There are always some bad deals made that don't work out and Leslie was no exception.
He knows it was a bad deal at the time but because he had the resources had little hesitation in seeing the deal through to conclusion.
He is at one of the few clubs in the premiership now that could meet our valuation of RSC but is showing no interest it seems in taking him there which says it all.
Like Torres although he had two good seasons RSC had one decent season and some thought he was something special when it fact the reality was he wasn't.
