For the last time,
Imagine this scenario, You support Southend but play football for Northampton Town. Apart from playing one season for Northampton Town you have no other connection with them. Your contract expires. Another club in League 1 comes in for you. They offer you a contract playing football at a higher level on alot more money.
Northampton Town eventually end up offering you a contract but its far lower than the league 1 offer.
You decide to further your career and sign for the league 1 side.
Does this make you a mercenary?
Does this mean you think you can walk on water?
Like hell it does.
Explain to me Technician and Olviss why it is funny to see a player who arguably single handedly kept us up last season with his goals struggling to find form now?

I was looking at a DVD of Leon's goals on Saturday... frankly, it makes the decision to let him go look even more baffling.

I wish him every success at Torquay - he appears to have been treated fairly shoddily by our club, and I took no pleasure whatsoever in seeing him falter at Peterborough.  Hope it works out for him at Plainmoor - he has certainly made a good start to his career there.

Matt,

Taking away the pens that he scored (6 ??) how many of the other 19 or so were tap-ins or what I would class strikers goals (like fredy's 1st 2 against swansea or his goal at Sc**thorpe) I would wager not many. IMHO Leon had a season where everything he hit, went in. Good luck to him but I think Tilly realised that the chances of that happening again were slim, and therfefore he offered him a contract that reflected that.

Personally, I don't regret Leon going. I'll appreciate his goals last year for helping us to stay in the division but that's about it.

PS Looks like I'm going to owe you a beer for our Boston / Oxford bet !!
