WITH Coventry City in the process of offering Leon Best an improved contract, it's time for the Sky Blues to give him a deadline.

Along with the offer, the Republic of Ireland striker should be told: "Sign by Christmas or we will look to move you on in the January transfer window."

If Leon wishes not to sign that is his prerogative but he should have the decency to accept a move away in the transfer window, in the same way Jay Tabb did, and earn City a transfer fee in the process.


In the two and a half seasons he has been here, Best has had one good season in total.

Starting with the second half of last season and the season to date, Best has found his confidence and shooting boots.

If you look at the statistics, 17 goals in 80 games is not a great return.

Eight in 15 starts this season is why other clubs are sniffing around.


obviously playing for a improved contract, done naff all in nearly 2 & half years, then all of a sudden he's banging them in left right & centre!

now, who do we know like that!!! Aggy comes to mind if you ask me & he bagged a 4 & a half year contract :devil: nah i'd rather have a proven goalscorer thanks

Simpson needs some support, badly.

Best seems to have found form this season, but up until then....??
I suppose because of his contract running out, he wouldn't cost the Earth.

i think it'd be a good investment

Why would he be a good investment when we are pushing for the play-off's and hopefully the premier League ? Maybe he would be an option if we were in league one, looking to get into the Championship.

If he is not good enough for the premier league, why sign him as he will be a drain on resources.

investment you say! are we a frigging bank then ha ha ha

let me ask you, who do you think would put more bums on seats.....

Best or Beckford, now don't do a Pete & bodyswerve the question ;D;D;D

[ScottJones]

Beckford! 101%

But i think best could be a good investment, he's only young, is hitting some form and could be good for the promotion charge

[paulmason]

The only reason Best is an option is he is free and Beckford is not an option because he will cost money.

spot on & we all know we dont do "SPEND" ;D

And where was Simpson ever prolific? Strikers can find their scoring boots later in their career. Both Simpson and Best have done so this season.

Because we shop in the charity shops, that is why we will never really challenge the top 2.

Another is Matty Fryatt. Shocking strike rate at this level when Leicester were relegated. Blinding season in League One last year and showing great form this year. Luis Sahar took time to become clinical and is now an establised Prem player. Do we ever give players a chance before saying they're not good enough?

Agreed :boss:

So his record is not to dissimilar to Agyemang apart from one purple patch.

Has Best found form which he can sustain or will he turn out to be like Pat?
