Becchio back to Leeds?

Post by BillysBarmyLass »

I apologize again for reading the DM - let's face it everyone needs some light entertainment!
However, what do we think - will he be welcome? Would a McCormick Becchio front pair bring in the much needed wins? Personally I still think we strengthen defense and Diouf's salary is an ongoing cost.

Looks like an old article, but I don't think I would have him back.

That said, If Becchio did one day return it would be a boost for the fans and sort of nice. But making the decision purely on football, I think its a no from me.
Besides, Alan Smith is in front of him in the queue.

I'll have Snoddy back though in a heartbeat.

Snoddy for sure would be fantastic alas not likely. The DM article is a bit old but there were lots of media swirls about it last night. Middlesborough, Leeds and Charlton were the 3 being considered.
Smithy yes but only without the highlights!! ;)

I would like Becchio back, he's a quality striker at championship level.

He is one of those players like McCormack, who seemed to effect the game most matches, either scoring or creating, he was everything that Varney wasn't IMO.

Only thing is lads, we haven't a bob and how much is he on per week even if he was to come on loan?

We can't afford diddly squat unless Cellino takes over. How long is the loan transfer window open?
