Seeing as Norwich now have plenty of strikers and becchio isn't really needed I they were to let him back to us for a fair price and he will accept our wages would you want him back or not

Personally as long as he has the same attitude then I would be happy to see him back as we need a goal scorer and he was our top goal scorer by around double in half a season

I'm not saying it's going to happen but would you accept him back

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Becchio said he wasn't going to try for us anymore. Let him rot warming their bench. He's not the type of striker we need. We require a pacey fox in box type but if he keeps going Poleon filling that role. We desperately require width and center half cover. Gradel/Rowe and Mills/Gorkss. Get them and we have a play off capable squad. FACTOID

Agree0 Disagree0

I think I would and usually I don't want returns.

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed what do you think? {Ed013's Note - Doubt it very much}

Agree0 Disagree0

Norwich have 3 strikers.

Agree0 Disagree0

For crying out loud! Why do people insist on looking backwards.

Agree0 Disagree0

He wouldn't rejoin. Number one he would be too embarrassed and he will most probably join a foreign team who will treble his wages

Agree0 Disagree0

We want to get back into the premiership in nxt couple of years and to sign a striker who left us and can't get in an average premier team would be pointless, yeah he was good for us but would u be happy for becchio to be leading the line if we was to win promotion this year?

Agree0 Disagree0

Don't want him back, there is a lot better out there we got the best out of him because he suited warnock s long ball play. Bmd plays football and becs has a bad first touch and would not be able to adapt

Agree0 Disagree0

Whether he would return or not is largely irrelevant, We don't want him back.

Does any real footballing mind out there think there isn't another player out there that could do the job for us up front. IMO he is close to 30 and past it, we are ok up front and the boys need to come good, just need to to sure up the defences and need a game changer sort of player.

Agree0 Disagree0

Seeing as Woodgate and Smith are available at teh right proce we should have them back., come to think of it let's ask Kewell and Radebe come back. They are still breathing.

Agree0 Disagree0

The past is the past.now is the future. MOT

Agree0 Disagree0

Hes similar to smith, rather give him his chance, vinny.

Agree0 Disagree0

Lol now isn't the future it's the present! Haha

Something for the weekend
Australia to be bowled out first innings for under 200
Leeds to score 3
Real madrid pull out of bale transfer
Chelsea for some reason sign rooney
Arsenal sign suarez
Make the bet

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Aus will win this test easily. the series will be 2-2, England lucked out on the first match.

Agree0 Disagree0

Keep taking the tea ausman Leeds won't score 3 even if Leicester don't turn up!

Agree0 Disagree0

According to a tv sports channel the odds of Suarez, Bale and Rooney all moving are 8/1

Agree0 Disagree0

You on the sauce again fella! Strong stuff over there is it ha ha, would get huge odds on that tho

Agree0 Disagree0

No because with no team there to kick off from the the first goal, the score would remain at one nil. That is presuming Leeds started the match. but hang on, if Leicester don't turn up there will be no-one available to toss the coin to decide on choice of ends and who starts the match. very confusing!?

Roy Cropper

Agree0 Disagree0

Re cricket. Comment- watch and weep
No team has got 300 on that pitch this year. Trust me. Anderson and swann will obliterate aus batsmen. Tv and radio boasting how aussie gave dominated england over hear. I say wait for the fat lady.

Agree0 Disagree0

Bale and suarez will go, moyes won't sell rooney to a rival club.

Agree0 Disagree0

Aussies look a good bet to get 300

Agree0 Disagree0

Bloody lucky aussies. Wait for the lady!

Eoghan Stokes signed a pro deal says so on newsnowbut it fails to mention what position he is, so I'm just wondering what position is he and how good Is he.

Del boy {Ed013's Note - Striker I believe}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Seen him in FA youth cup games he looked decent nowhere near the class of mowatt and dawson tho

Agree0 Disagree0

The clues on the website "Teenage Striker Signs Pro". As per that, I think he's a right back mate

Agree0 Disagree0

Ahhh thanks for the sarcasm but when I posted the only thing up there on him was a link saying young pro signs deal so don't be a nob about it.

