Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 I don't particularly want any of them but I think if I had to go with someone it would be Beckford. Hopefully we can get a deal done early into the window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 there are people against signing boyd, and people against signing beckford....chances are, ultimately, neither of them are PL quality. but we're not there yet and spending a couple of million to ensure we get there is totally worth it. long term thinking is nice, but theres many situations where short term is vital. this is one of those. and for the championship, boyd and beckford are definitely good enough.

We have strikers who can perform at this level tho. We could really do with a creative midfielder before a striker imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayson Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 I still think we'll go up without Harewood, so if we're bringing someone in may aswell take a risk. Beckfords clearly going to be Andy Cole part 2, its all set up perfectly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Cole scored 41 goals in a season for us when he was 21-22. When Beckford was that age he on loan at Uxford, spot the difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could really do with a creative midfielder before a striker imo. definitely. all thats missing for our strikers is good service. otherwise they'd have 10 goals each, and we wouldnt be linked with any more. priority should definitely be a creative player, ideally on the wing. but if hughton has his heart set on a striker, boyd and beckford are both fine choices at this time.

nobby_solano Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Jermaine Beckford has put his £2million switch to Newcastle on hold - so he can help Leeds try to shoot down Manchester United at Old Trafford. Beckford is close to striking a deal with Chris Hughton's Championship leaders that will see him move to St James' Park in the transfer window. Beckford has become one of the hottest properties outside the Premier League. But he is keen to delay his move to Tyneside so he can take his place in Simon Grayson's side for Sunday's FA Cup third round showdown with Sir Alex Ferguson's men. The League One leaders are hoping to pull off a shock win over Sir Alex Ferguson's men and Beckford is desperate to have a crack at United. A Leeds source said: "There is no way Jermaine will want to miss the chance to play United at Old Trafford. "He might not be a Leeds player for too much longer, but his move can wait until after this tie has taken place." from the Mirror... well, question the source if you will, but sounds as if talks are a little bit further than we thought? total bollocks probably like! the star concurs though it sounds like bullshit to me, why would leeds play someone who wasnt going to be there shortly after in whats the biggest game for them in some time. perhaps to let him go out on a high, should they pull off the nigh on impossible beating of man united? or to give them a better chance against man united, so as to give the leeds folk the oneupmanship over the 'scum', if they managed it? when i compared beckford to andy cole, i meant as a striker who'd been in form coming in who could help us kick on to promotion, not that he is actually andy cole Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Roger Kint Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Cole scored 41 goals in a season for us when he was 21-22. When Beckford was that age he on loan at Uxford, spot the difference. Ian Wright was 22 when he debuted in League Football, Sir Les was around Beckfords age when he started playing for QPR, obviously no comparison talentwise but proof that its possible to make a late start.

Cheshire Mag Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Boyd for me. From what ive heard about Beckford he sounds like another Dyer, with his attitude ect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TheKingOfNewcastle Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 I'd prefer Boyd over Beckford, but also think a move for David Nugent at Pompey wouldn't be a bad idea if they need money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheshire Mag Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Looks like he will be staying with them, considering Pompeys finances and Ashleys reluctant to spend any money on us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
