    Becchio - Leicester are struggling in the midfield for feeding their strikers - and they don't have enough decent strikers.

    Becchio, simply because we will score more generally. McCormack and Luc will both be up in the top 5/10 IMO.

    Becchio, simply because Beckford needs someone like him around to get the best out of himself where Becchio has grown without Beckford <ok>

    Love Becks though.

    and to think so many Leeds fans wanted McCormack nowhere near the pitch last season. The kid has done good so far this season, almost like his Cardiff days <ok>

    I actually said every time he was on the pitch he was showing glimpses of quality, just due to injury and other players he wasn't getting enough game time. At the end of last season I said he's gunna be in double figures this season. he's half way there after 6 games, not bad.

    I also said he showed potential last season, especially towards the tail end. However with the way the rest of the attack were playing he was never going to get a sustained run in the side.

    Probably Becchio. Either way he contributes far more to the overall team performance than Beckfor

    FWIW I would say Becchio as well. He is a very talented player with an eye for goal. Can we have him in January please :grin:

    No. We only give you average players. What about Andy O'Brien?

    Tell thee what lad, Brad Johnson has been very good for us so far. Looks the part in our midfield but his shooting is still pants <laugh>
    Having said that, he hit a screamer yesterday that was only maybe 4" over the bar <ok>

    I rated BJ highly and still do. Saw that shot, right thunderbolt!

    He is an unsung part of the team but does the ****ty stuff and is a big aerial presence in the middle as well.

    He will get you a few goals this season Canary, a good buy from you lot.

    Oh, and Becchio and McCormack are going to be lethal together now. Shame the fooking defence is as **** as usual.

    We're missing Johnson this season. Our midfield is tiny, can't win a header but Johnson was massive and great in the air. He was viable for 5 goals last season as well as playing the DM role well. A midfield 3 of him, Howson and Clayton would have been great.

    As for the Becchio/Beckford thing - if Beckford is given the chances by Leicester midfield he'll finish with more goals, but Becchio will have more of an impact for Leeds allround.

    Your having a laugh!!! It will be Beckford and the one who scores the most goals will surely have the biggest impact for the team.

    I'd rather have Becchio any time, a much better player than Beckford

    I'd have to go with Becchio and not just because he is leeds. He is a much more all round player and contributes more to a team by being on the pitch. As has already been said here Beckford's good, but needs the right service otherwise he goes missing.

    Not really since Becchio will get a fair number of assists and also works great as a third centreback. Saved our skins on more than one occassion. Becchio is a more influencial player all round. If you can get a midfield sorted Beckford will be lethal. Shame Sven seems to have overlooked wingers altogether <laugh>

    i reckon beckford will score more goals than becchio however becchio i think will have a bigger impact. I think a better one to compare is beckford and mccormack, who will get more goals and i think both will get 20+ this season
