Happy Fox Posted 30 August 2012 Share Posted 30 August 2012 http://downatthemac.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=72262 I would hope it would be a permanent seeing as they have money from the sale of Rhodes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col city fan Posted 30 August 2012 Share Posted 30 August 2012 Would be the best thing surely? I think Nuge and Vardy will cement their first team partnership. One of them gets injured though.. Then we are short of any real quality IMO. We would need a GOOD replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted 30 August 2012 Share Posted 30 August 2012 Emile/Futcas as the big men and Vardy/Nugent. That'll do me - welcome home Emile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Fox Posted 30 August 2012 Share Posted 30 August 2012 Not fussed so long as there is a replacement to come in. Likewise I would take Charlie Austin as a replacement never happen though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corky Posted 30 August 2012 Share Posted 30 August 2012 Hope not, the quality after Nugent and Vardy would be seriously lacking if Beckford goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenny_fox Posted 30 August 2012 Share Posted 30 August 2012 Initially I would of been gutted about Becks leaving but the more i think about it, I wouldn't be that bothered at all, as long as we got a Pearson esque signing in, that actually wants to play!

Ian W LCFC Posted 30 August 2012 Share Posted 30 August 2012 Get a proven Championship striker in and then I would think it was a good move to sell Beckford! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc_star Posted 30 August 2012 Share Posted 30 August 2012 Beckford's agent on Twitter replied saying there's interest in him before deadline day. Every previous time he's been asked he's batted it away saying he's not striker & basically exuding to him going nowhere. There's a definite change of tone. Can see him going, to me Vardy looks better anyway, Beckford's only been good in flashes & hasn't struck a partnership with either Nuge or Vardy. Whereas Nuge & Vardy looks good so far. No point keeping him imo, we'll see though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKCJ Posted 30 August 2012 Share Posted 30 August 2012 3m and an adequate replacement and i'll be dead chuffed. 2m and an adequate replacement and i'll be moderately chuffed. 1m and an adequate replacement and i'll be pissed off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox 4 Life Posted 30 August 2012 Share Posted 30 August 2012 If Huddersfield are getting £8m for Rhodes then we need to get a decent amount from them, no way we loan to a rival. Someone raised a good point on that thread above; Rhodes record at Lge 1 level whilst with Town = 122 games and 71 goals Beckford record at Lge 1 level whilst with Leeds, Carlisle and Scunthorpe = 138 games and 81 goals Completely different players but Beckford's scoring rate is better at the level Rhodes is proven at. Beckford also has a 1 in 4 record at Premiership level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilo Posted 30 August 2012 Share Posted 30 August 2012 Only a big fee and decent replacement would make this acceptable. In all honesty I'm still disappointed we didn't go for Yakubu, as much as some of our fans disliked him you couldn't knock his scoring rate.

brookfox Posted 30 August 2012 Share Posted 30 August 2012 If he does leave I'd be amazed if he was replaced. We'll still have 5 first team strikers (of varying levels of quality!) which is more than enough to fill the two forward positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbyp57 Posted 30 August 2012 Share Posted 30 August 2012 That would be a plain stupid thing to do. Firstly you're selling to a rival and secondly who would you replace him with, who is a PROVEN regular goalscorer at this level who wouldn't cost millions ? West Ham probably want to offload Maynard, who we bid crazy money for this time last year, but he hardly set the world on fire there and there is no one else who immediately springs to mind as a replacement. If we didn't get anyone that leaves us with Futacs, definitely unproven, Schlupp, who's still learning, or, and I scare myself when I say this, Waghorn who was good in League One, what, three years ago. Stick with what we've got and look at the way we play to get the best out of the strikers we have because we clearly aren't doing that at the moment.

If we replace Beckford let's do it with a really good striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGLCFC Posted 30 August 2012 Share Posted 30 August 2012 If Gallagher and Beckford both go, I think there will be a replacement - Pearson is always banging on about it being a small squad. Personally, I would like to see Heskey in on a pay as you play deal. I wasn't in favour of this originally, but think he could do a decent job as I'm not certain Futacs will cut it in the Championship. Waghorn has lost what he had and Schlupp is still a bit raw. This leaves Nugent and hopefully Vardy to score the goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
