not saying its going to happen but I think we need the big man back Jermaine Beckford legend and he could shoot us back up to the prem

Id love beckford back he could deff get 20+ goals a season if he stays fit

Give over with beckford ffs, there's much better out there

Im not a big fan of bringing old players back howerver, we are not the force we once were! We ain't been a prem for 10 year. Who out there realisticly! On the wages we offer (20k a week) can we get who is much better than JB. sharpe, dj campbell, noel hunt or doyle are not better. Alf or ebanks blake maybe are but one will be in prem and one is injured till november. Would love to hear peoples views on this, sensible ones mind.

Dont just say there's better out there. tell us the names who we could actually buy and most importantly would want to play for leeds.
regardless of the way in what beckford left he has leeds in his heart and if fully fit he's a lot better than the garbage we already have

"Hunt isn't prolific enough" - If someone can name me a prolific striker for under 2 million and would accept wages of 20k, then please, don't hesitate to comment.

Sam Baldock
Ebanks-Blake

Blake, fair enough and as a free agent must be worth a go! But Baldock? God no.

Beckford

I agree beckford could

No thanks

Makes you wonder, how much money is Michu on? Cost £2m, probably on £25k a week and then scored 20+ goals in the prem. there's bargains out there that BMcD will find, don't always have to buy big names!

Leigh Griffiths

Sharp, Russell, Gayle etc

Eric Lichaj
Ross Turnbull
Noel Hunt
Dean Whitehead
Matt Kilgallon
Gary O'Neill

All worth considering.

Does anyone really believe McD would sign Hunt just he gets on well with him? IF we sign Hunt it will be because McD believes he can improve us in whatever system we play next season.

Same old f*****g story. Some people are never happy and its no wonders we have an under performing team. Hunt hasn't Evan sined yet and loads are slating the move. Never happy some of you. Try supporting our signings and give them the confidence that they can achieve great things at this club. You never know they might turn out to be awesome signings. Who knows just give them a chance!

Hunt is ok with me, I wanted him before he signed for Reading. It doesn't matter how few he has scored before, if we play to his strengths he will do ok. Remember Keith Edwards? scored for fun everywhere else, came to us and was crap. Torres and Shevchenko at Chelsea! if you don't play to a players strengths they won't perform.

Well said Danny. Totally agree, the fans negativity slowly seeps through to the players on the pitch. We should be getting behind ALL our players, as the old saying goes the home team fans are the 12th man.
MOT!

He, like Kevin Doyle, wouldn't necessarily be my first choices as neither are that prolific but if either signs I'll back them. they both work hard for the team which always wins the fans over. Anyone we sign should be given a chance by the fans.

Why oh why are we signing more journeymen strikers that are bezzie mates with the boss?? No no no to Hunt ffs.

Hunt has been to errrrr 1 english club ain't he? not all strikers are prolific but he's a hard worker and a winner!

It is only a bad signing if he is seen as our number one striker, however this transfer is about improving the options that we have up front. There were too many times last year that we did not have a recognised striker on the bench therefore I welcome the signing

Go on The Reading Boards, the vast majority of their fans love him because he gives 100% every week and are sorry to see him go. He was offered a new 1 year deal but wanted longer, he has not left because he is not wanted. He will give the squad options that we never had last season up front. Another striker will also come in I think. Brian knows what he's doing.

Cut to the chase
What striker of ours- mcc. Morr. Hunt? Varn. Poleon are capable of 20+?
Answer?
0
Lets sign one sir mcd

Spot on.

Morison and Ross can score goals if they are fit and we play to their strengths.

I agree with scoops, McCormack can score plenty when played to his strengths, I. e position and service! Amongst the best in the league when on his game!

Still not convinced about mac scoring 20. Once becc went, he had plenty of chances to shine. Great work rate but, prolific? No.

I seem to remember he scored 19 goals for us the season before last! Morison scored 17 or so at Millwall. I'd take 35 goals between them all day long!

Morison has scored goals in the prem there's no way you can turn into a bad player over night

Are there any strikers available for free that could score 20 goals next season in champ? Is noel hunt anygood? Any good wingers or good flair midfielders available on a freebie? So many rumours about players I have hardly ever seen. I take it wabara would be good investment. Daily paper saying byram worth 10mill and only top 4 need apply

Ebans Blake would I think but for our strikers to score goals (and I think Ross is more than capable of doing so) we need a solid and creative midfield to supply him with the assists. Also everyone needs to be fit and I think that's what we lacked last season
