T4E Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 Pretty unlikely Falkirk or St Johnstone were ever seriously in for Scott McDonald. It probably is a player that he's tried for with Burnley, possibly someone young on loan that we're now trying to do a permanent deal for.

tashor Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 Tugay owns a Black Bentley So does Benni McCarthy - massive chrome wheels and plenty of bling. Surprised Ince didn't try playing him on the right wing. Could have called him Bling Crossby........
Iceman Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 I wonder if we will make some inquiry, about Luca Toni. The guy is talented, and might attract bigger clubs, but i wonder if we can do business once more with Bayern. Seems like the Roque signing, he is surplus to requirements as they have just signed Olic and Mario Gomes.
The Rover of Finland Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 Nicko, are Rovers interested in Matthew Bates? Any clue will Sam be in France this weekend? I wonder if they like him in Marseille..
nicko Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 Nicko, are Rovers interested in Matthew Bates? Any clue will Sam be in France this weekend? I wonder if they like him in Marseille.. Bates was fancied by Wigan...but their manager is heading elsewhere. Will check on Sam's movements.
The Rover of Finland Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 Steve Bruce is a funny guy. I bet Sunderland pays him a pound more than Wigan.
hi-jaq Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 Steve Bruce is a funny guy. I bet Sunderland pays him a pound more than Wigan. HAHAHAHAHAHA... very funny, could be true!!!
farhanology Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adel_Taarabt ? sounds about right
Anti-Dingle-Brigade Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 He isn't a bad player, he's just had a lot of back luck. I wouldn't be too disappointed if we went for him.
ni_rover Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 Beckford and Tuncay would be my top targets to be honest!
tony gale's mic Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 Beckford and Tuncay would be my top targets to be honest! No thanks. Beckford...just no, Leeds fans don't even think he's that good. Tuncay is a decent player but not for the fee and wages that he'd command.
ni_rover Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 He scored 30+ goals so he must surely be someone who knows where the net is!
Iceman Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 He scored 30+ goals so he must surely be someone who knows where the net is! In league 1 yes!
Billy Castell Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 Isn't Beckford a bit of a big head though? I wonder if Lambert is any cop? Scored tonnes of goals for an average team. Or indeed this Simon Cox chap who is in demand right now?
duffbear Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 Is there any possibility to sign Obafemi Martins who I believe is a quality player with a lot of pace. He would be perfect to have in a 4-3-3 role on the wing. Also Sam has worked with Kevin Nolan but he's on a new contract and would be expensive. Sam told me personally after the Portsmouth game that he was going to Newcastle v Middelsborugh to watch Martins and Beye
Eddie Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 The only thing with Martins is the doubt about his age. Good player though and would be a source of pace.
Anti-Dingle-Brigade Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 Martins could be the ideal foil for Benni imo, how much space would they create between them? EDIT: Oh yeah, Martins can't hit a barn door. Maybe not. I think there could be something in the Taarabt thing. He's quite an exciting player to watch.
Iceman Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 Martins could be the ideal foil for Benni imo, how much space would they create between them? ADB, do we have to take into consideration Benni's belly? Might not be any space left :-) Still think we need a pacey forward, and a creative midfielder because we just seem too slow going forward.
ni_rover Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 Beckford case closed. Your right. Lets just sign Messi!
Hughesy Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 Beckford is poor - if he was good enough, a championship team would of snapped him up by now, never mind Premierleague. The only lad at Leeds with a really bright future is that young midfielder Fabian Delph.
LeChuck Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 I think plenty of Championship clubs (and possibly even a few Premiership ones) have shown an interest in Beckford before, but he was waiting to see if Leeds could get promoted first. Now that they've missed out again he's leaving. Every so often there are players who rise through the leagues to become a good top level players, Kevin Phillips is the best recent one I can think of without resorting to research. Beckford looks like he has all the raw tools and he can finish, depending on the price I wouldn't mind him coming in as a replacement for Derbyshire.
arealbrfcfan Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 I'll settle for Karim Benzema and Messi up front next season;) . If United don't snap them both up. You gotta laugh its good when you can buy the player who scores against you, best form of defence i reckon...like they did with Tevez and Saha
ni_rover Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 Nothing to do with the fact that im Northern Irish, but I reckon Chris Brunt would be a great signing. He has had a fairly good season personally and he looked the part at Ewood. He could have scored a great goal too only for Robbo to match his effort. Anyone agree at all?
Iceman Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 Matías Fernández. Joey Barton 50 mill Euro's clause in Fernandez contract, no thank you then. Jeez, where do these clubs get their valuations from!
