Beckford's deal at Bolton taking a long time to get over the line. BMcD's late entry is being held up by funds that are not available until tomorrow and hopefully he will be back to ER. Strike force sorted.

Not going to happen, get over him.

Stop all this beckford talk, more chance of yeboah lining up for us

Hes not good enough to play 4 leeds again lower league player

4.) 04 Jul 2013
Beckford has failed since leaving us and is unproven in the championship so sorry but there is no need 4 sulky beckford when we already have diouf who is sulky so no no no thanks

5.) 04 Jul 2013
Diouf's gone

Once Beckford was on the pitch, we always had a chance of scoring. Have missed the excitement caused by his goals.

No loss if Diouf gone - loss count of the number of free kicks and corners that were completely wasted. His crossing of the ball was also wasteful. Was excellent at holding up the ball but overall, no loss

8.) 04 Jul 2013
Dioufs' gone where?

First off, I do feel people need to get over him, as he was once our player but no real rumours that he will be again so we should be able to leave it now, however I disagree massively with the negative talk about Beckford, how on earth has he failed since leaving us? Scored 2 goals in 3 starts for Everton, yes he wasn't played much, but how can he produce from the bench, he also scored 8 in 14 starts for Udders last season, same division as us, which is a better goal scoring ratio than our strikers, Leicester is the only place he never really got going, the rest he managed to do what a striker does and that's score goals, all this talk of not being good enough is nonsense, you weren't saying that when he was banging in 20+ goals a season for us, oh no, back then he was good enough for the Premier League, now because he don't play for us and he left in not such flattering terms he is rubbish. do me a favour.

Who cares!! he ain't that good. if you all remember, he doesn't pass, moans worse than my missus and misses a boat load of chances

lets get some footballers in the team

I'm sorry but all this talk about diouf. the amount of games last season where he was easily our best player, showed he has quality when on the ball, he would be a big loss.

Totally agree with the 9th poster. He scored 10 goals for Everton in total despite not having much game time, including one vs Chelsea where he ran from box to box through 5/6 Chelsea players! One goal doesn't make him a star I know, at Leicester he suffered with injury all season, then he got his shooting boots back on with Huddersfield. For me, he still has that spark that can turn a game.

Some players find that they are more comfortable at one club than any other, Beckford could be that kinda guy!


However, I feel that BMD is looking for something a little different in the way he is setting the team up. I'm happy for Beckford to come in, as I am for all new signings (whether they have played for Leeds before or not) because it shows the manager has a plan, and I am happy to support him in whatever he does. Because I am a LEEDS SUPPORTER!



Also, to the tenth poster. You and I are obviously hearing very different moans from your missus!!

Beckford is the past. He scored a lo of goals for us in League 1, hit the winner against and got the goal that got us promoted, then did one. He was lazy, and didn't want to stay because he wanted more money. He can't cut it in the PL or the Championship. Time to move on. Brid White
