Leonard's gone

[MK Shrimper]

And that was back when $6m was considered a lot of money.

You know we pay you too much, right? :stunned:

 

[OldBlueLady]

Or a Terry Nicholl who was in the Chris Guthrie deal years ago .

One of my all time favourite players - who I was in touch with recently over the Alan Moody presentation :smile:

Lenny's got a bad back from carrying our team for the past few years :winking:

Oooooo, harsh! Only this season really!

My guess is that Sheffield United are making sure they are not buying two footballers welded together like many other Essex exports.

You might be on to something, here.

If we could weld some of our squad players together, we could have a mighty fine team.

Turner & Kyps could give us experience and pace all in one.

Demi & JW would give us quality going forward and nous at the back.

Macca & Kites would give us a two footed wing option.

It would be just our luck to get another Steve Hatter, another Andy Dixon and another Gordon Connelly though.

Anyway Kites can use both feet already.

ha ha Andy Dixon my old manager, was a clown and still is one:hilarious:

Signing officially announced. 3 1/2 year contract,

 

[bazzashrimper]

As much as it’s been a foregone conclusion for a while now, it’s never nice when it becomes a reality.

All the best Ryan!

Undisclosed but £700,000, possibly.

 

[NZamba Legend]

As one door closes... Right, let's get a clapped out, injury prone one-time Championship player on big wages in to replace him.

 

[RHB]

Bye Ryan and thanks for all the pleasure you gave us. Play nicely with them Northern Monkeys, their supporters are expecting a lot from you, don't disappoint them.

He be there for six months then get loaned out

 

[AndyT]

Yep, I know that.

You can't weld players together, either! :winking:

 

[Richard Hearn]

You are Robert Newton and I claim my 5 pieces of eight.

 

[AndyT]

... LOL :smile:

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

I know he reads stuff on here for now, so here goes.
The very best of luck Ryan for the rest of your footballing career. You are not only a fantastic player, but also a great professional on and off the pitch. You tried your best even tho you wanted a move ages ago. Other players have downed tools lately, especially away from home, but not you, never. Thanks for all you did for our club. We shall miss those long runs with the ball when you purred into top gear like a Rolls Royce. And of course, those goal saving tackles when giving the striker a good head start. You were too good for our club and I don't think anyone begrudges you the move. You gave it best. You will be playing with and against better players, so you will get even better. Cheers Ryan Leonard, a Southend United legend.

No, he's no Jack Payne. I firmly believe he is more than capable of playing at Championship level quite comfortably.

Does he? :omg:

:hilarious: Brilliant!

 

[Fairport]

The best player I've seen for recovery tackles. He could give someone a five yard start and still get in a winning tackle without giving a free kick away. Good luck at the other SUFC.
