Milan djurichimovic Posted August 23, 2017 Posted August 23, 2017 West Brom striker I'm not in the know but just someone who LJ mentioned to a mate of mine as someone he was intrested in and he only really wants players 24
Milan djurichimovic Posted August 23, 2017 Author Posted August 23, 2017 After a few bevvys in browns got chatting and told him was looking at West Brom striker called leko done a quick google and he popped up thought I would share the info
brizzlelou Posted August 23, 2017 Posted August 23, 2017 Jonothan Leko. LW isn't he? Other than loaning him once on Fifa 17 I've no idea about his quality sorry.
Gillies Downs Leeds Posted August 23, 2017 Posted August 23, 2017 There was a poster that used to mention him every transfer window on here.
RedorDead BCFC Posted August 23, 2017 Posted August 23, 2017 He's 18, so might be one for the future.

Dynamite Red Posted August 23, 2017 Posted August 23, 2017 Highly rated so would be a loan I guess if true.
RedRoss Posted August 23, 2017 Posted August 23, 2017 No disrespect to the OP for sharing but I don't think this will happen. I doubt LJ would casually drop his next transfer target whilst having a few with a randomer in Brown's.
The Dolman Pragmatist Posted August 23, 2017 Posted August 23, 2017 He's a good player. Have family who support West Brom and Leko is very highly rated.
Fordy62 Posted August 23, 2017 Posted August 23, 2017 Ditto the above. Very highly rated. Isn't he a relation of Didier Drogba?* *i may have made that up. Not sure.

I had to stop going to Brown's as it was getting embarrassing, LJ just couldn't help himself telling me about all the signings he was going to make. "How are you?" He'd ask, "I'm good thanks Lee, a little hungry after a long day" I'd reply. "Oh, famished then?" He'd quip, quickly followed by "that's funny, as I'm looking at a Sengalese international who plays for Angers, and his first name is Famara" and so it would go on.......

So what did Lee say to you about a potential loan signing from the Midlands when you bumped into him in the toy shop looking for plastic Danish building blocks?
The Nest Egg Posted August 23, 2017 Posted August 23, 2017 My best friend is a baggie and he seriously rates Leko. Still young but very technical and has held his own in Prem games. I went to see them at The Hawthorns and was really impressed by the atmosphere, and even more surprisingly the football was impressive too!
Vespa Red Posted August 23, 2017 Posted August 23, 2017 And called Jonathan. Every club needs a Jonathan.
Harry Posted August 23, 2017 Posted August 23, 2017 LJ was out in Park Street on Saturday night and spoke a number of fans. He was actually very open in a lot of what he said. Whether he talked about Leko to this chap I don't know, but he was certainly open to talk about anything (and was also apologetic for the performance v Millwall.

Marina's Rolls Royce Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Another winger who can play left or right or up front. No idea about this other than he's reportedly a damn fineplayer with Prem experience, International experience with England and with a point to prove. It's a yes from me.

eastonboy Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 There is no way that is Leko with Lee Johnson in that photograph - I'm pretty sure he is taller
BobBobSuperBob Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Jonathan Leko could be the player to watch for West Brom next season – given the opportunity. The winger has shown in flashes in the first-team previously that he has plenty of ability, even with his tender years. That talent was on show again in the trip to Hong Kong this summer; accompanied by many other starlets, winger Leko stood out with bursts of pace and tricky feet. It has many supporters excited by the prospect of first-team football for Leko at Albion, who have long since desired to have a youngster make the grade in the senior set-up. Well, since Saido Berahino, anyway. Yet like Berahino previously, there’s the chance that a loan deal may be on the cards for the forthcoming season ForTony Pulis couldn’t rule out the potential of a move into the Football League in order to gain useful experience, particularly if he landed the targets he wanted in the window. “I’m disappointed I’ve not been able to [play the youngsters more after achieving safety],” Pulis said in May. “Why? I think the chairman would say £4m worth why. That could add to helping us bring players in for next year. “The kids who have not played this year, if we get players in, will definitely be out on loan and gaining some experience.” Leko is one of a cluster of young players who offer plenty of promise for the long-term future Sam Field, Kane Wilson and Tyler Roberts have also tasted first-team football while Rekeem Harper is making waves too. But their age shouldn’t be a deterrant – as the old adage goes, if you’re good enough then you’re old enough. Leko, still only 18, has provided glimpses in the past that he is capable of making the step up. His full debut against West Ham had many questioning how far the Congo-born teen could go.West Bromwich Albion's Jonathan Leko (left) and Manchester City's Sergio Aguero In that instance, as far as the by-line on a number of occasions, making light work of a very talented left-back in Aaron Cresswell. His wonderful solo dribble eventually teed up Salomon Rondon in the 1-1 draw with Liverpool on the final game of the season and in many ways the end of that campaign perhaps came at the wrong time for Leko, just as he was making his mark. The wide-man’s best moment in the recently ended season was perhaps his last-gasp assist from a corner as Rondon equalised at Stoke. It hasn’t all been plain sailing, though; his loss of possession to Andros Townsend (albeit in his own half) in the defeat to Crystal Palace last season sealed the Baggies’ defeat that day. There have been instances where naivety has been evident. On the whole, though, Leko has produced moments that have seen The Hawthorns collectively rise from their seats. http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/west-brom-feature-jonathan-leko-13420630
BobBobSuperBob Posted August 26, 2017 Posted August 26, 2017 Yet like Berahino previously, there’s the chance that a loan deal may be on the cards for the forthcoming season ForTony Pulis couldn’t rule out the potential of a move into the Football League in order to gain useful experience, particularly if he landed the targets he wanted in the window. Having signed Burke - Leko probably available So this may have legs - as far as I can see he's another of what we've got , albeit a good young player

