After the latest defeat, the Yorkshire Evening Post reported that GFH had found some money from somewhere (maybe Ken hid some down the sofas of the East Stand), and they would be looking to recruit somebody to score the goals that Saturday showed we were desperately short of. I've already mentioned in a previous blog that I feel we have one already at the club but he is not being used in the right position. (A return to the frontline?)
I digress, the players being mooted around are Adam le Fondre, Billy Sharp and a certain Argentinian seemingly left to rot on an East Anglian bench, albeit on a very large pay packet. The news of this certainly lit up the social media as any possible signing does, but this is different, like the ex you meet on a boozy night out, should you take her home or is 'been there, done that'. I'm a fan of the tall Argentinian, any player who gets in his clubs top ten goal scorers has got to be looked at seriously, if he is indeed available. He scored 87 goals in 221 games in all competitions and when he left he was the top scorer for that season with 19, a decent percentage for any forward. Yes his head was turned by his agent but like many players before him he found the grass wasn't as green as it was in Leeds 11. His detractors will point out that his goals came in the lower league but in my book and many others, a goal still remains a goal wherever your playing. It is more difficult the higher level you play, but strikers have a instinct for where the onion bag is. We will wait and see who comes in with anticipation, but it would make me happy if the player coming in was the one who scored more goals than a certain Bulgarian and cost a lot less. On On On

He's too old and he's betrayed us we can't forgive that

He may have had his head turned by the lights of the premiership, & who wouldn't you were a footballer , but he was also pushed by Warnocks attitude towards him . I would welcome him back- But we have Smith who can play that role so maybe we need someone with pace & guile in the box.

So if in your line of work you were offered the chance to perform at a higher level at double the money you'd turn it down? Let's leave him on the Canaries bench then and plod along with our formidable front line!! BBB, I for one would love to see him back

There is much better options in my mind but he didn't betray us as we all know agents and Ken the leasehold Bates pushed this through

Did he Bugger betray us! Warnock couldn't handle him properly & was obviously outspoken with regards to Warnock Shyte Tactics! Which left to him being frozen out under the circumstances both Becchio & Rosco did exceptionally well! Anyone Who plays for half a season & Still Scores 19 Goals is 'WELCOME Back' in my books!
Life after Luciano

I have been suggesting this for weeks, and after Saturday (which was clear for all to see), and this mornings news that someone is coming in before the weekend, i dearly hope the board have given Brian the go ahead to have a word with our Canary friends in Norfolk. Luciano is apparently keen and clearly being confined to beach walking in Norfolk at present! MOT and BBB (Bring back Becchio)

If they bring him back then fine ,, he seems to be happy at Leeds and who are we to blame him for trying his talents in the best league in the world ,, it hasn't worked out for him but I don't think money was his god in the move to norwich , yes it helps but not the only reason so yeah bring him back if it can be done , and lets put it this way , how many would he have got being up front for us on sat ? , at least 2 !!!

Sharp is the man we need. Not convinced Le Fondre would come.

Le Fondre would be a great signing. I think he would come to us because BMD played him a lot at reading and they got on very well. Bentley would give us a much needed option on the wings and wouldn't cost GFH anything in transfer fees. Keep the faith!! 23/9/2013 02:58:39 am
Luciano weve already got similar players upfront we can use. what this club needs is a creative midfielder some one up front with pace to loose their man and hit the net and a wide winger. we could say we already have these players but the simple fact is were theyre not good enough. we need to press for a premiership status and id ask how long is this going to go on for. we have the facilities, apparently a good manager, the financial backing needs risks you need to take to get where you want to be look at the money promotion would pay back. we need to look at returning to where we belong short term not as a long term gamble where the fans have to endure the crap were seeing week in and week out 23/9/2013 03:45:00 am
Let's bring the boy back home! He played his heart out for us mighty whites and if not for his goals last season then relegation would of been a major possibility!

Things changed alot since the 97th at reading, but I still wouldn't get any journeymen use this season to get mowatt and Napoleon, murphy and youth ready for next, despite position think were Still building something better than can be bought temporarily

I have a season ticket and go to most away games . Cannot believe anyone would want be becchio back . He has no first touch , no pace and scored half his 19 goals from the penalty spot . Chris houghton obviously spotted this and hasn't played him all season. What we need is width and pace . Give the strikers we have some service . Leave a Reply. |
