Jermaine Beckford Set For Leeds Return?
Reports coming out of the Midlands suggest that former Leeds United striker has been told by current club Leicester City that he is free to look for another club.The news, if true, is bound to fuel rumours of a return to Leeds United.Beckford left Leeds two years ago to join Everton on a free transfer. Having scored ten goals in all competitions he subsequently joined Leicester in August 2011 in deal reported to be £4m.Beckford was a key figure in Leeds' promotion from League One, scoring 31 goals for the Elland Road outfit in the 2009/10 campaign - the most memorable of which was probably an FA Cup winner against Manchester United at Old Trafford.With Leeds United manager Neil Warnock confirming that a striker is next on his hit list of incoming players and with the future of current striker Ross McCormack still unresolved,expect the speculation linking Beckford with a return to mount.

ReplyDeletecome on back to leeds MOT
ReplyDeletecmon becks , come back to leeds
ReplyDeleteAve you all gone mad ??
ReplyDeleteFair play to him his last goal in are shirt got us promoted but fuck him we dont want him after the way he treat us last time givin it the big un cos he scored against scum and thinkin he was better than leeds united !
Fuck you beckford, you knew leeds was the best club in the division but you thought best dint ya ? Now look where you are, back in the division that made you, you fuckin prick !
Go rot in leicesters reserves for me cunt face your not welcome in my eyes.
Quite a grown up comment then you idiot
DeleteIts my opinion on the cunt so fuck you, suck my bollocks to you too ya fuckin penis.
DeleteMe & many think beckford is wank
Pretty sure beckford made his name in league one? Before playing for Leicester he hasn't really had a tilt at the championship, don't think you can blame him for having a go at making it in the premier league and to be fair 10 goals isn't a bad return considering he rarely got a run in the team, football is a buisness and if beckford came back and scored 20 goals to gain promotion would he still be a 'fucking prick'? Or could he be a fucking prick that's just doing a job? If you were offered a job for double your pay would you say no just because your boss and work mates really like you? Anyway, in order to lower my own tone a little, it would seem it is you who is the 'fucking penis'
DeleteYou tube his goals then get back to me.
DeleteOutta 31 he scored see how many were good, not including his poached or rebounds ye or from outside the box.
My opinion is my opinion, i dont rate beckford at all, yours is yours, i respect that but dont start givin it the big one calling names and so on divvy
I'd have him back if only for the goals to get us up, don't be a fool and think that he's a prick cos he left us he's a prick, he's a footballer, your the prick for not seeing the bigger picture ! If Rooney wanted to come to Leeds then arse holes like you wouldn't wear it cos he's played for the scum !? Rediculous ! Twats like you should follow the feckin terriers !!
DeleteAlready proved you cant hack it in big time, we dont want you thinkin its all your doing when we do go up this season now go back under the rock you just crawled from under.
ReplyDeleteYou scored 31 goals big deal that was in 1 of the easiest seasons you had, why ? Because you poached others, your no good, you dont play for the team you only think of yourself, you dont defend, your always in the opponents half POACHING !
Watch the striker we do get show you how its done...................Maynard & Mccormack take it away
I am getting a feeling here now call me mr picky but
ReplyDeleteu r not that keen on Beckford?
I agree with you.Putting on that famous White shirt and playing for LEEDS is a pleasure and privelige.
I'm 45 and when I put my Leeds shirt and see that crest fills me with pride.
Snodgrass Howson and Johnson in 2 years time will playing championship football.No disrespect to Norwich either.
We are a massive club and when the takeover is complete and as much as I am not a great fan of Ken Bates I will always be grateful to him for not letting us go out of business.
Correct indeed, BUT look where we are ? Not in the top flight AGAIN, why ? Only batesy will tell you that.
DeleteHe never flashed the cash to provide the team with the fire power we needed or keep the best players we had hence even homegrown talent leaving in the shape of Howson & Johnson.
Beckford was never my pot of tea, he never worked hard enough for the team, never defended, spat his dody out when he was tackled and left leeds afyer scoring against scum utd thinking he was better than us and thought he could take on the biggest division in the world, i'm sorry but you can't beckford now don't expect us to bail you out so when we do go up you can take centre stage then leave again (FOR NORWICH)
any player who gets us up thats what we need.
ReplyDeleteMaynard & boyd fit the bill perfectly
ReplyDeleteThe only way we should take him back is if he is cheap, has moderate wage demands, doesn't expect to be picked every week and accepts a pay per play contract until the end of this season. If we get promoted this season he will be no use to us, for he is not premier league quality, never was and never will be. Quite why Everton bought him from us is something I and many others will never understand. He is average to good championship material who shone as part of a very good squad in League one but that's it. He is lazy, petulant and not committed.
