Have to agree with Proud re Bert. He just seems to repeat very rumour he reads and so bound to get some right but consequently, also gets quite a bit wrong.
Right according to him we sold Sol Bamba, signed Jimmy Kebe, Beckford was never going to come, Maynard was signing, Nigel was after Jelavic, Lee Clark and Kevin Keegan was out new managers and on Friday Matt Mills officially signed for Leeds Thinking back what news has he ever broken first, he just comments on rumours and jumps the gun and gets some right and some wrong Well done to him though as he has fooled alot of people, just see how many followers he has on twitter
We were utterly crap in that game, it's our only really poor performance in the league this season, hopefully we'll redeem ourselves next week. Have you picked your watering hole yet?
Nigel said after the Watford defeat that if he hears anyone talk about the season being over their will be massive repercussions for that person, and since then Matt Mills has been frozen out. Is that just a coincidence or is there more to it Lots of stupid rumours on twitter with some saying he had a fight with Richie Wellens and others saying he headbutted Nigel Pearson. I dont believe either
Matt Mills is better then all of your centre halfs put together. He just cant pass and has an ego problem thats it. Apart from that he is a top class defender
Proud, none of your CBs are as good as Tom Lees, next you will be telling me Schmeichels better than Lonergan and Beckfords better than McCormack
Apart from Mills, Bamba, Morgan, St. Ledger and Tunchev. I have had enough of the Schmeichel> Lonergan debate and Beckford is better then McCormack, im pretty sure 99.99% of the Leeds fans would agree
Yes Beckford is better than McCormack, which is why he's scored a massive 3 league goals to McCormack's puny 15, not to mention McCormack's got twice as many assists. FFS even Becchio's scored more than twice as many and he's been either ****e or injured all season. And Lees is a class above any young centre back in the division, the problem is we've only got mediocrity at best to partner him.
Lees is quality and you havent seen him to know if he is or not, IMO Ross is better than Beckford, Beckford needs 5 chances to score and Ross needs 2, just the fact that we aren't creating enough chances for Ross to score, if he got as many chances as Beckford did in a Leeds shirt he would be bagging 30 a year easy
McCormack has had 1 good season at Cardiff and one good one now. Beckford banged in 30 goals year on year for you in league 1 and then was Evertons top scorer last season as a bit part player. 1 good season doesnt make him a better player then Beckford, although Torres has been crap this year would you say McCormack is better then him? None of our centre halfs are young. They are all around 25-28 years old. All approaching their prime. Lees does look good but he wouldnt get on our bench. In a few years time he will be a prem player, but in the summer Ken Bates will sell him for peanuts.
Proud Ross takes less chances to score, I would say Leeds United are more of a hinderence to him to be honest because he doesnt get many chances, If he went to a club in the prem that created lots of chances he would score lots of goals. Beckford is a class player and will always be a legend at Leeds but he always took a lot of chances to score and he is a massive confidence player.
Beckford is a goalscorer pure and simple. McCormack is someone who like to drop off and play off the midfield. Beckford had an awful start here but past 10 games we are starting to see the real Beckford. Im pretty sure there wont be much between McCormack and Beckford at the end of the season.
McCormack's had 2 seasons in between his 2 goalscoring seasons, one in which he was played on the wing and another in which he barely played and then found his form at the end of the season. IMO Beckford will never score as many goals in the Championship as McCormack has.
