Hoskins is a class act. I think he will be a big player for you this season. CMS and Hoskins will really be a handful together!

Cheers mate, much appreciated. You're spot on with what you say. Hard work and the right mental attitude will see Leon through, its been very tough on him but he has thoroughly enjoyed his time with BHA and i think he was upset at not being able to grace your fantastic new stadium. He's in a...

if there are any developments ill keep you all updated. Ive really enjoyed my time on this board, and BHAFC are now my second team so ill definitely keep visiting. I cant stress enough how lucky you are to have such a great manager and players. Last season Cardiff fell apart because of the poor...

cheers guys, thanks for all of the support and kind words. To be honest i dont have a clue who the players are but im led to believe that at least one of them is a winger. Youre really going for it this summer and think you have the makings of an exciting team. Buckley and Hoskins look great in...

Afternoon chaps, unfortunately, as you have heard, Leon's time with you is now over. The club are close to 2 new signings, and with Leon battling to be fully fit, it was going to be a big ask for him to break into the team. After discussing the situation with the manager it was decided that at...

Ha ha I love Trading Places! It's certainly an unusual situation and you're right to wonder whether Leon will mentally be up for the challenge. A few years ago there would have been no chance but over the last 12 months he has been very fostered and determined. Personally I feel he has matured...

Easy - I've never said it will be easy, or that he will definitely do it! I've just said he was once heralded as a star player in the making and after 8 years away he has been offered a chance to resurrect his career with you! It is all up to how he performs in training now! Ive been quite...

There are other triallists at training but they are young and you will not have heard of them! I won't reveal anymore about them as the club obviously want to keep it under wraps and it is not fair to discuss it any further!

Laughing bluebird - when this came about the staff were not all on holiday and some very influential people at the club were prepared to make sure he was given the chance to do pre season! The very kind offer was politely declined before it got much further because Leon wanted a new start in a...

Thunder Bolt - leon has been told that if he impresses he will be offered a contract. He is training hard everyday and like the other trialists hoping to impress so that he is kept on.

Laughing bluebird - this is embarrassing ! Roger works for the club, he knows the board and coaching staff who were at that time still employed by Cardiff! Leon was told if he wanted to it could be arranged but as Brighton had already offered him a trial he decided to go there! In the last 6...

I understand why people want to know who I am but please for now let me continue to be anonymous. Leon is mixing very well. The Brighton players have made him very welcome and as they are aware of his situation they are really encouraging him. You're lucky to have such a great group! Cardiff...

I don't want to deceive anyone but there are reasons for keeping my identity to myself for now. As long as people enjoy the updates, and they are not detrimental, then im happy to continue but for now my identity has little relevance to the story. Everything I have said on the subject so far has...

who I am has no real relevance to this story. Leon had a lot of potential, he blew it, 8 years on he is getting a second chance and i am keeping you updated as best I can. There are reasons for keeping my identity guarded for now but all will be revealed in due course. I enjoy coming on this...

anyone can get fit but not everyone has the talent so it is hoped that he can show enough to Gus to justify being kept on for longer so that he can get fit. I would estimate that in order to be championship fit he would need to lose another 1.5 stone. He has lost 4 stone already so he is...

As for how Leon is currently shaping up he is working very hard on his fitness. It is not a surprise that he is nowhere near the level of fitness of the other players at this point but he is hoping that within 6 weeks he will be a lot closer than he is now. When the balls have come out Leon has...

As for who recommened that Leon spend pre season with Cardiff City, it was Roger Gibbins, who after playing in a recent charity game with Leon was so impressed that he told Leon he would speak to the club to try and sort something out! As for my assertion that a lot of Cardiff City fans think...

These are just a handful of the many articles written about Leon's potential!!! I cant believe Laughing Bluebird is even trying to dispute this! There are many Cardiff and Qpr fans who dont like Leon for what happened off the pitch, and that is fine, but all of them agree that he was immensley...
