Giving him that new contract was such a good idea........

Are the Seagulls paying his salary? Hope we are not doing a leeds utd

Good Luck to him, he scored some very important goals for us.

Good luck to you Leo, some great memories. I like Chris Houghton and hope Brighton stay up. Maybe he'll be that difference for them.

 

[LeeCovFox]

He has been a very important player for this club. He was excellent in our first season back in the Premier League and his late goals against Norwich and West Ham were vital in maintaining our momentum towards the title.

However the most important goals for me were those in the 4-0 win against Swansea. I, like many, were nervous about how we would cope without the suspended Vardy and even at that late stage I couldn’t bring myself to believe that we were about to win the league. Vardy’s replacement bagging a brace did a lot to settle me down and leaving that match was the first time I really thought it was going to happen.

He behaved poorly last winter when angling for a move, but I think he deserves to be remembered fondly.

All the best Leo. Farewell.

Shame you didn't get your move earlier and then non of that nonsense would have happened.

 

[Klaus Hergersheimer]

Why are you all talking like he's gone for good? It's only a loan. Nobody will be willing to pay him whatever City currently are. He'll be back for preseason training in July.

 

[Miles Away]

Lenny. That header against United was a pearler. Go and keep Brighton up.

Shut up, and go and check the radiation shields like you're supposed to do!

 

[Ike O'Noclassed]

Good luck, Leo and Brighton!

 

[Graz]

Good luck Leo.

Hope he has a good second half of the season for them. Will make it easier to offload him in the summer!

 

[LES Fox]

“Leo, Leo, Leo” that penalty. Shame he felt compelled to make the comments about never playing for the club again. Yes, he got the contract extension but it taints his foxes’ legacy.

Hope he does well at Brighton.

 

[Brown Nose]

Meh.

Went off him after his uncalled for strop last season and 18 months of his increasingly dire "couldn't care less" performances.

His contribution over his first two years at the club was excellent, some memorable goals and performances. And as much as anything, for his role as friend and supporter of Cambiasso.

If Brighton are relying on his goals, they're fecked.

Have to agree with BN.

And his song! Don't forget the song.
