I just came on to post this. Very, very silly work from Rangers.
LUFC have announced squad numbers and trimmed a little fat. Becchio has been signed for three years and given the number ten shirt; he must have really impressed. From the pre-season commentaries I took in, he sounds like he has a high workrate and good touch.
Showumni, on the other hand, was reported to be 'chewing gum and not getting involved'. Apparently he showed more in the 4-1 victory over Belgium's FC Dender on Saturday.
1 Casper Ankergren, 2 Frazer Richardson, 3 Paul Huntington, 4 Jonathan Douglas, 5 Rui Marques, 6 Lubomir Michalik, 7 David Prutton, 8 Neil Kilkenny, 9 Jermaine Beckford, 10 Luciano Becchio, 11 Alan Sheehan, 12 David Lucas, 13, 14 Jonathan Howson, 15, 16 Bradley Johnson, 17 Scott Gardner, 18 Andy Robinson, 19 Ben Parker, 20 Tresor Kandol, 21 Enoch Showunmi, 22 Andy Hughes, 23 Robert Snodgrass, 24 Peter Sweeney, 25 Alan Martin, 28 Fabian Delph, 29 Tom Elliott, 30 Jonathan Lund, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35 Sebastien Carole, 36, 37 Ian Westlake, 38 Sebastian Sorsa, 39, 40, 41 Robert Bayly
The most annoying thing about this is that the left-back will be wearing number eleven. Fucking squad numbers.
Weston has gone, Sorsa is having a trial in Scotland, I don't believe Carole's trial in France worked out but I would expect he and Westlake to be snapped up before the close of the transfer window. That leaves Leeds with last year's squad plus Robinson, Becchio, Snodgrass and Showumni, and a couple of young players (Howson, Delph) tipped to be heavily involved. I'd like to see some more quality at the back (a reserve keeper and a centre back, maybe a right back) but I'm positive about Saturday lunchtime at Scunthorpe.
