I know this will seem a bit odd coming from me, as i'm a Leeds fan, but how over rated is he?

Yes, he does get a lot of goals, but have you noticed how many complete sitters it takes him to score one goal? From watching Leeds play quite a lot on TV recently and from going to see them play Southampton, i've come to the conclusion that he's very much a headless chicken.

He has a terrible first touch on the ball and he's completely arrogant. He misses so many clear cut chances it's surreal and he often loses the ball in the box because he's too greedy and never see's the oppertunity to pass to a team mate.

I've heard that Newcastle, amongst other championship/premier league sides are after him and it makes me wonder if they actually watch him play or do they just want him from the scorelines? Sure he looks good in league one because he's playing against rubbish defenders and even then he makes a mare of most of his chances anyway. In the championship he'd be a completely different player, he'd be up against faster, better defenders and he'd look half as good as he does now, then again in the premiership he'd look even worse.

what do you think?

Hey, if he scores goals, that's all you need from a striker.

Hey, if he scores goals, that's all you need from a striker.

he doesn't always score goals though? he scores one in about 5 or 6 chances. He's just fast and can out run league one defenders. What i'm saying is his pace won't get him anywhere in higher leagues cause the defenders will be just as fast as him.

Think your right, he'd be an average championship striker at best.

Leeds have much more exciting talent than him.

Grainger@CUFC
01-01-2010, 08:09 PM
I'd agree with the arrogance. However, he's constantly one of the top scorers in the league, that's why he gets so much attention. Goals are what teams want, not goal:chance ratio necessarily.

Tell me about it babe. Cash in on him now and you'll still get promoted anyway. Got one of those annoying faces too :(

AgnesIO
01-01-2010, 08:23 PM
Indeed he is overated.

Funny when Orient played Leeds last year (can't remember this years results, as didn't travel to Leeds, but last year I don't seem to remember him being flash. And considering Orient being described as a 'pub league one team' surely he should shine?

As brandon said, Leeds should cash in on him in January, then watch him flop in the Championship.

On another note, good luck on getting promoted - you deserve it x

01-01-2010, 09:35 PM
Please do not tell this to my Leeds supporting friend as he thinks that he's better than Torres - seriously!

Oh and by the way, no scouts read this, no point in putting us off him because of the transfer window is there. :)

leah
02-01-2010, 01:40 AM
lmao thats what I was doing ger :( you got me!!
Nah its actually something i've noticed.
Yeah people want goals, but hes only capable of scoring those goals in league one, not in a higher league, and he takes loads of chances to get them. For every goal he scores he misses about 5.

Plus, people are planning on offering 2m, which we wouldn't do. If he helped us get promotion, even if he went on a free in the summer we'd make loads of money.

League One - a God
Championship - pretty good
Premiership - dog****e.

leah
02-01-2010, 11:30 AM
exactly my point, i'm greatful to him for all that he's helped us with but when push comes to shove he isn't as great as he thinks he is. And if people like Newcastle are after him who are pretty much guaranteed promotion then it makes me wonder what they've been watching?

adaym
02-01-2010, 11:51 AM
thing is though, he's priceless in league one.

like simon cox when he was at swindon. simeon jackson at gillingham. maynard at crewe etc etc. priceless in league one and all looking for deals at bigger clubs and cox/maynard both got them and cox doesn't start but maynard's doing alright i guess.

you can't argue with his scoring record though. getting in the right positions and getting all the chances in a skill in itself. i do agree that he wouldn't be good in the premier league. in my eyes he's a championship footballer.

leah

yeah it does, if you've actually seen him play then you'd know.
He does score, but so do many other people in the team, Becchio, Snodgrass, they might not score as often as him but Becchio is close and he is quite consistant. Beckford tends to have games where he scores loads (mainly against poorer opposition) and then he has others where he's absolutely dier.

Most of the time when he scores he scores more than one in a game, and if you look you'd see that he tends to score a lot against the poorer sides. Again you need to see him play rather than just check the score to see what i'm talking about. He has little skill and is very prone to mistakes, he just seems to be in the right place at the right time frequently. As for "getting all the chances" that's not true at all, Becchio gets a lot of chances too, and you can't say getting chances is a skill if he misses most of them.

Immenseman
02-01-2010, 02:40 PM
it is a skill, football is about the positions you work and if he manages to create so many changes by getting in all the right postitions, then that's a skill. how come becchio doesn't have the same record as beckford then? also, they were talking about him on SSN earlier and they were saying he seems to score a lot of crucial goals, either breaking the deadlock or scoring in the last 10 minutes. i don't watch him or leeds and know what you're saying but his record is good and when you're an attacker you're judged on how much you score

Yeah you are judged on your scoring record, and his is impressive, i'm not denying that if you read what i've said. What i'm saying is he's a lazy player, he expects things to be handed to him on a plate and if he actually tried harder instead of mouthing off at the other players (which is what he does most of the time) his record could be amazing. In league one his scoring is great, in the championship it would be average if that, in the premiership it would be non existant.

Leeds always have been good at scoring in the 5th minute of stoppage time, when the fourth official signalled 3.

They deducted points because your chairman is a crook.

Oh and you can't expect me to like Leeds - they are the second most hated team in the country.

LOL no they're not at all... Unless you've asked every single person in this country which teams they dislike then you can't come to that conclusion, rightly at least.

