Just someone I know, as I said though, I dont know whether to believe it, but just thought Id throw it out there to see if others had heard the same.
This guy told me about Crainie and Gray before anyone else so...i dunno
Fuller scored about 1 goal every 4 games for Stoke. Decent back up at this level but not exactly someone to set the league on fire.
Which Gomez?
There's about a million of them
Mario of course.
No, I think his name is Kevin or something like that. Young french player
Wasnt that Kevin bloke here early in the summer too? Fuller would be decent backup
also heard that all 3 off the trialists scored
1 goal every 4 in the prem? ..kinda good!
Fuller would be a very good backup, better than Gray.
Kevin Gomez???
very french!
Fuller could be true. He is probably friends with Austin. Would be decent if he's fit. Big if though.
Buzsáky would be decent too. Better than Green and Norris imo.
This thread brings back very familiar memories, 8 years and counting of clinging to rumours of inferior clubs cast offs. You couldn't make it up!
Ask yourself this.
Becchio returns to his first season in the championship form and looks set to get s 20+ goals for the season
Ross continues his form from last season and too looks set to hit 20+
Then at Christmas one of them gets an injury that puts them out for 2 to 3 months
Would you say the words "its alright, we have Fuller to come in, he will be able to fill the role and get us the goals we will be missing cause of this injury"
Cause I wouldn't. I don't think he has enough to push either Becchio or Ross for a starting place in the squad, and if we are getting another striker in that is what we need and want.
Lots of ifs and buts there MattyP.
Ask yourself this. IF Leeds get Messi, IF Leeds get Benzema, IF Van Persie decides he loves Yorkshire and wants to join Leeds.
IF I am walking home and get hit by a bus...
Who's to say Becchio and / or Ross get anywhere near 20 goals.
You cant start a comment on ifs, buts and maybes for 1 striker and not for another. Who's to say Fuller wouldnt have the season of his life?
hluck
One thing that isn't in doubt, is your expectation levels of recruitment by Bates and mates. Nuff said.
??I dont quite get you Eddie??
I'm only passing on news i heard. Never said at any stage that I wanted any of the 3 players??
Some people cling to anthing and are still hoping we'll sign Lichaj!
I thought 3 trialists started last night and one came on as a sub for another trialist
Those are silly situations which take the point completely out of context in order to to make out that the original statement was not a valid concern.
There is no chance that any of those players would ever end up anywhere near Leeds so to make such a statement is silly.
However a striker who has had a great season and another who has always found the net for Leeds when not injured is a reasonable starting point.
Becchio had a less than perfect year last year due to injury, having concerns about him being injured again this year at some point is a valid concern.
When did i say he couldn't do it? i just said that i wouldn't expect him to do it, and I am saying that based on his age and scoring form in the past.
I don't see him as a viable back up when we already have another striker on the bench to fill that role and he at least got 8 goals last year
hluck, didn't mean you with that statement!
i know Jonty lad. no offence taken bud.
I heard the same people off twitter but they also said Buszacky was only training with us to keep fit and wants a move abroad! Seems daft if thats the case to involved in a game but who knows?
Outwood, sometimes it feels like we're a charity outfit for players wanting to get fit.
just as unlikely as somma ever playing for leeds again but plenty on here think he will be good for us this season,cant see him playing unfortunately
Ivan Klasnic and Tommy Smith are other names being mentioned
