Ashley Posted 25 July 2012 Share Posted 25 July 2012 People calling to sell this bloke are mad Our only recognised striker with quality would be nugent which is a risk for a promotion chasing team. Vardy is unproven, waghorn can't shoot and Futacs is a hold up man not an out and out goalscorer.. Schlupp will go on loan. Need to leave the strikers as it is an utilise them all depending on the opposition.. Don't you realise what is said on Foxestalk by posters is gospel? Scoring goals against lower league sides and in the cup don't count. Beckford is terrible and needs to be sold ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARM1968 Posted 25 July 2012 Share Posted 25 July 2012 Exactly - Beckord and Nugent ARE out top strikers. With Beckford in the squad we have much more of a chance of scoring the goals we need. Anyone seriously suggesting we offload Beckford must be mad or deluded. He is quality. Bookies aren't stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark_w Posted 25 July 2012 Share Posted 25 July 2012 Anyone seriously suggesting we offload Beckford must be mad or deluded. He is quality. He has done nothing to suggest he's any better than Nugent or Waghorn at this level, and his wages are no doubt insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teeno Posted 25 July 2012 Share Posted 25 July 2012 Little beckford is my favourite. Less than ten miles to the racecourse! One of the last vilages you pass on the way, can't help but get a little excited when ever I drive through haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Lowe Posted 25 July 2012 Share Posted 25 July 2012 If we keep people on his sort of wages there will be no club before long. The only way you could keep a player on that money would be if they were a certain bet to fire you to the Premier. Beckford is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark_w Posted 25 July 2012 Share Posted 25 July 2012 Except score more goals than Waghorn At this level, as in the Championship, as in the division in which Waghorn has scored more goals than Beckford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must be losing it then, I,m sure Waggy has only scored 19 goals in his career of which 12 were in League 1 and Becks scored 9 league goals last seson for us?

Deucalion Posted 27 July 2012 Share Posted 27 July 2012 Beckford is again 'ill' and not in the squad for Shrewsbury. How popular would Warnock be in Leeds if some of the Snodgrass money brought Beckford back to Elland Road? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpjfox Posted 27 July 2012 Share Posted 27 July 2012 im sure NP realises that in Beckford (ok in the right mood) we have potentially the leagues top scorer, a view shared by the bookies who have him clear favourite to finish Championship top scorer Beks/Vardy/Nuge 123=prem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col city fan Posted 27 July 2012 Share Posted 27 July 2012 Wish people would stop saying this without a scrap of evidence or even a decent arguement for why they think that. You're pissing in the wind Mark. Beckford came to the club with people having made up their minds about how great he was going to be even before he joined. Essentially he's had one season, playing alongside Becchio when he was literally scoring for fun. His record since has been poor (just look at his stats). However, and here's the paradox, even I think he can bang em in if given exactly the right sort of service. This isn't really based upon how I've seen him play. Last season, apart from a couple of super performances (against Borough and Forest) he was pretty much pants. But sometimes with a player you get a gut feeling that he can really turn it on. I think many on the forum share that gut feeling. I hope I'm correct... Can so many on here really be wrong? I hope not and I think the first few games, if he plays of course, will indicate the season he has to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is the only player last season to score more than one goal a match on 4 occasions so he that in his locker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark_w Posted 27 July 2012 Share Posted 27 July 2012 Can so many on here really be wrong? They have been before I think Nugent can do what people expect of him 'with the right service', so could Vardy given his obvious ability as a finisher, so in my opinion could Fryatt. Beckford was brilliant in League One, so was Matty and people on here don't rate him. I could accept him as a decent/good Championship striker and want him to stay if his wages weren't so, frankly, worryingly high. Happy Fox, we're talking about if he can do it in the Championship, half of the games you are talking about came in the cup one against League Two Swindon, and one against an awful Forest side who had a CM at CB. Beckford did a brilliant job for Leeds in League One because they 'Played a style that suited him', but how many seasons did it take them to get out of the third division? I don't think playing a certain way just to accommodate one player is a sensible approach myself, and I certainly didn't see enough last season to be convinced he's a £30,000 a week striker. I'd love to share everyone's optimism and I hope I'm wrong (So long as he remains a Leicester player), obviously he'll get my support but I honestly think some people rate him so highly purely because of his reputation which came as a result of playing for Leeds (Lets face it Fryatt did just as well in League One and he didn't get a move to Everton) and partly as a result of it becoming popular to like players who don't work hard just because they score goals (Yakubu). That's fine if they do score goals at the rate he did, but Beckford didn't do either very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to give him a chance 15 goals in your first season isn't bad, obviously he can do better and I believe he can with the right service and him believing in his own ability because he has it, obviously if all the fans show their support his confidence will grow.

Mark_w Posted 27 July 2012 Share Posted 27 July 2012 We need to give him a chance 15 goals in your first season isn't bad. I'm not being drawn into this debate again. No doubt we did see some glimpses and as I said, he will get my full support as every Leicester player does if he starts next season, and as he did last season.
