Thespence Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 League 1 top scorer isn't all that though really is it. Your just young un, I still recall many a good player coming from the lower leagues & non league. I still think there lots of good players down there.

Dave Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 League 1 top scorer isn't all that though really is it. I won't lie I got excited about Beckford for some reason but he is massively overrated on this forum Scoring in League One > not scoring in the Championship Didn't Beckford fail to score/score a very low amount when he had a crack in the championship? He's only made 10 appearances in the Championship. Don't see what relevance it has to my post though; I was just saying I'd much prefer someone who has been banging them in for the last few years (even at a lower level) than someone who hasn't.

Your just young un, I still recall many a good player coming from the lower leagues & non league. I still think there lots of good players down there. He might go on to be a good player at a higher level but he has proved nothing yet. Certainly no more than Best who is for some reason seen as a much worse option.

We could have picked up a few of my mates for a few hundred quid and less wages than the tea lady if the level they play at isn't important Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen both of them play quite a bit & I know who I would rather have. Best has some good things in armoury but finishing is not one of them.

Dave Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 It's only the level below the one we're at now, and hardly much worse IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayson Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Its a pretty good sign when a players consistantly scoring against prem standard opposition Beckford looks very talented. Was more annoyed about that than missing out on moses myself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ProudToBeAGeordie Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 £20 Best will score 15 goals for us before the end of the season. Keep the faith. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Hardly consistently like. Exactly. Even Andreas Andersson scored league goals at Old Trafford, Anfield & Stamford Bridge...couldn't hit a barn door the majority of the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest toonlass Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I am not so much bothered about getting Best instead of Moses or Beckford, more simply that this is the level we are reduced to now. I think given consistant starts Lovenkrands and Best would get goals, it is whether Hughton will play them and not Carroll. People are saying they are disappointed we didn't get Beckford but the lad is 26 and hasn't shown anything above league 1 level so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Know absolutely nothing about the lad so I'll reserve judgement until I've seen him play. He's clearly not going to be fantastic but he might just be good enough. We'll see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeds have played 4 prem teams this season, hes scored fairly against all of them. The one against liverpool wasnt given. That wouldve given him 5 goals in 4 games against prem opposition. Thats pretty consistant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JH Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 3.5 years means little more than we will be able to get a decent fee for him if he doesn't settle. I bet we paid less than we end up selling him for. Here's to hoping! [/ashley] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
