Good luck, from a leeds fan

[Pat McCrotch]

Billy However, last year Leeds had Gradel, Snograss, Howson, Mccormack, Becchio, Killkenny and Lichaj playing with him and he only managed to score one goal!


Good Luck

That's coz they're all shit.

 

[blue'n'white]

There's two things in his favour
1) Gus likes him enough to pursue him till the bitter end and
2) Why were Leeds so desperate as to NOT let him sign for another Championship club - may be he just doesn't fit into their style of play
We've little to lose in my opinion - if he's crap he'll go back in January and ih he's not perhaps we can get him permanent

Under Gus, players tend to get better rather than worse so I'm hopeful for Paynter.

(Genuine) Question to our Leeds chum : Do signings under Grayson tend to get better or worse than their reputation?

Billy Paynter is one of the worst strikers I have seen at Leeds United. He was slow, unfit, lazy, had poor positioning, couldn't finish and couldn't head. You have signed basically an average League One player. I've seen some posts claiming that he will play better than last season because you have CMS, Vicente, Noone, Hoskins, Barnes and Lualua playing around him. However, last year Leeds had Gradel, Snograss, Howson, Mccormack, Becchio, Killkenny and Lichaj playing with him and he only managed to score one goal!


Good Luck

Yes but we managed to get rid of Dan Harding and you were the only club gullible enough to believe the hype that he was any good so Touché my ferret smuggling, gravy slurping friend!

Erm, best leftback in League One last year- Harding would be an asset if he was still here.

 

[glasfryn]

im bloody delighted with the signing thankyou.

an average league 1 player you say....29 goals is far from average when he was in that league.

he will be the perfect foil for cms, and will regain his goal scoring boots.

don't say to much else we won't get him cheap

The difference between Leeds United and Brighton and Hove Albion is our undoubtedly better style of football. He shall become a crucial cog in our football machine, rather than just a lump up top for your sloggers to find with a 50 yard hoof down field.

(*The views expressed in this post may not neccessarily my actual opinions on the signing)

Harsh.
Leeds play some good football, and with Mccormack and Bechio up top are hardly likely to be playing the long ball all the time. In fact i'd say they've got a pretty good balance in the side, strong but good on the ball.
I've seen them a few times this season, so this isn't coming from just our game against them.

no thanks

 

[collins91]

Who do people expect him to do anything for a small club like Brighton if he can't cut the mustard at a massive club like the mighty Leeds United (Champions of Europe).

lol and how many of your team right now have that winners medal ............ none lol two average championship teams.

 

[bhaexpress]

We had just sold Beckford and couldn't find any other strikers - abit of a panic buy

Nice to see that Leeds fans are so informed, you didn't buy him you got him on a Bosman, ahead of several other teams. He joined Leeds in the mistaken belief that they were a big club, the word 'were' is the operative word here.

[BHAFC_AMEX]

Didn't think you sold Beckford..........

 

[Postman Pat]

We'll see, won't we?
If he's good then yippee!
If he's crap then Leeds can have him back.
Not sure what all the fuss is about.

Not bad, but your last line didn't scan...... I think something like:
Maybe good service is all he lacks.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

A couple more posts like this from Leeds fans, ought to be enough to GUARANTEE he turns out to be a success.

 

[billy_bremner]

I hope he has a great loan spell with your lot because that would mean he'd be easier to sell this January. We can make a neat profit on him and sneak out. Ultimately, a new environment might help him temporarily to gain some momentum but that is it. I don't see any successful team building their strike force with him leading the line at this level. You'd be giving up on a lot of things. I can see this loan spell going well and someone falling for the trap. We've seen many players fade once signed permanently, so I look forward to it.

Erm, best leftback in League One last year- Harding would be an asset if he was still here.

that was last year 5 years after he played for Leeds in the Championship which is what I'm talking about...Ironically, he's only played 5 times this year and 2 of them he came off the subs bench...Anyway - shut up...I'm trying to wind up the dirty Leeds fan not get into a discussion about Dan Harding lol!

Is what I'm thinking. Yes, they may think he's rubbish. But secretly I bet they're all worried he might turn out to be half decent, and absolutely bricking it at the prospect of him scoring against them.
