Theres prem looking at Wells, were also believed to be looking at him along with Wolves & Town, upto me its not first choice to go to Town so keep faith !
Remember were just the fans we have NO say in transfers otherwise we'd be european champions every year.

Why would you want to spend money on Wells when we have Dawson? Younger, faster and more ability and he's already ours. MOT {Ed013's Note - Wells is a striker, Dawson is a midfielder}
Agree0

Not a prem striker?
I thought he was superb agaisnt Arsenal and Villa and they had stong teams out.
I think we need to sign a stiker with a proven goalscoring record in the league were in.

...Or he's getting ready to go out on loan soon.
He should have never been brought back from his loan at Bury. Zac recently extended his loan til' the end of the season, Poleon needs a similar deal.
With Becchio (who I don't see going) McCormack, Diouf and Somma on the books I don't see him making the bench. Even if Becchio does go he'll be replaced and therefore Poleon needs a league one loan deal, in my opinion.

Hmm, when they have 100% ownership and Bates has no say what's so ever. So stop trying to fuel things. Go concentrate on ya own little life.

What a load of Tosh how often has Ken even been seen let alone heard since the takeover ? He hasnt point of fact he is a Non Exec chairman with a voice but no power. He isnt pulling any strings in fact i should imagine he is in Monaco counting the 52 million quid cash they have just paid for the club. If that's having no money.....I wish i was skint. MOT

Bates is no longer pulling the strings - People just need to let that go.... No-one knows about the GHF finances, its all just hearsay so we should wait and see.

Why is it always Huddersfield, touchy, touchy!
Agree0

The poster is right, GFH have no money of their own -to think that they do is just wishful thinking. They are a bank -banks are investment vehicles for those with money; their job is to try and attract investment. This they have succeeded in doing sufficiently to cover the purchase, with the majority of the funds coming from the 'wealthy individual with connections to the Bahrain government.' (not royalty, as some have suggested) But by definition they do not have substantial funds of their own. And Bates is still pretty central to the operation -he's still chairman for goodness sake. Of course he has a much lower profile publicly -but that's just for the sake of PR, part of GFH's charm offensive. Chapel A
Agree0
Disagree0
Who's to say GFH have gone and put all there eggs in one basket and are now trying to play it out till end of season, with the hope of getting some cash in the break. Funny how all are targets are not getable but everyone else doing there buisness. Who are we trying to get? Players out of retirement.

Martinez has played down the link up with Bechio
Believable57
Unbelievable16
Is it only me, but when a manager plays down speculation don't you think that makes it more believable?... Martinez said he didn't want to mention names... to me that says he is interested in Becchio or why wouldn't he just say "No, I'm not interested".
After this latest bit of news, I'm now convinced he is on his way unfortunately.

Have you actually thought that he may work well with McCormack - who is a goalscorer. Doyle's a good player, very good at this level in fact. I'd have him in the team if we lose the current centre forward.

I'd swop becchio for Doyle anytime

Blackstock as signed a new deal so think your lying, what's the point in writing things that are not TRUE give us time to get people still a few weeks left, a proper buisness byds time to get succesfull and I think that's the best thing for the club a action plan not to just jump in at the deep end and waste money, we should be developing our younger players and giving them a chance look at there result last night they are hungry players give them the chance, there's loads of talent at the club Leeds united TRUE supporter h.p.c 4 life

