Can't see the old LUFC thread so here's a new one. http://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/l ... 6334391.jp If the YEP are right, looks like Billy Paynter is the Beckford replacement. Scored 26 goals last year in League One but prior to that looks to have had 9 years in and out of League 1 & 2 sides with a Showumni-esque goal scoring record. However, unlike proven Championship strikers Hooper, Hulse or Sharp he's available on a free transfer... Also looks like the move for the Hamilton lad won't materialise either.

I really hope Paynter isn't signed as Beckfords replacement and we spend some ££ on the calibre of Championship striker like Sharp or Hooper.
We needed a replacement for Kandol so hopefully that'll be Paynter and as a freebie and in those circumstances worth a gamble.

We'd have to take Ray as well.

That's my thoughts.

If Beckford is replaced by quality and Paynter replaces Kandol & Dickov then Paynter is a good signing, but if Paynter is Beckford's replacement that doesn't smack of ambition and looks a big risk.
