I know the past is the past but do you think Grayson might actually get promotion from league 1 with Preston unbeaten in 8 games he seems to know that league very well?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Yes, he will still very harshly sacked from here, he did a brilliant job

Agree0 Disagree0

Luciano, lucianooo, costs less than berbatov and he scores more goals.

believable if u want to c Luciano come home, unbelievable if not

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Knows the club, knows the players, knows the pressure, knows where the goal is. Get him back.

Agree0 Disagree0

Forget the past! Becchio not good enough! Short of confidence, and will not deliver in a team short of wingers!

Agree0 Disagree0

"Knows the club, knows the players, knows the pressure, knows where the goal is"
knows where the exit door is too (unfortunately)
He made his decision. Time to move on and look forwards not backwards.

Agree0 Disagree0

Becchio was forced out by warnock so before all of you start slagging him of think again he was a great servant to the club look at his record.

Agree0 Disagree0

Becchio is in our top 10 goal scorers list.

He hit 19 goals for us last season. As a team we barely hit that after January.

Hit double figures for us in the last 4 seasons.

3rd poster - How is he not good enough?

Hunt Varney or Smith going to hit double figures for us every season? I hope so but I don't see it. I don't see them hitting 19 goals between them before January. Becchio is heads and shoulders above them.

Get him back. He was forced out by Warnock, we all hate Warnock, we all loved Luciano, if he comes back, let's get behind the team and a fan favourite.

CRMD

Agree0 Disagree0

Without being harsh you say you don't look to the past but if Gradel came back youd all love it

Agree0 Disagree0

Did warnock force him to hand the transfer request in?

Davide somma, we could have done with you for the past few weeks, wherever you are I hope your doing well, and using your special finishing powers for good, and not evil! {Ed013's Note - Barnsley showed some interest in him, but nothing came of it}

Just a strikers suggestion post:

Kane, Berahino, Wickham (England U21 guys)

Guidetti, Long (expensive and long shots)

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Can't see it been a young player. As the noises coming out are that it's going to be a; expensive loan singing. I would be suprised if Vaz Te wasn't been considerd can play 2 roles as well. Problem is Wet spam short on strikers I'd go for one from Vaz, Maynard Guddeti,

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Sep 2013 17:17:14
Wickham, Kane, Long are not out and out finishers, Guidietti or Berahino could be decent shouts.

Agree0 Disagree0

Really wish Poleon would be a little more composed. We watch him warm up prior to the match in the practice goal and he slices almost every attempt. Is there noboby coaching him to wrap his foot around the ball. I know he, s young and wants to take the glory by scoring but come on get your head up and take a second extra instead of snatching at everything. I really hope its ALF. Still don't think where that far off. MOT

Agree0 Disagree0

Would love any of them coming in mate but could see berahino getting some game time with west brom looks like a decent bit of potential for them.

Agree0 Disagree0

Ethan hunter who plays at a non league club near Newcastle he scored 6 goals at the weekend - excellent young prospect and at only 7 years old reckon we could get him for free and he only wants a comic and a bag of sweets each week in payment!

Agree0 Disagree0

Man City turned down loan bid from trabzanspor a few weeks ago for Guidetti. Said he wasn't fit enough to play again yet. So it won't be him.
Steve Clarke has said Berahino is not available on loan & claims every championship side has enquired about him. So not likely either.
Shane Long? WBA backed out of 5mill deal on deadline day because Hull's payment plans changed. Loan looks very unlikely.
Becchio? Board are highly unlikely to shell out money for a player who jumped ship less than 12 months ago.
Billy Sharp? Going to Reading
ALF? Going nowhere
Vaz Te? Possible
Matty Fryatt? Highly likely.
Hull are very keen on loaning him out so would probably pay some of his wages.
Solid striker, good work ethic with plenty of experience in this league.
Wouldn't go on loan to Forest but would like to think he'd take the opportunity of playing for us & BMD.
Would be happy with any of these players tbh

Agree0 Disagree0

Thank god for the last poster at least someone can be realistic unlike a lot of fans on here

Agree0 Disagree0

WBA said they wouldn't loan Berainho out again, shame he looks very good

Agree0 Disagree0

Just a point, we all keep going on about needing a winger.

Surely we require 2, as I don't think most fans rate the one(s) we have already.

White and Diouf who can play there, but like I said most don't rate them.

Or are we looking at, Byram to move up to the midfield and keeping Petlier / Lees at the RB position.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

One worked with Thomas last season

Last 4 games (shots on goal / on target):

Burnley - 22/5
Reading - 16/5
Bolton - 16/1
QPR - 11/2

Now I am not one for stats and the like, but we have scored 2 goals in the last 4 games, with our "on target" ratio as 1 in 5. (goals scored ration is 1 in 33! )That is not good enough.

I had commented a few weeks ago that we have 4 out and out strikers on the books, with RossM and Diouf just behind, with a view that one will come good.

But one needs to make way for a proven goal scorer. Just wondering from hunt and varney will be dropped. Because Poleon and Smith appear to be content with the bench role.

(really hope my maths is ok up there)

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Poleon should be content with the bench because that's where he belongs

Agree0 Disagree0

So owners are giving brian some funds for a striker from the prem so could possibly be shane long. Would be a great signing

Believable0 Unbelievable0

It won't be shane long can guarentee you that now more likely to be either one of maynard, fryatt or harry kane

Agree0 Disagree0

I would love it to be Long but would be suprised if it is. I feel that BMcD is looking to loan players that he has a chance of getting in the Jan window.

Agree0 Disagree0

Dont know if Kane could do the job. wished we had got Lingard.

My mate whos a Man United fan said he is better than Januzaj, but just wasnt going to get the game time.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Sep 2013 13:10:35
probably becchio in the end . he likes to play and now knows he not going to get games in prem league but to be honest I don't want him back

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Sep 2013 13:12:13
Well Yep think he could be a target and they was going to sell him and yeah but there's rumours about alf but he will still cost a couple of million at least and not sure we will pay that

Agree0 Disagree0

Where have you heard the owners are giving McDermott funds? I've not seen it and quite frankly don't believe they have a penny to spend. BRING BACK BATES

Agree0 Disagree0

Bring back bates are your for real sometimes I wonder if most of the posts on this site are actually written by leeds fans {Ed013's Note - I think the poster is taking the Michael}

Agree0 Disagree0

Bring back Bates you are a joker pal

Agree0 Disagree0

Shane Long

Agree0 Disagree0

Where not getting shane long so if I was you I would stop trying to get your hopes up because its not happening

Agree0 Disagree0

Apparent interest shown in david bentley, great player and a creative spark. Hope its true, also internet says were attempting pull in a forward before next gamee, wouldn't mind a gamble on crewes max clayton or another young star with sumut show. Suggestions

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Would love bentley at leeds, and le fondre comin on loan. fACT. Realy i'd be happy wiv any1 atm jus a sign bm getting some help would b nice

Agree0 Disagree0

Come on get real crewe are not going to loan us max clayton why would they really

Agree0 Disagree0

Crewe may loan Clayton if we offered them 500k for his loan, with an additional £500k for his signing.

Before anyone says, the valuse up top are just for example sake. Not what I actually value him at.

No doubt, to a Crewe fan £17mil would just cover it.
