According to telegraph Leon a major doubt ( there's a surprise) so Presley prepared to play 17 year old rookie..edit he's only 16

What about that Slager fella?
I must admit, not prejudging him ... but seriously to blood a striker in that's this age for such a crucial match is crazy. Don't get me wrong I believe in Pressley and I also believe he's not really placed a foot wrong since arriving, but this is desperacy surely. Leon is either going ... in which case we should, as shmmeee is saying get a replacement, or he's not ... but let's be honest, no one believes he is actually injured. And yes, I did see him get treatment on Friday night, but still not convinced.
I guess you are right Nick but it shouldn't be this situation. Harwood went to hartlepool and Marlon King is a free agent. Not great but much better and goals in them than 16 year old kids in year 11 at school surely?
That's investment for you and backing Pressley!
I don't get this Denzel and Urquart situation, why bother signing them and then playing 16 year olds in front of them? I understand that they might not be ready, but is it a good sign that our home bred 16 year olds are better?
Pressley has now said Dagnall didn't sign because we weren't willing to offer him a longer contract. He signed an 18 month deal with Leyton Orient.
Wages though?
Fair point but if Hartlepool can afford
him? and king is on no money at the moment he is unemployed so surely a half decent contract would tempt him. Both not the worlds best but 16-18 year olds are not good enough with no experience.
So do you really think harewood and king would come in and play how SP wants them to play ???
Can you really see them pressing the opposition defence ???

Yes as they are being paid and both are professionals with a lot of experience. Of course they would. Not saying this 16 year old wouldn't of course he would but quality would lack.
So for example Rooney lacked quality at 16, Harewood and King chasing down, I have heard some things in my life but jeez this one is funny, both lazy as fuck and injury prone...
Rooney is a one off and its just not the same situation. "both lazy as fuck and injury prone" both also quality strikers in their day and a stop gap till the summer than a 16 year old who has never played a minute. OK mate.
End of thread. Their day was very short and ended a long long time ago.
No mention of him ... But as they say if your good enough your old enough..