Anton Ferdinand has left QPR by mutual consent. A free agent and ideal for championship football at Elland 'Red Bull' Road

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Anton Ferdinand 28YR old Centre Back RELEASED by QPR must be worth a shout for Free!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

No way. We don't need his sort

Agree0 Disagree0

Dont talk rubbish, he is a bigger person than Rio, we won't touch him with a big stick

Agree0 Disagree0

Ignoring the controversy around him and the Terry affair I don't think he's that good, he dined out on Rio in his hey day for long enough and now that meal ticket is all but finished he has nowhere else to go.

Agree0 Disagree0

He's rubbish why would anyone want the cry baby let alone us

No chance on Gradel we ain't got the 3-4 million he'd cost, I think even the biggest optimist would agree we can't afford him. The 4 th signing Brian was talking about today, when he said the player wants to come but his club don't want to sell is T Rowe. They obviously think he will be a big part in them getting back up as we will be able to sign him for free next year, I don't see him putting in a transfer request as he's there club captin, nice to see some players have morals, Suarez is a absolute peice off sh*$ a big example off watts up with the game at the min contracts are not worth the paper they are written on I hope they let him rot (soz for going away from LUFC at the end off post, As for some people wanting Becchio back on loan I wouldn't not as bad as Suarez but he did say if we didn't sell him he'd not try. I've heard he's going to Borough.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

On suarez. don't care bout the player although he is fantastic striker, coukdnt give monkeys who he plays for. However
Liverpool are being deceitful and lying. The only reason that buy out clause is in tbere is because the player asked for it and/or liverpool thought it a fair price. Wording it to legally mean they don't have to sell is deliberately deceiving suarez. They are being bullies and should be fined. They just didn't expect another prem team to want him. They got no chance of europe next year either

Agree0 Disagree0

On the Suarez thing, it has been stated that the 40 mil clause is permission to speak to and not to actually be sold, the scousers value him in the 50 mil bracket so unless someone comes up with dosh then they don't have to sell.
its not often I will back LFC but I do on this occasion.

Agree0 Disagree0

posh chairman confirmed on twitter today we haven't approached them for rowe since may so this 4th signing isn't rowe

Agree0 Disagree0

Why put it in then. If a buy out clause exists, It should mean liverpool have the price they want and suarez can stay or go. If liverpool want 50, should have set clause at 50. They are being deceitful and dishonest. Suarez is a nob but if I was him i'd sit on the bench and see his contract out. Liverpool gave surprised me on this one, being run by wideboys by the looks of it and manager out of his depth.

Agree0 Disagree0

McDermott can say what he wants about needing a CB but at the end of the day, it is plain to see we need width, we don't have one winger in the squad and killock would be decent enough cover for the centre backs we already have in place, if we get a couple of Mackay-Steven, Gradel, Freeman or Assaidi on loan, if we did we'd definitely be in the playoff/promotion mix up at the end of the season

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Weve got a winger who when he last played a season got the most assists/goals in the counter and the poor kid dusnt even get a shout, never has he should ask to leave

Agree0 Disagree0

looks like we now know where funding has come from for new signings promised this week.Our chairman has increased his stake to ten percent.This is a refreshing change from bates era when all he did was take money out.He is also humble as did not blow his trumpet about it in interview, again unlike our previous self publicist chairman bates.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Well said mate . Bates was just the worst possible creature alive this guy seems a nice fella! Mot to the prem were we belong .

Not a rumour but does anyone rlse think Mort Gamst Pederson is worth a punt - been told he can leave Blackburn on a free and has a decent cross on him.

Tom {Ed013's Note - He is also a Leeds fan}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

He's not a leeds fan he's a Man U fan said couple of year back he goes watch them play in he's spare time and was brought up in a Man U supporting family in Norway

Agree0 Disagree0

I think it's a good shout, not sure what he is like nowadays but he used to be very good, years ago even ronaldo once said he was his best player in prem, if he is reasonable on wages I would take a punt, could drop it on Smith's loaf for fun!

Agree0 Disagree0

Just because his family were nutters, don't mean he is. Always been a fan of his. Great player. Maybe past ut now though. Anybody seen him play in last few months?

Agree0 Disagree0

Too old, not hungry enough, not good enough, works far too little! Indeed well past it - his crossing is all that's left! Has lost his place in norwegian national team, and for a reason! Would be waste of money, and no way Mac will go for him!