How would we be in the conference exactly? Please explain... because point deduction is the usual punishment for administration and that's the one we received, like other clubs have also received, or do the FA favour them too? You're talking absolute nonsense, I would appreciate it if you could show some evidence of the FA's alleged favour towards Leeds because at the moment it just seems like your hatred for the club is impairing your judgement.

Come off it everyone knows Manchester United and Leeds United are the two most hated teams in England.

Every league 1, League 2, Championship side and most premiership teams hate Leeds.

Not being rude, but they do. I know Leeds are a very good side, but that is not saying people don't hate them.

Also Leah Ken Bates is a crook, he only got Leeds out of administration by selling the club to HIMSELF for 1p.

I'd disagree with that. You scored well after the allotted time in our play-off semi final first leg, when there was no incident in stoppage time that I can remember :(

:eusa_clap

Going back to Beckford, I'd agree about the levelling up, just like it was said about Jason Scotland. Plus, he's still got a lot of time left in his career, so might still have time to develop into a Premier League player, providing he makes the step up soon.

That's your opinion though Dom? it isn't a fact. I'm sure more clubs dislike chelsea because atm they're higher up and have more publicity to be hated for.

No, people hate united because the FA completely bum them and that's reflected by the way the referees treat them.

How are leeds corrupt? Leeds have an amazing history and have done well to come out of what they've been through fighting, so calling them a disgrace is a load of complete dribble.

They would be wasting their money. He really isn't that good. He scored at lot of goal for leeds but so? That's a league with hardly any World class players. Premier League its a different story.

That goal he scored today, wasn't even special, Brown should of done a lot better really pissed off with him.

nah, we got 8 million for delph and beckford is more valued to us, doubt we'd sell for that low a price, it would be worth it to keep him if he helps us get promoted cause we'll get loads of money from that and he might wanna stay if we're in a higher league. Arsenal wouldn't go for him, you need class to play for them.

That's the price that has been thrown around in the papers. And yeah I suppose there's no point going to perpetual Championship clubs because Leeds are going to be a Championship club. In my opinion, Leeds may end up being a Premiership Club in the next 5 seasons. But Newcastle is an attractive offer of Premiership football next season.

coming from a leeds fan, i'd say hes far better off staying with Leeds for another season (if we get promoted), and playing a season in championship. then he can prove himself in championship and its up to him whether to leave to a premiership team if theres an offer.

leeds debts are cleared now, so money isn't an issue even if we get offered big money for beckford (i still don't think beckford has proved himself worthy for premierleague - he needs a season in championship first). i just hope bates doesn't see pound signs and sells him for a ridiculous amount. we need to get out of leauge one first, and we need beckford for that even at 8 points clear with a game in hand.

i wouldn't bother going to newcastle as they're going straight up and straight back down in my opinion. plus, i think he'd do a david healy (went to fulham a few years back), if he went to newcastle now.

Yeah I see where you're coming from but he won't be played in the premiership because he isn't good enough, like i've said countless times he looks good against league one defenders but championship ones are that extra bit better and quicker and premiership defenders are better still, they'd outplay him and he'd live on the bench.

I don't see the problem with it though, who cares what he does, it doesn't affect you in any way shape or form so you really shouldn't let it wind you up to this extent. Also what he did couldn't have been THAT illegal because it was all in the public eye and if he broke any major law surely he'd be penalised for it?

How sweet it it that you're chucking instructions at me as if I was under your command. I'm not moaning that he's hated, I challenge you to find me be upset that he's hated, I couldn't care less if he's hated or loved as long as what he does is good for the club I support every things fine and dandy as far as i'm concerned. I'm not the one harping on about Ken Bates as though i'm obsessed with him so it's hardly me you need to tell to stop "moaning".

I don't see the problem with it though, who cares what he does, it doesn't affect you in any way shape or form so you really shouldn't let it wind you up to this extent. Also what he did couldn't have been THAT illegal because it was all in the public eye and if he broke any major law surely he'd be penalised for it?

It affects every League 1 fan actually.

He hasn't done a good job for the club.

He got you in millions of pounds of debt, and he only paid that off by being a crooked ******.

Bates got you into WAY more debt.

He got you out of debt by being a crook.

I've said before, I don't care how he got us out, I care that he managed it. If you're going to sit there repeating the same thing over and over again then what's the point of posting in the first place. You seem to be obsessed with Bates because you turned a thread that was about a player to the chairman of the club.

This thread isn't to discuss Bates it's asking for your opinion on BECKFORD so either post that or go and make a thread on Bates and your hatred for him.

Did you know he breached law s216 to get you out of it? Did you also know he is a thiefing, scum bag?

Sorry, I will listen to you now.

1.5 is a bit of a rubbish offer

he can go for free in the summer. either nothing or that. he's only a league one striker too.

I like how now he has scored vs. Man United he thinks he is a world beater, and then straight after the victory he hands in a transfer request. It's obviously gone straight to his head. Idiot.

n'aww it's adorable that you're still attempting to brag about something when you're team lost lol... very optimistic!
Also Brown was all over him yeah, grabbing his shirt and had his arms all around him, as far as i'm aware that's against the rules? Should have been off before half time, just something else that highlights how united are favourted by the FA.

Beckford's not used to being put out of the game, even if it was done by dirty tactics. Something else that backs up my point about how he's not a premiership player. Plus he's 26 and if he was gonna *make it* to that league he would have done by now?
