AS SG has stated JB is a natural and he wants to keep him but also do whats right for our football club. Its not fifa10 where you replace a player with another, this is reality. This is football. This is Leeds United. In SG I trust because i have to. p.s tss you seem to understand that this is a business so if you were JB and you were not getting offered the going rate would you not want to go? We dont know the facts of what deal he is on and what he is offered. You automaticaly side with Bates angel on this. Remember Ridsdale? . Blind following of him led us where. And with Bates what has happened to TA amonsgt other things. Who owns our club? I think a lot of this Beckford hate is latent and repressed anger which should be directed elsewhere. You lot give Bates such an easy ride. He must be laughing. im very glad that SG is our manager and none of you lot who clearly lack in understanding of football and goalscorers.

There's some quality strikers around that would love to play for Leeds, such as Hooper, Sharp and Jackson and they'd all get the job done. Beckford wants out, so it's silly to keep him.

Admittedly very harsh on the lad who looked like a good prospect in the reserves, but mine is more a comment aimed at Nick Rubery than Ollie Hotchkiss. PS - to Jonathan Webb, Josh Falkingham and Ollie Hotchkiss, best of luck in your future careers, it wasn't meant to be at Leeds but many youngsters have left leeds without ever playing for the first team and gone on to achieve great things elsewhere Footballing mix of Beckham and Gerrard…so “won’t ever beat a man for pace or trickery, won’t outmuscle anybody, will spend all his time looking for killer 60 yard passes rather than the simple 5-yard pass to the man in space, won’t use his left foot or head, will think he’s bigger than the team and shirk anything resembling a tackle…but can at least take a half-decent free kick and corner.”

I didn't realise Hotchkiss was already 21 either. I just thought the timing of Hotchkiss's release was a bit strange - 24 hours after Rubery announces that he's got Hotchkiss on his books and reckons he's better than a Beckham-cum-Gerrard - ie. infinitely better than Beckford too ("so watch out Leeds I'm going to be a bigger thorn in your side soon enough"). Letting Hotchkiss go on a free is a great way to say 'Fuck you, Rubery. You don't have a clue about football and we'll do our best to blank you'. And a free transfer signing to Mansfield can hardly have brought about a bumper pay day for Rubery! It's a cynical take on Hotchkiss's release admittedly, and obviously the Leeds coaching staff had it in mind to release him anyway, and perhaps only the timing of it was brought forward to make any sort of statement of intent to Rubery.

If Bates was making those sort of footballing decisions Grayson wouldn't stick around. Might be better if Beckford buggers off so he can't influence any other youngsters to sign up with his idiot agent.

He's desperate to join Newcastle this window as he thinks we will have changed our targets once in the Prem. Would you guys accept £2m?

He’s desperate to join Newcastle this window as he thinks we will have changed our targets once in the Prem.

Would you guys accept £2m?
