Mountain Owl Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Top professional in application, attitude and ability. Big signing for Bolton, hope it works out for him. How he recovered from a horrible injury which all but finished his career says everything about the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinnishOwl Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 He would have been a very useful squad player for us this season and would probably have played for little money considering his injury problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that no other Championship or league 1 team hasnt taken a punt on him shows that he isnt still good enough. We cant stockpile players just because they used to be good. 100% the right decision to let him go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is the best player we’ve had since we dropped out of the Prem. Antonio is the best player we've had since the Premier league days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trev Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Delighted he found a team. He didn't look out of place in our midfield last season so will be a real coup for Bolton. Good luck KL. Wawaw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also comes down to him though, may have had an offer from down south or further afield, might not want to move his young family etc. Bolton right on his doorstep 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asteener1867 Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 One of my all time favourites..not only a big hearted player, but a skilfull one. 100% every game he played for us, some when he was carrying knocks All The bet KL hope it works out, be great to draw Bolton in a cup when crowds are back, he deserves an ovation from Owls fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kew Owl Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Really pleased for him -hope it works out well for him. Shame we weren’t able to give him the send off he richly deserved when he left us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Concrete Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Really chuffed for the lad, especially getting a club close to home. Always enjoyed watching him play, really was class at times for us. Shame he got as many injuries as he did. Good luck Kieran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marro Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 We will all wish Lee well. A very good player for us. He’ll be fondly remembered and welcomed back to Hillsborough. I hope he does well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom22709 Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Favorite player since Di Canio, a proper unsung hero, I’m stunned he’s never played in the premier league. He’s way too good for league 2, but that hip injury destroyed his career Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DobbinTheDonkey Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 (edited) Intelligence and spacial awareness were top class. He had a main fault for me and it's the reason why he played at this level. I don't think he believed just how good he could have become. He always seemed reluctant to shoot and preferred to pass. With more belief confidence I think he could have scored a lot more and probably reached Premier League level. All the best to him an absolute joy to watch at times. Got the ball in any position lay it off and receive again, finding space where there appeared to be none.

Skiptonowl Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Good luck to a true professional. I hope one day he returns to Hillsborough and we can give him a proper send off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
