Beckford is not a player I would see back, he went gold digging when we needed him!

Lets knock this c**p on the head, no ex players to return, completely new start with BM

He left to try his luck in the Premiership same as Howson, Johnson, Snodgrass and Becchio so not sure why he is taking flak for doing the same

Dont want any of them back, not just beckford

I have no idea why so many of you do not agree with ex players coming back. Beckford was mid to late 20's and wanted to try his luck in the premier league. I don't blame him in the slightest. Plus, you persons who keep referring to him being a waste of space in the premier league seem to forget that he finished joint top scorer in his first season there on 10 along with Saha. The man is a massive threat and scores goals wherever he goes. He is 6 foot 2, fast and lethal from inside the box, let alone his ability to curl in some from range. In my opinion, exactly what we lack. I would gladly take him back.

Here we go again, people talking rubbish about ex-players coming back, I spose the next rumour will be ian harte, then alan smith. utter c**p!

No sure if you were at the game on saturday but Warnock's crossing/freekick and corners were all s****! Harte would be a good back up. He would have obviously lost his pace but he is a major threat from set pieces. No doubt his goals/assists would more than cancel out his mistakes.

Nothing wrong with ex-players per se -they just need to be the right ones, and the right age. As it happens, I think Beckford could be ready to complete unfinished here -and to do so with a bang. Not so sure about Killa, who has never really developed as hoped _if we are to get a centre back, they need to be tall and physical, to complement Leeds. Chapel A

Harte made rather too many mistakes in our last season in the Prem. Didn't have Wilcox in front of him tracking back when Kewell was (occasionally) fit. Yes, his dead ball skills are among the best in the world but, we need a strong, quick leftback who can actually defend. We haven't had one of those in nearly 20 years.

Harte's corners were consistently crap and he had no pace even at his best. Not sure about Beckford as he missed more than he scored though you could argue that you have to be in the right place to get the chances in the first place.

Leeds to sighn le fondre and humphrey and a solid cb and a passing CM these will be bought with the funds of byram

This is if he is sold which I don't think he will and we don't have much money prob

Humphrey played a blinder for Motherwell today on Sly, Looks a great potential Leeds player, full of running, and wicked pace.

Byram must not be sold.

Byram won't be sold, just ignore these posters who say he is going

Apparently we have accepted a bid for Danny Pugh from Sheffield Wednesday now they are safe, 250k apparently!

No there not safe if you look at table they are 1pt above safety, I don't call that safe.

Whilst believable Sheff Wed can still be relegated

They must have more money than sense

I think Pugh is out of contract isn't he? If not, Wednesday must know that we'd pay them to take on his contract.

Ha ha forgot about him!

Pugh did well first time round when Blackwell built a team from scratch in very little time. Don't like seeing him slagged off. Good luck to him wherever he goes.
