why do we hate leon legge?

[longway2go]

why do we hate leon legge? i dont understand. he's popular and decided against bein in a team close to him. no one really knows why he chose lewes except him. i think he's a a good dedicated player. maybe wilson didnt do enough to sign him. heres his chance. he scores goals, he's dominant both aerally and physically. whats so bad bout havin a plyer like that. bet he'd get good references from players like acko and lovett

I can think of one reason.

Leon Legge? Never heard of him. What position would he play?

[sportspool]

Defender/midfielder I believe.

[seano]

I doubt if we shall need him then, we seem to have a full quota!

whether we're still in BSSouth or Premier, Leon Legge should be someone we look at as a potential signing IMO. I believe that we didn't sign him, before Lewes, as we offered a low fee - £95 IRO. Lewes offered a three figure fee.
He is young, with a lot of football in him. Our squad is gettting a little old at the back. He is a big Centre Half and a makeshift Centre Forward due to his ability to get on the end of crosses and score goals as impact striker. He's got an attitude on him that King let go IMO but Garry Wilson should be able to channel / control. And the biggest attribute is, he's local. Now that is worth its weight in gold. He was also looked at by League sides. He's no better or worse than what we've got. Atkin, N Crabb and others have come from County League and have been made to into BS SOuth ability players. Leon Legge has already become a BSSOuth quality player, and even managed to get in to the huge budget first team, from time to time, at Lewes. That in itself is impressive. And no!! I am not his dad.

Presumably if we had the pick of the Lewes Centre Halfs we'd go for Robinson. IMO the best in the league by a mile. As for Legge he couldn't get a game last season and wouldn't be first choice at Boro. He's a good athlete and brilliant if you keep launching the ball up in the air but he's too easy to turn if you get a quick centre forward standing up to him. He had a league trial last season and was really found wanting. People keep saying he's only young well 22 is not that young. He should have really made more of a mark than he has by now. If G & N think they can improve on him then know doubt they will give him a go. I think he is overated.

Because he had a hissy fit after we beat Lewes 7-2, he got sent off and decided to do a bit of damage to the away dressing room door!

Spot on Robinson is far and away the best of the Lewes central defenders. Legge is ok, but that's about it, and was really only in the starting XI when Simpemba was suspended or injured.

What is your problem eastbourneyouth? Every time you come on here its to tell people what they should and shouldn't be discussing.

This is a valid discussion about a possible addition to the squad, not one I or you want, but someone posed the question.

As I've said before if you don't like a thread don't read it, it's not that difficult.

[longway2go]

thats gotta be rubbish bout him chasing boro fans on a train. thats one of the silliest things i've ever heard. no one would do taht unless provoked and i've seen him when playin against us and its only a section of fans who start with the chanting. you lot know who you are. the ones that wouldnt say a thing if they did see him. the supporters who think there supporters when really they are muppets who cant handle there drink. lol. if legge did sign for us he'd probably do well and bet you then you'd change your mind and be ok with him! wound up now so going to leave it as that

[jay]

i remember when he was shouting and swearing at a boro fan on the ssc final against horsham at the lane and he got sent off for it.

he was saying "you me one on one" to the boro fans.

i mean come on we were not even playin them.

"longway2go" he did chase chase boro fans on to the trian!!

[Knighty]

No use having him anyway hell be suspended most of the time lol.

[longway2go]

if you look at his disciplinary record you will see he's bin sent off less than the two other central defenders. who are these supporters he has chased then. funny how they aint got names.
