THE CONCRETE ROUNDABOUT (TCR)

Leko was notably absent from the young Dons thing as well on Sunday.

Could be illness of course.

Is Leko one of those players who can't or won't be arsed, or is it something else ?

You need quite a lot of discipline to play in this MW MKD team. And as a forward the ask is to occupy the opposing centre backs by chasing them down and roughing them up a bit. I just don’t think Leko fits the bill anymore for this team. He is too inconsistent, offers little off the ball and in some games has not worked hard enough. It is frustrating as we have seen him have some great games in a Dons shirt where he looks unplayable.

I would love a fit, motivated Leko in the squad to play a Theo corbeneu role for rest of season IE that plan B of pace and direct running / dribbling when we can’t break teams down with our passing. I just dont think he has shown that he can be that reliable plan B , nor I suspect does he want to be a plan B in a mid table league 2 team only a few years after being a million pound footballer in the championship .

Its been discussed in the other thread but, simply, because we risk losing him for nothing in June. So we need to cash in and probably take what we can - even from a 'rival'. We aren't going to get an astronomical fee for him. So anything, even a sell-on clause, is better than nothing.

6 months left on his deal won't get us more than 5 figures unless some club is extremely stupid. The only way I sell to a League 2 club is if the sell on fee is 30%+ and/or a 6 figure fee.

Kemp here for 4/5 months will be more valuable in the long run than a nominal fee and having him play at a league rival.

Things may change if Matt O'Reilly leaves and we get a good wedge. £28m to Newcastle last I saw.

Charlie Kirk is leaving Charlton. I'd love to see him here (maybe Payne can have a word).
He might be aiming higher than us thiugh

Isn't he more of an out and out winger? If so, wouldn't really suit our style.

Ronan Curtis is still without a club.