ReplyDeleteDo I want him back?
Nah mate, there's far better out there
Finally someone who agrees with me.
DeleteHe was good but not in premiership only at lower league level. FACT !
Plenty more fish in the sea and quality who can & want to play for us.
Respect to this man.
WE R LEEDS
Has anyone else heard of the news conference on Friday at 1pm?
ReplyDeleteIm glad I'm not the only Leeds fan that hates Beckford with a passion. The way he treated us and the club was disgusting many a Saturday you could see him strutting around the pitch like he was god. If it wasn't for Becchio he would have struggled to get 10 goals that season and let's be honest he did need around 5 chances before he would put one in the back of the net!!!
ReplyDeletePlease don't sign him I'd rather see Chappie Brolin brought back!!!!
Beckford... good in League 1... average in the championship... struggled in the premiership. I'd be very surprised if Colin would take back a player with his me me me attitude!
ReplyDeleteTotal bighead , got to move on from players and people who think they are the dogs , I would imagine once David Moyes spotted the surly , bad attitude his days at Goodison were over . My dream like everyone else's is that the takeover is a new and exciting start but either way we have to have the right attitude on the pitch. All great clubs have traditions and I believe our best days in different decades has been with committed players and I think we will get there again but we must try and follow that tradition as that's what we want to see and that's when it seems to work for us. Would also love to know how many times Leeds United takeover has been googled in last 2 months !!!!
ReplyDeleteIf he helps to get us up, then we turn around at the end of the season and sell him to 'The Rangers' he'll be good in Scotland lol
ReplyDeleteI don't care about him, Howson (home grown talent & he still a sell out) or any other ex-players. In my eyes they are all shite because it takes more than just playing for Leeds, you got to love Leeds no matter what and those kind of players are very, very hard to find.
I'm just hoping the takeover happens sooner rather than later so we get back to where we belong.
MOT
Since when does it become necessary for a player to pledge alliegiance to LUFC for life when he plays for us?
ReplyDeleteSome of you 'morons' need to get a grip on reality.
Beckford gave us some of the best moments in recent memory - all you lot give him back is shit.
I'm starting to recognise that "FACT" in a post stands for "Fucking Assholes Can Type".
What a knob head !
DeleteU obviously have no idea my friend how sad that you can type having said that u probably got someone to do it for you.
ReplyDeleteIt's an honour to play for Leeds.
Well thanks buddy for your FACT
ReplyDeleteThe only problem with this is that you have just typed your comment.
But well done you.
Grow up saddo its about leeds united not slagging each other off, some like beckford some dont, each to there own and all that yeah ?
DeleteNow pipe down
You know the problem boys, we've watched so much crap at ER we've forgotten what good football is. I can't belive some on here think Beckford's good, but thats how far our standards have dropped. Beckford loves Beckford, end of. He's too far up himself, he's lazy, bone bloody idle yet he thought he was Leeds utd. Hes done sod all since he left so he can't be that good, my oppinion has always been he was never much good to begin with. Anyway it looks like McCormack will be staying, so sod beckford.
ReplyDeleteBig respect to this man right here, very very very well said
DeleteThank you.
DeleteNow wheres the knob head who was arguing with me before about this ??
DeleteNowhere to be seen as per usual the gob shite, well heres someone else for you to start with if you fancy the debate bellend
Why is it u always get people who have appeared on Jeremy Kyle on football forums.Lol Regarding Beckford I agree he too much of sulk.Plus I can't see Warnock signing him anyway.Like Mackail-Smith of Brighton he s quality player.Do fancy us going up though this year.Marching on together.........
ReplyDeleteTo be hoped your not refering to me about jeremy kyle ! Ha
DeleteAnswer to the guy belows comment is yes, i am passionate, VERY.
I dont rate beckford and will have the slang match anytime with anyone over beckford, to put it politely BECKFORD IS SHIT.............FULLSTOP !!! No arguements.
His 31 goal tally was playing against weak opposition, cant play premiership footie mor championship, league 1 beckford is your stomping ground, next bus is via norwich now fuck off !!
I dont think hes jeremy kyle material, hes just passionate thats all, as we all are. Sod Beckford,lets get MS, he would be good with McCormack in my opinion, and if they get the service, and with the team thats being asembled they will, then we will go up this season, as i said before we are so used to watching crap, weve got used to it,we've forgot how good we should be, we are Leeds.
ReplyDeleteAshley Cole is available on a free soon and i think he is a better left winger than left back , get him running down the wing at ER and with big Carroll and Beckord just behind I think we would fly up the leagues , but we need to make sure that players like Cole appreciate who we are
