I'd have lent him the caravan if he'd have asked

I see Leon has jetted off on holidays on a private jet judging from his IG post a day or so ago. Now I don't begrudge anyone having a break and getting away from it all but has Leon played 90 minutes this season? 60 even? 45 anyone?

Imagine having a job where if you're off sick for a while, you then get publicly scrutinised about taking a holiday?

Like I said I'm not begrudging anyone a holiday, it's not like he's torn up any trees this season apart from 15 minutes versus Everton so hopefully he's convalescing and getting fit for next season and not rupturing his spleen lifting a heavy cocktail. He's just so bloody frustratingly fragile it seems.

Again I’d caution against writing a player off too quick, especially as he’s barely got on the pitch. Hopefully he’ll have a stable preseason and we’ll see what he’s really about next year - if he’s half the player he was in Germany he’s a hell of a talent.

He may end up being crap or quality. One things for sure though, we ain’t seen enough of him in full fitness. I reckon he was only fit for that first couple of appearances

Needs a good clear pre-season and hopefully then we can see the player we bought.

Well said. He didn't get a pre-season last year and arrived having picked up a hamstring injury playing for Jamaica. I just think he's had a crazy amount of bad luck with injuries. The last injury against Norwich was the result of a bad tackle by their left back. Judge him when he's had a proper pre-season!

This guy won't make it and will inevitably moved on for a loss. Bossed up the German league?

Let's take that absolute imposter of a footballer 'Sancho' on loan next season by that logic. Who's down?

I think i'd still like to see him around next season. Over Traore as well, we've seen the best of Traore in my opinion and it's ok but nothing special. I still think with a bit of luck this guy could be very good, emphasis on the 'could'.

He might not make it - way too early to call it either way. Also I suspect Sancho is a good player - it’s probably not a coincidence that virtually everyone at Man Utd looks awful.

Well, we could do with him coming good as he's the only attacking player we've got with real pace. I love watching both Coutinho and Buendia but think they're both too similarly one paced to play the majority of a season together. There's also no point having two players putting slide rules passes through when your main striker has the first touch of a wrecking ball.
