Brooker on a free

Brooker on a free

I know Leicester were going to release him - but this report says he'll be on a free. IF we're in the 1st div next season, should we get him back?

 

[Turkey]

Yes. Will he want to come back though?

 

[Storer68]

oooh yes please......

can we have his other partner in crime as well

 

[Uncle Buck]

Not after he's spent 2 months at Reading.


Yorkie said that he needs Zamora to shine though.

Not sure I follow as to why he needs Zamora to shine. Granted they worked well together, but his job was to create chances for the strikers and at the time that happened to be Bobby. However if he came back I would have thought his crossing would make Iwelumo look more effective. Also in the 2 championship seasons a number of Zamora's goals were created by Watson, who then proceeded to overnight lose all footballing ability he once had.

 

[tinx]

Brooker won't come back, its a pride thing.

 

[Seagull73]

Would McGhee want him as well?

 

[Marshy]

We couldnt afford him now !

 

[Titanic]

I'd love to see him back, but I'm not sure he quite fits with Mark McGhee's work ethic!

nor does Knight...

 

[Pavilionaire]

Is he better than what we've got?

Sure, Brooker is good going forward but would not offer the protection to the inexperienced Harding that Jones provides.

A Brooker / Harding left side in Div 1 would be carnage.

 

[Titanic]

nor does Knight...

Sorry, but that's rubbish - since MM gave him the gee up earlier this season, Leon has been battling away and tackling back like a good 'un! (well, at least sometimes )

 

[METALMICKY]

NWatson, who then proceeded to overnight lose all footballing ability he once had.

I've yet to hear a reasonable explanation as to this sad fact. We always knew he's struggle defensively in Div 1 but where has all his dead ball skill gone?

The free kick at Port Vale, XXX no. of times quick free kick with Bobby ghosting in to head home...........marvellous old scenes

 

[Uncle Buck]

I agree, Knight has improved, but on an argument about players with a work ethic that McGhee favours, Leon does not fall into that category.

If we got the chance to resign Bozz then I would take it. He would offer us some creativity that has been missing this season. Sure he would not protect Harding as well as Jones may, but going forward he would give us another option. If we go up we need to improve the quality of the squad and he will do that. Also he is the player we have really missed this season.

 

[Marshy]

we couldnt afford his wages i meant !

 

[Pavilionaire]

Micky clearly doesn't think Brooker will do a decent job in Div 1 at, for Leicester, modest wages.

He hasn't been pulling up trees for Reading either.

A luxury player.

I never had MA down for sentiment and doing people favours but his signing of Brooker always bemused me. He's light years of Premiership class and even Div 1 he was luxury and just far too inconsistent. I think MA just sifned him and said enjoy the Prem wages for a year then off you go pal.

To me it looked like a signing for when Leicester returned to the nationwide, so letting him go is odd. Maybe the finances are still a mess up there. Maybe they will get the 10 point deduction this time…

 

[Titanic]

Now Junior Lewis is a different kettle of fish - I'd definitely be interested in seeing him return to the Albion!

 

[Storer68]

Brooker looked a little lazy when he playerd for us.
Does he fit better into a counter-attacking team?

No, but he DOES need a QUALITY forward to convert all thos marvellous chances.

And as there isn't one of those at Reading, that's why he's looked a little "lazy".

 

[Lush]

As I've said before, Brooker was signed by Mickey as Bobby Bait.

It didn't work.

He is now surplus to requirements.
