On Leeds official site, he has handed in a transfer request following two unsuccessful bids from overseas clubs.
For those who enjoy this sort of thing, I suggest they hone their "never liked him / carthorse anyway / hoofball / Argentinians can't be trusted / we' d be better off with an honest player like Varney" routines As for me, I am off to get drunk somewhere quiet
I started a thread, can someone merge it into this one, thanks. I won't be taking part for a while, too depressed
He won't go to Wigan, only abroad, and supposedly we'd only sell him if the offer is acceptable. I say hold on to him anyway until summer unless someone fancies paying £5m+.
I hope the club stand firm and don't sell him for peanuts. He might think he can get more money else where but let's only sell if we get a very good offer.
Whos surprised. Its been obvious for weeks what would happen in January if people would only get their heads out of the sand. He's been a great servant and I wish him well wherever he goes. First money into gfh coffers. Probably an undisclosed fee which will be 2 million at most
Precisely this. I'd rather hold on to him until summer when we have the opportunity to find a proper replacement and not panic into selling him now and panic into signing someone that won't improve the team.
If we get decent money n go out n buy a replacement I will be happy. We have done a lot for him and he has done a lot for us let him go and persue his career
Boggers accused me of being a bullshitting twat last week. Sorry I didn't get the date exactly right Boggers! But I hate I told you so, but I TOLD YOU SO! I am not a WUM & don't post things for the sake of it! MOT - with or without Luciano. Maybe that's why we are getting linked with Max Gradel again?????

Yes, we cant pay Becchio's wage demands but can pay Max's. Like hell we can. Elland Road should look good with 14k at home matches
Does make you wonder whether the Gradel stuff was just a smokescreen to soften fans up before this announcement. Maybe we're going to swap him for Tevez
Tell clubs it is £5m or he goes nowhere we have him on an 18 month contract, we don't need to sell him till the summer. We could all see it coming, Blackstock is on the verge of signing a new Forest deal so I wonder what decrepit pony Warnock has lined up...
BYL, you said that he'd be gone by the weekend. He wasn't. He played. You didn't mention anything in your "fact" about Becchio going to a foreign club. Law of averages says that if you say regularly enough that someone's going to be leaving, you're bound to be right sooner rather than later. Heyho, so we've rejected two bids. Let's hope that if/when we accept a bid, the mone is invested immediately in a quality replacement.
