate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yardy Posted September 16, 2017 Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 He is going to give defenders nightmares this season, impossible to play against sometimes. Excited to have him here, by the looks of him so far he is a special talent....thx Pulis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoxton casual Posted September 16, 2017 Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 I am sure it was the Director of Football who made the decision once Pulis said he wanted to loan him out. its close to them so he can go back regularly, we have great pitches for training and playing and a good medical/physio staff. Well done LJ and MA. bloody inspired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodridgeandGoater Posted September 16, 2017 Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 Leko's dribbling is insane. Not seen that kind of raw talent on the ball since Bolasie. Work to do on end product and defensive game but what a guy to have in the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's an area he needs to work on, having seen it back he approaches it as if he's already scored, put a natural finisher (Bobby Reid...) in that position and they would've buried it with power and accuracy. With game time he'll develop into a wonderful player! England 2020 Euros could have Abraham and Leko linking up..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tts_city Posted September 16, 2017 Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 I honestly dont know why he isnt playing for wba rather than loaned to us (im not complaining mind), who do they have on the wing at west brom atm, Ronaldo ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marina's Rolls Royce Posted September 16, 2017 Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 I'm sorry but I really don't get this 'thanks to Pulis' nonsense. Thanks to BCFC for giving Leko a route to greatness at WBA without having to play largely meaningless matches in the reserves. There is no doubt that LJ and his team will ensure Leko is developed and enhanced and sent back a better and more experienced player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvio Dante Posted September 16, 2017 Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 The most impressive thing for me is how he doesn't touch the ball. A lot of times today, the balls at his feet. Based on pure body movement or foot movement he left players on their arses. I think the pen may have been even have been one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry I still think he's a total n*b. Just surprised he was prepared to send a talented player to City. I've no problem with us getting a reputation for developing players but as has been said above, can't understand why Leko isn't worth a starting place for WBA. If I was a Baggies fan, I'd be pretty gutted to lose this player for a whole season Damn, his feet are quick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Rob Posted September 16, 2017 Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 Pulis - dogs egg of a bloke, not least when he was our manager. Pulis - sensible manager who is probably on commission for the resale of developed players. Doesn't he owe Palace the best part of several coins?

old_eastender Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 Leko is certainly something special, from what I have read his attitude went a bit wrong after he first broke onto the scene at WBA. However, cannot fault his application for us, if he gets a bit fitter too, he could be a really stand-out player. I believe we have him for the season with no January recall option, if so fantastic news for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
