Luciano Beechio SIGNS!

By: j | Comments No Comments

Paul Fletcher of the BBC recently put out a fine article on Leeds, “Will Leeds march on to promotion?” that is definitely something you don’t want to miss out on. As the news came out of Luciano Becchio’s signing to a Leeds United contract, I immediately knew how this crisply fit in his story and [...]

signing of Luciano Beechio close

By: j | Comments No Comments

In the continuing saga of Luciano Beechio, Gary McAllister commented that he believes a permanent deal with his Spanish club, Mérida Unión Deportiva, is imminent. This is a important deal for Leeds as it’ll firmly lock down the position but also hopefully go a long way to improving ties to clubs outside of England that [...]

Darlington friendly

By: j | Comments No Comments

The final nil-score draw against League Two Darlington is somewhat indicative of a quiet, uninspired encounter. Of note, Jermaine Beckford returned to action after a short spell injured and new signing Robert Snodgrass saw his first action for Leeds, narrowly missing a header into the net. For the most part, excluding a brief encounter Leeds [...]

Luciano Beechio update

By: j | Comments No Comments

Now this is starting to look like Luciano Beechio blog now isn’t it? Well, that’s fine with me. He’s a special talent that is rare to see after the clubs financial collapse and many bridges were burnt. Unfortunately he’s going to be a lot rarer to see if a deal isn’t worked out shortly. His [...]

Gary McAllister is readying to announce the verdict on Striker Luciano Beechio who has been on trial with the club for the last week. I haven’t beaten around the bush around this one at all because the

a solid win against Barnet

By: j | Comments No Comments

Whilst Jermaine Beckford and Bradley Johnson took the day off with minor injuries, Leeds strode firmly onto a another pre-season victory, this time 2-0 over Barnet.
A number of things became abundantly clear in this match, most obvious is how precisely Gary McAllister is going to manage to give Fabian Delph enough time and for that [...]

Jack Hobbs to Leicester City

By: j | Comments 2 Comments

First off, I know, this is not a Leicester City blog but I feel something needed to be said as this has received very little note, too little notice and I’m annoyed. I suppose everyone in the footy world is too concerned over the debutantes and deals of epic proportions and has forgotten about the [...]

Robert Snodgrass signs

By: j | Comments No Comments

Leeds just announced the signing to Livingstone’s top shelf Striker, Robert Snodgrass to a three-year contract. Young Mr. Snodgrass had been highly sought after by a wide selection of top-flight clubs after putting ten goals into the net for the Scottish First Division club.

With his role diminishing, twenty-six year-old Striker Anthony Elding has moved to Crewe Alexandra for an undisclosed amount. With the arrival of Argentinian striker Luciano Becchio and Gary McAllister’s desire to add another Striker the handwriting was on the wall for Anthony. We wish him the best of luck and know he’ll be a solid [...]
