    It seems Best is attracting a bit of interest from a number of Championship clubs which is good news for him and us.

    Best to Derby seems to be on the cards. A good move for all parties, in my opinion.

    He'd have his work cut out to become a regular starter.

    Dawkins, Sammon, Russell, Martin, Ward are their strikers and I think 3 of them are more forwards/wingers whilst Sammon and Martin are strikers. He's done well in the Championship and PL in limited spurts when afforded a run of games by management and injury. I'd be fairly sure that Best has more PL goals than those 5 combined.

    Martin is very much their main man (25 goals last season) and they tend to go with only one up front. Sammon very rarely started and even Bamford, who had hit the ground running on his loan spell, was generally used off the bench in the latter part of the season. Yeah the wingers don't really come into the equation but they are after signing a nineteen year old striker today also, one for the future though I'd imagine.

    Leon's Best* chance would be for Derby to go with two up front but that would entail dropping either Hendrick or Hughes, which seems unlikely. Who knows though, injuries and so on will play a part as well.

    Fingers crossed he has a good season and gets a solid run of games and goals.

    That must have been the quickest season ever.

    This has even more substance now as he has returned to Blackburn from his 'season long loan'!

    As a matter of interest why has this thread got 5 stars while many others don't even rate a star or are Mrs Best and family busy pressing the rate button?
    Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.

    Ahhh, just noticed it only takes one vote as I experimented with the Kieren Westwood thread.

    For a guy who looked to have goals in him at Newcastle, he seems to get moved along a fair bit.

    reunited with his manager from Newcastle, where he had a good run. Hope Hughton can get the best out of him again (pun sort of intended)