Phileas Fogg Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 Wow! What a coup. Awesome signing. Nice surprise for a bank holiday - they sneaked that one in! He'll be fun to watch. Very quick and tricky.
Davefevs Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 In place of Brownhill, Brownhill into centre, when he plays. We've got Eliasson too. Options!
Lrrr Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 Assume we'll go Leko.....Brownhill....Pack.....Paterson
Globe Trotter Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 1 minute ago, hodge said: Assume we'll go Leko.....Brownhill....Pack.....Paterson Hope so with Pack and Smith rotating as required
Agard Days Night Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 Lots of options on the wings and up top now. Just need to add an enforcer in the middle.
Lrrr Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 1 minute ago, tommy32 said: Hope so with Pack and Smith rotating as required I expect Pack will be preferred, most our moves out from the back start with him.
You Do The Dziekanowski Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 Leko, Elliason, Odowda, Pato. Got some depth behind the strikers now, can include brownhill and Bryan on that list as well (based on Kelly playing LB) can be a real game changer which is refreshing to see. From what I've seen (minimal) he's like sproule with an end product
Phileas Fogg Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 Oldish video but shows what's he's about. With him and Eliasson it's good to see we've got some genuine width, pace and skill on the wings if we require it. Always was so disappointed we barely got to see Adomah and Bolasie together..

Esmond Million's Bung Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 Looks like a great signing to the squad and well done for the second season in bringing in one of the prems great young talents. OK LJ now just the little matter of the 2nd season of an unfit for purpose midfield, we need an organiser who knows what he is doing, Smith and Pack whinge and whine a lot during games but neither can organise, neither have discipline to hold their line, pick up runners or pass players on and neither create enough, our current midfield contributed a grand total of 7 assists last season boosted by Patterson's 4 and so far this season only Brownhill has an assist to his name, of course Matt Taylor had 5 assists last season in 15 games maybe LJ sees him other than a striker perhaps?. Even so still need an organiser urgently.

He is still young of course but I think he has the potential to become the type of midfielder we are crying out for. Of course the question is whether he can do so yet but it may be trying him is the best way to find out...
southvillekiddy Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 How big is this new bloke. Can he defend? Would be a great signing if he can do that as well as attack and good to see Tiny P doing us a favour. Plus it gives the opportunity for Brownhill to be in the middle. Like the way he comes forward with an eye for goal. Maybe now we'll get more goals from midfield. Brilliant. Just checked on the WBA website and Leko is 6 foot 1 Links with DR Congo ring any bells for the people on here? Looks like as well as being big, fast and skilful he's also got something about him like another Mr. L ...................

Lew-T Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 Great addition. I just hope this doesn't leave us too open down the flanks what with Eliasson now at our disposal! Certainly a headache for LJ to deal with.

Out of all of our central midfield options Brownhill although probably is the most talented IMO is also the most ill disciplined in terms of positioning etc., he tries to be to clever at the wrong times for me, him and a proper midfield organiser who can make sure that our midfield keep it's shape at all times and directs and bullies his fellow midfielders is totally what we need IMO.
WRERE Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 Great signing. Hopefully he plays on the right instead of Brownhill as he doesn't look natural there. Would like to see Brownhill and Pack in the middle with Leko on the right.

ZiderEyed Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 6 foot then. If he can jump we might have a bit of a threat on our hands. Bobby in behind, someone big on the flanks to win flick ons. Exciting signing this.

Just a worry we don't leave Bryan and Pisano isolated when on the back foot. Just being cautious here on my part! Exciting signing nonetheless.
