Leon Cort

[stevie_G_G_G]

Stoke have just signed him for 1.2 million.

Seems a bit pricey to me for someone who is good in the air but can't kick the ball for sh!t

 

[Uncle Leo]

I wonder if he still has a 50 pence piece for a head?

Quite how either Stoke or Palarse worked out that he's a £1m+ player is a complete mystery. I'd say 500k at the most :p

He scores lots of goals for a defender though.

I still remember fondly the hat-trick of headers he scored in our 4-2 win over Boston...

 

[Plumstix]

Scored again today.

 

[Plumstix]

...and another!!

 

[Ricey]

He is a class player without a shadow of a doubt I really can't understand why Palace got rid of him.

 

[Plumstix]

Another goal for Leon yesterday, that's 7 this season.

I was not at all upset when he left us, but bloody hell he has scored a lot of goals in his career and commanded one hell of a total of transfer fees!!

Shame none of that money came our way!

I'd happily have in back in our defence right now!

I'd be tempted to put in a cheeky offer for Rob Newman to come back in our defence right now!!

:cry: :thump:

I remember the bad old days when we cheered every corner because it meant Rob Newman came forward. It's a sad day when your only goal threat is a central defender...

Newman is under contract at Bournemouth.

I was thinking another of Cort's central defensive partners, Phil Whelan might be worth a phone call. He might not be fit, he might not have been all that in the first place, but at least he knew how to get his toblerone shaped head in the way of crosses. For all his numerous downsides, I think he would be a defensive upgrade at the minute.

He could also send fine looping headers into the wrong net :p ;)

 

[Matt the Shrimp]

Ah, Phil "Chinny" Whelan... you're right, YB, he was good in the air.

He was cr*p at everything else, mind.

:p

:p

was never a whelan fan until he was pushed up front at Swansea on a friday night a bagged a goal, we still lost but IIRC he pulled it back to 3-2 and gave us hope. It was funny seeming him play as a forward.

Looks like he will now be plying his trade in the Premiership with Stoke next season!
