Leadbitter?
One of the quickest players over 10/20 yards I have ever seen, yet rarely used the pace he was blessed with. Also, the worst crosser of a ball I have ever seen. At any level. He’s a lot of things, but ‘exciting’ isn’t the immediate word that springs to mind.

I would definitely add Josh Hare and Tariq Holmes-Dennis to your list of exciting players in the current squad. Can’t wait for them to get over their respective injuries and flourish in the blue and white quarters. Both have quality in abundance.
Also it’s funny that you’ve decided to class Brown as “exciting”. Consistent and dependable for us he may of been but never one who would take my breath away.

Brown took my breath away when he got the winner v Daggers

Easter was crap.
Lot of rose tinted spectacles when people look back on him.
He had a few reasonable performances towards the end when he finally started to get games ahead of the even more usless Luke James but he hardly ever set the world alight.

But having got into position down the wing his ball into the box was truly woeful.

Now he’s coming back into form certainly.

I wouldn’t say he was crap as his first touch was probably the best in that team IMO but he was one of the players who seemed to not be favoured at the time. I had high hopes of him but his style just didn’t fit in with the way DC played and picked his teams.

I don't believe even Darragh MacAnthony thinks Toney is worth that, or that they will even have that offered. Just a warning shot for the vultures close to the Jan window. They accepted a lot less for Jack Marriott who is arguably a better striker.
We wouldn't make any such statements for JCH as we generally accept the first bid that comes in.

They did get £6 million plus add ons for Dwight Gayle though, after only 6 months or so at Peterborough. Also £5.5m for Assombalonga, which could have risen to £8m with add ons.

2016 taylor,harrison,brown,bodin,leadbitter,easter and lines. 2019 clarke-harris. By exciting i mean players that can excite the crowd when going forward. Most of our attacking budget is still taken up by DC's poor signings. This season Nichols, Payne, Bennett, Mensah, Matthews etc are all taken up some of the budget. DC did also sign the other player's you were talking about, but he made some poor signings, once he was able to give out long term deals. We are still paying for that now. Said it many times, this season was always going to be about staying up and then building for next season. You can't really slag GC off for playing boring football, until then. He's just doing what he can, with the player's he has available to him. To me he has looked to bring in player's who could excite. Little and Hare are both attacking full backs. Leary is also an attacking full back and had loads of assists last season. JCH is the only attacking player he has brought in, apart from some cheap loan player's, to make up the numbers. As the budget had ran out. So far I works say he has made more good than bad signings. So next season we could see a different style of football. As you say we don't have many exciting player's. Even if we manage to get Nichols and Bennett off the books on January, no one is going to pay all thier wages. So he still won't get as much money, as a manager week next season.

GC's had two windows already to sign "exciting" players I fear your living in dream land if you think we're going to suddenly start signing exciting players once the likes of Bennett are off the wage bill.

I’d be pleasantly surprised if we make anything other than loans. Given that the club is very much up for sale, I think that unless we get rid of players first, we will see no changes made