Agree2

Why is everyone having panic attacks over Becchio leaving? We'd be a miles better TEAM without him. Really hope we sell him & get a forward that can actually move, make runs so our BETTER players have someone to link up with, run channels, hold the ball up & bring our BETTER players like McCormack & Diouf into the game! He is awful! He holds us back - why can't people see this?? I'm sure 90% of Leeds fans are delusional!
Agree2
Disagree1
Or maybe its the other 10 per cent that's dilusional?? becchio is the best finisher we have had since Viduka
lee
Agree1
Disagree0
Holds us back?! We'll just forget about his 19 goals this season then! Because we'd be down towards the bottom without them. We need a partner for him who will run off and make the space, not to be selling him altogether.
If Becchio does leave this month, I will be very disappointed as he's been extremely loyal and guarantees you goals. Not forgetting this so called 'awful' player is on our top 10 league goal scoring list of all time - he must be bad then. JamesC
Agree2
Disagree0
Um... Beckford was a better finisher (and that was frankly all he had to his game).
Viduka? He only played three/four months of a season when he put himself in the shop window. Did the same at Celtic.
Maybe forgotten by some but I'd say Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink was the best finisher we've ever had at Leeds (ok, certainly had the most powerful finish)... Becchio's link-up play was a big factor in Beckford's goals. I think he's just getting found out the higher the level of opposition.
He's trying, though... unlike Beckford did. If only the rest of the team had even half Becchio's heart.
Agree0
Disagree0
If we're talking about the best finishers, then Yeboah & Robbie Fowler are the best I've seen in a white shirt. Shame they both got injured. Regardless of what people say, Fowler was class for us before he got hurt. Came in at Christmas & finished top scorer. Great finisher too. Clinical.
Agree0
Disagree1
Yeboah ad most powerful shot in my humble opinion
Agree0
Disagree0
I love becchio but he is never worth £4million
Beckford was not a good finisher he's another Andy cole
Fowler by far best finisher in my opinion and unfair comment on viduka he was a luxury player in a good team like a tarrabtin qpr or a ginola at spurs
The only problem with selling becchio is can we have at least £2million to replace hi
Agree1

Best finisher in a white shirt sniffer. Clarke

Allan Clarke was the best finisher

Agree0
Disagree1
17 Jan 2013 16:09:27
Sorry, Beckford had more to his game than finishing. Could go past people & create something for himself! Something which Becchio will never be able to do! We've fallen into the trap of building a team around a guy that has no football ability whatsoever & needs everything putting on a plate for him. If he didn't play we'd get goals from other areas - a forward with good movement would make other players play better! As it is we're too one dimensional & are very limited in our attack due to a static forward.
Agree0
Disagree0
I take exception to criticism of mark viduka, skill, strength and a great finisher.lazy, luxury player, kewell!!what an idle b.....d!!
Agree0

Seen Clarke to Becchio andlots in between and rated many highly but always loved watching Michael Bridges before the injuries started.
Agree0
Disagree0
Hang on a minute -this great club has had numerous fantastic strikers over the years. Are we not able to say we loved one striker without slagging off others? Personally, I am proud to say that I've watched forwards as great as Becchio, Beckford, Snodgrass, Viduka, Bridges, Kewell, Hasselbaink, Yeboah etc etc in the white shirt, and will not hear a word said against any of them! At various times, all were great in the white shirt and made me proud to be a Leeds fan. Is that not enough? If Becchio goes, then he deserves nothing but our best wishes for the fabulous service he's given us, and he will always be welcome back -that's all that needs to be said. We will enjoy the memories, then look forward to our next great striker -at this great club there will always be another one round the corner. Chapel A

Becchio to Wigan for £3.2m

Very reliable source who told me about the signings of Diouf, Varney + Austin

Id have that even though i don't want becs to go

Rubbish. Why make things up? Thomas said
he's staying at WBA. Besides he's got 6 months on his contract which wouldnt equate to a £1m fee.
As for CMS. Why would he come to Leeds when we don't offer anything different to Brighton in terms of Prem football ?
Agree1
Disagree0
If Becs go then CMS is good replacement but I'm sure Jerome Thomas has made it clear he wants to stay at West Brom
Agree0
Disagree0
Is that the same Jerome Thomas who recently said he'd not be coming back to Leeds? Also I can't see Brighton letting CMS go for that amount
Agree0

Wishful thinking me thinks, beccs worth double the price of cms .. Can't see it
Agree0

We won't get thomas
Agree0

Why would anyone persist in this chase for Jerome Thomas - with 3.2 million plus any GFH input we can surely do better than this - sack Warnock before wecare skint again paying for S**T players who have no chance of getting us promoted.
Also of note that Birmingham was BRILLIANT - but only in comparison to the other games this season Ben bloody poor!

I've just choked on my coffee reading some of these comments! Becchio is a terrible footballer & makes us easy to defend against. I'd rather have a forward that scores less but has great movement & then we'll see better performances from Dioufy & Ross. This is what we need! We need our best players on the field, not on the bench. The best thing we could do is sell him. The next best thing we could do is leave him out & continue with Ross & Diouf.
Agree1

Brighton paid an intial 2.5m for CMS. Can't see they would let him go for a million less a year and a half later
