Just wanna say to everyone to get off GFH's case about the Becchio sale. For one it appears that Becchio has been lookin out of our club many times, according to Eddie Gray. This could attribute to the poor form at times that he has given.
Becchio in my eyes has not played well for ages, I know he has 19 goals this season, however I havent seen that many times when he has been a dominant CF.
we have offerred becchio 20 grand a week, thats more than anyone at the club, why should we break our wage structure when there are good players on less like mccormack.
im sure we would have had a few marquee signings in if it werent the january transfer window which is a hard time to sign players unless you are offerring silly money or silly wages. If NW could bring in people of the calibre of Beckford, Blackstock, Gradel (I know unlikely), Thomas, Boyd, I would be more than happy to get rid of becchio. No pace and one of the reasons we play hoofball.
We are not selling becchio he put in the transfer request because he wanted silly money.

GFC & Becchio

Spot on Germany.Defenders and midfield players have a choice when they have the ball.Becchio is probably the only one doing his job.and that is scoring.

Even Messi would find it hard to look good with some of these players around him.

I remember a video someone put up on here once!..
Warnock and a young player, one that he thought did something wrong or not what he wanted, what did he do in his half time talk!..
He told him to buckoff and have a shower!..
But not in the politest way of saying things, I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't tell Becchio to buckoff and stand in the transfer window!..
Now then, Snoddy, Becchio, funny how Becchio was offered money that would "make" him stay, because Snodders was offered a make him stay rise as well!..
Now money must have a bit to do with it, ie another club offering what others think he's worth,(says a lot for some off ours eh?)but, how do people around here know there wasn't anything else?..
He's stayed more loyal then any for a long time at Leeds, so maybe something has gone on that's pushed him over that line that he more then likely has thought about crossing a lot off times!..

If Becchio can score this many goals in a poor side,think what he could do in a good one.If he goes and our goal tally is down,Warnock is going to look very stupid.We are in a minus 5 now,so without Becchio what would it have been.I can just see it now...Bates asking GFH "what have you done"."Oh we have just sold our leading goalscorer for £x,and not spent a penny to replace him".Bates would reply, "nice one,where's my fix,I could not have done it any better"."The morons will blame the player if you tell Warnock to say the right things".

Becchio's off because he's got neck ache and he's seen all his mates move on to better things and more money. People on here call him a carthorse, amongst other things. I've been to most of the games and his contribution in some games has been negligible. Offset that with the quality of the service and striking support that he has received. Say what you like, the lad is a good finisher, I use his goal against Chelsea as an example. With good crosses from the likes of Snodgrass and Gradel he scored goals. Who at the club can even cross a ball. Becchio has been a good servant for what he cost us, reputedly Euro 70k and a football strip, he's 29 and can see from the inside that we are going nowhere. He goes with my blessing.

Yes.It is Warnock.Lousy football,Mouthing off about Becchio,And kept on shouting his mouth off about getting another striker.Thats just for starters mate.

Lousy football that's help becchio score the most goals in his career? Was he not right about wanting a new striker then knowing becchio wanted out?

So everything Warnock says is correct.You are like the rest of us none of us know the truth.And given the Leeds board and managements record on transferes I am inclined to believe it's another,Lets cash in.Warnock will have unsettled Becchio with his talk of bringing in another striker.So Mr Warnock ,if your'e being honest,Where is the striker that can score goals you promised us?.I don't see one.It's all baloney from Warnock.Or maybe some on here believe the propaganda the rest of us don't.

meme, if Becchio has scored so many with this team, I'm sure if players that the club "couldn't/wouldn't" hold on to that everyone sees were the "heart and soul" off this team had still been here, then he'd more then likely have scored more, but then having said that, maybe he would have had a bit more to do to fend off the other players that more then likely would have also scored more!..
Bates flogged the heart out of this club, and at this moment in time he has still either to much to say or the newbies are taking his advice!..
Warnock only has to say he stays then that's it, he hasn't and that being the case its just carrying on as before!..
I'm hoping like I've said a few times that there is someone sitting in wait,(not giving anything to Mr Vanish!)ie savior Bates and are just waiting for him to stuff off so they can get on with what they want to do, but at this moment it seems Bates is still fully in control!..
