replacing your top scorer with a striker that doesnt score goals is the way forward.

It's the club's fault for waiting until he had six months left on his contract, clearly they weren't sure about his ability either so Fitton and Wilson can't go crying now.
Quite a few seem bitter because he proved them wrong last season, yet he's decided to move on. He's never the fans over.
I suspect the same will be true of Pericard. We've got to start backing our own players instead of getting on their backs.

Pericard was signed about the time BP didn't sign a contract....think Wilson sees him as replacement.
we signed pericard in early january, billy had until the end of march(?) to sign a contract before all negotiations were paused didn't he?

Once confirmed he isn't off to a rival team then I'll wish him good luck. Have we made him the player he is or has he stepped up his game (or both)?
Either way, I don't think we can begrudge him a move to a higher level. Nobody seemed to think badly of Cox or Parkin for moving on with their careers.
Already some incredible vitriol on the comments section.
You can't blame Paynter if it is Leeds from his point of view; Big club,good contract, but demanding fans. Hand on heart,how many of us really,really believe that if Billy stayed that he'd have anything like the same sort of season again? It's a shame he's going,but we've lost far better players in the past and still gone on to improve. eg.Jimmy Quinn left and we brought in Duncan Shearer. Keep the Faith.

Thanks for the goals this year Billy. Really don't see him having an impact in the CCC, good season this year but both 'Parkin and Cox proved what a big step up it is. Tis a shame he is off but very much replaceable. If he didn't want to sign there isn't much you can do. Onwards.....

I agree with your first paragraph Si, hence why I think its important we start talking to Lucas, Greer, Cuthbert & Douglas asap about extending their contracts. I think they all signed 2 year deals last summer.
Get it done and get it done now.

big loss - never rated that highly by most fans but he will be missed big time and was a major factor in Cox and then Austin scoring so many
Need to make a special signing now Danny boy or we will be back to square 1

More post-Wembley bitterness from Fitton! I think Paynter might just have had his best season anyway.

replacing your top scorer with a striker that doesnt score goals is the way forward.
To get a proven goalscorer is going to cost, either fee or wages, or both....therefore you have to gamble...we'll get nowt for BP, so its likely to be a loan replacement..

Doubt whether it will be a loan.
How about Le Fondre from Rotherham- surely could make the step up.

Agreed. I think a young stiker on loan from one of the recent 'links' and maybe a more experienced player on a free? People like Brett Pitman will cost a fair bob now Ballmuff are in our league as will Adam Le Fondre. Marc Richards had a good season at Vale and i think is out of contract but what the fuck do i know, Danny will sort it.

Then the ball is very much in Mr Fitton's court, as to which route he wishes to go down. As long as he's open and honest with the fans,it won't lead to rumour or false hopes.
