New Striker

It's becchio

It bloody better be Macprawn - on the basis of your post I've just paid to have his name put on the back of my home shirt!

Becchio :sexwee:

Though would Leeds sell him?
More likely to be Paynter I would guess.

Don't mean to be negative, but I just can't see us getting anyone. Too many summers supporting the Albion I guess. I know things are different now but I'm just too used to being told we will get someone by the deadline and we never do!

But now we are top of the championship, and have Gus (and Tony) so things have never been looked better for getting players in.

I thought Becchio was injured and out for some while ? We wouldn't be signing someone like that for big money and Davide Somma has a cruciate injury so wouldn't be him either

Andy Naylor just tweeted saying 1 is almost certainly coming in, and a second is possible but one may be leaving in the near future.

We've missed out on a perfect Brighton signing here !
BBC Sport - Accrington Stanley sign Colchester's Tom Bender on loan

A double swoop

It's becchio

Tarrico, Argentian connection

Hmmm interesting... Type in Luciano Becchio Brighton into Google. Look at third address down... Player profiles from OS, listing Becchio....

One leaving is a surprise, Sparrow if we get another midfielder ?, Bergkamp ?

Rather than Austin or Afobe?

God I hope it isn't Rhodes. He barely even plays for Huddersfield.

he has got more than 20 goals per season in the last 2 seasons, and he had some underlying fatigue inducing condition, which seems to be sorted.

have a read what the Hud fans think this season on their 6ft 1, 20 goal a season striker.

player + cash deal?

Hope it's not Barnes on the way out.

I think if Ken Bates sanctioned the sale of Bechio then there would be riots around Ellend Road. I cant for 1 minute believe that its him. If it is a Leeds player, then certainly it will be Paynter. If it is Paynter and I suspect it is, then I really would be disapointed. Paynter has done nothing at Leeds and other clubs except 1 season with Swindon (and that was on the back of Charlie Austin). There are much much better players out there.

Somma is out for yonks. I know that Gradel is the subject of bids from Forest and others, but he doesn't fit the bill. So I think Macprawn is having us on.

Jordan Rhodes would be a good call - but I think Its Paynter.

Third entry down...! Strange. Seems Macprawn may be correct...

Perkino posted this news about one leaving yesterday on Nsc

How many more will we sign before the transfer deadline?

Negative. Paynter smashed 28 goals when Swindon got to play offs. Yes it hasn't worked at Leeds but GP can get players playing above what they should do. . . el abd for example. Paynter also would be happy to be on the bench and work to get in the team.

We are not desperate for a striker so this sounds a good deal to me

 

[peterward]

Hope it's not Barnes on the way out.

wern't Bristol City interested in Barnes a while back? With Maynard so heavily linked everywhere, if he goes they will need replacement.

would be weird next match to see Barnes in Bristol City shirt.......

The whole transfer deadline thing feels like one massive house selling chain, where everybody needs to buy something else before they will sell.

Mmmm......that is odd!

We've had this happen many times before, it means nothing. Type in a number of players and they'll appear, I remember Michael Owen and Kevin Phillips did once.

Edit: Kevin Phillips still appears at top of page if you do the same search.
