    No it doesnt

    Whether Leon can replace Howard is a point of much debate

    What is less of a debate is playing the 2 together in midfield. I think most of us would agree this isnt really a good idea.

    Leons best games last season came when Howard was out and he did replace him

    Leon and Da Silva may well be a good partnership in the way Howard and Da Silva was

    Leon and Howard isnt

    good call....leon & howard too similar would only play those two together with De Silva/Colace in 3-5-2 formation

    If & when Howard leaves then Leon is a ready made replacement

    what it proved was that they can't play in the middle together........ a la gerard & lampard

    both are to similar and like to attack, without defensive minded player in middle of the park we get over run.

    Now I'm getting worried....

    People are beginnig to say what I've been thinking for months.

    Cast your mind back to when we beat Charlton 3-0 at the end of Last Season. Now I may be wrong (and probably am) but from where I was sitting it looked as if the rest of the team had accepted that Bri was off and decided to play without him. Howard was being bypassed and Leon had one of his best games of the season. However, now it looks as if Howard's here to stay my guess is that Leon wil be sacrificed as soon as de Silva's fit again.

    Mother, can I have my Tin Hat please!! (seestars)
