Yes, it was a horrible season in which he featured in almost every game.
I know the prospect of being even slightly critical of St. Leon is enough to bring some people out in hives, but blind, unquestioning support is unhealthy. |
I think you'll find the increase in his paypacket at Sheffield was utterly irrelevant. It was all that nasty Portugeezer's fault. |  |

550k is peanuts to a player like Leon in the championship? Ye ok. There is no doubt on this earth that after the season he endured under Sousa Leon wanted out. He did not go for the money although I'm sure he took the best deal available to him.
I'm pretty sure that in his wildest dreams he wouldn't have expected to end up in the premier league when he came back to us. Do you? seriously?
Simple case of an unhappy player leaving and then desperate to come back when it didn't work out. Nothing to do with money. |
Erm...550k isn't all that much considering he would be coming back with a nice new contract. Dont have the details here but I'm assuming it was around 10k pw for 3 years at least, which is around 1.6 million. A nice profit of around 1 million to come back into a team he knew he would fit back into and spend many more years here. That's without any performance bonuses.
Nothing to do with the fact we are now a Prem team.
Anyway, not sure why you're getting too focused on the Leon to Shef utd thing, I was more talking about big teams coming in for our players and our supporters being suprised that they would jump ship. |  |

How can people say 2 starters for a sub etc? Different clubs with different players. If he came here he probably would be a starter and if Ben and corn went to Tottenham they would probably be subs.... |  |

So your saying Leon left for the money then came back for the money? Make your mind up ffs! 
Oh, and I didn't focus on Leon. You did!  |  |

Yes, I am being consistent and saying all players move for money whoever they are, and whether they are coming or going from the Swans. | |

Leon left Swansea for more money and because his comfortable life at Swansea was threatened.
Leon returned to for more money and because his time at Sheffield wasn't working out.
Seems simple enough to me. |  |

Leon left because like many, Dorus as an example ( and Martinez ) felt we had gone as far as we could. And sheff utd at the time would be seen as the bigger club,and yes they paid him more money. But he also paid back his signing on fee when he came back to us. |  |

Ok lets get this right. Leon leaves and gets a £550k signing on fee plus a couple of thousand a week more than he was on with us, it doesn't work out for him so he pays said £550k back to rejoin us at which time we had then decided to offer him more money than he was on at Sheff Utd, knowing he was prepared too pay back over half a million pounds out of his own money to rejoin us? And you think thats simple enough for you ye?
Isn't it more likely he just wanted his career back and therefore wanted to return?
Seems simple enough to me? | |

He came crawling back when the nasty manager at Swansea left. Seems simple enough. | |

This^
But Leon actually left because of Sousa. But in saying that it turned out that he was very lucky indeed that we wanted him back. | |

Paying £550k to come back suggests he did. You rarely see a player paying to join a team. | |

So how did he come back for more money then? 
As I said to mr swerve, you can't have it both ways! The only logical explanation is that he went to Sheff Utd because of the 'nasty manager' (your words). Then gave up his financial gain for doing so in the hope of furthering his career as it didn't work out! To suggest anything other is plainly wrong! | |

Leon wouldn't have moved to Sheff utd for a lower wage.
Leon wouldn't have come back for a lower wage.

As I said earlier your digging a hole. I'm not being funny at all and respect your views but if you honestly believe that Leon left for a few thousand more a week. Lets say it was just 2k a week more. Over three years thats £330k plus the £550k signing on fee. Then you really believe that we would have offered him £850k more than Sheff Utd were offering him when there was no gaurantee of Prem football at that time, and that he wanted to come back as things weren't working out for him? Come on eh? | |

According this he doubled his wages at Sheffield. He even turned down offers from Premier League clubs because Sheffield offered him more.
Leon Leon Leon!

So far today you've posted that Garry Monk wormed his way into the managers job and Leon Britton came crawling back.

Why have you posted a link that contradicts everything you have said? As I said previously to you both. You can't have it both ways! So he doubled his wages with the move yet your saying we agreed to pay him more than that to return plus his £550k signing on fee which he had to repay???
If he was leaving due to the nasty manager 'again your words' wouldn't you expect him to try and get the best deal possible? Your being so silly now! | |
