Holt, C.Martin, Kamara, Lansbury, Wilbraham if he goes to a championship club, there are quite a lot of them around in the championship from our recent history..........

Norfolk Mustard 106 Posted July 6, 2014 Becchio''s arrival always seemed little more than a by-product of Morison''s departure. To this day we have very little idea whether Lucy would be any good in our first team - quite bizarre! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yelloow Since 72 56 Posted July 6, 2014 I think we should keep Becchio, just so he doesn''t ''bite us on the bum''. Even Suarez doesn''t stoop that low! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Newton 0 Posted July 6, 2014 The only way he will ever leave is if we pay up his contract as no one will give him the wages we payWhy do you think he sat on the bench or in the stand for 18mths without complainingMONEY Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Silly me thought it was Hughton picking him for the squad (so he must have been good enough each week) but then never wanting to play him.And all this time I thought it was the players between themselves who chose to sit on the bench!We got a good deal with the Morrison, but sheer stupidity by the manager to never play a 20 goal striker (at the half way point of a season) when none of your other strikers, or players, could score either!

Hinges on Adams'' attitude towards him and whether he keeps the last choice whatever the circumstances approach. But if Becchio does go this transfer window, it will be us who will have wasted his time and a year and a half of his career that he would rather have been playing. Maybe he wouldn''t have cut it, but with the return he had in the Championship he was entitled to a proper crack of the whip. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yelloow Since 72 56 Posted July 7, 2014 Becchio should fit reasonably with the attacking football Adams is setting out, at least some of the time. His lack of pace could be a problem for a 4-3-3, but if City play 4-4-2 at home there should be chances. It''s beginning to look thin if we lose both Becchio and Hooper (who didn''t travel back with the team yesterday). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
It's Character Forming 1,204 Posted July 7, 2014 That goal he scored for Leeds when we drew at Elland Road in our promotion season was top drawer. So I for one would be very disappointed if he''s back with them and would fully expect him to score against us. But if he''s not willing to give it a go under the new manager, or NA is determined to let him go, then we''ll just have to live with it I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
