Luciano Becchio on trial July 22, 2008
Posted by fordy1111 in Transfer News.trackback
24 year old Argentinean striker Luciano Becchio has joined Leeds united on trial and the player will feature in Wednesdays night’s game against Shelbourne.
Becchio played in the third tier of Spanish football at Merida UD scoring 28 goals in 50 appearances and the striker also had spells with Barcelona and Mallorca.
With Leeds currently looking for 2 more strikers it will be interesting to see how Becchio does with a good performance he could well become one of the new strikers at the club.
Haber did get on the score sheet the other day but as been less than impressive over all while been on trial at Leeds and McAllister may well decide to go for Becchio instead.
I’m quite excited by Becchio maybe it’s because he is Argentinean but at some point Barcelona thought he was worth a look and at 24 the striker still as time on his side.
Good news!

I,m a UD Merida fan, I live in Merida.
You will get an autentic striker…He has been the player who has scored more goals in the 2ºB Spanish Division. And i can say that we have finished 4th because of him.
He hasn´t got a lot of agility, but he is an autentic “killer” in the area.
If leeds united fans support him, he will get confidence and he will score a lot of goals
PD: Sorry about my english, i dont speak it well
Not sure how reliable this is but Wikipedia states that Becchio has signed for Leeds. Not sure what the £10 million stat is all about??
From wiki:
“signed a 2-year contract on the afternoon of the 25th July 2008 with League One side Leeds United.”
“His goalscoring exploits alerted a number of English clubs and he turned down a number of Championship clubs to trial with Leeds United after being recommended by ex-Newcastle United defender, Marcelino, who is a Spanish scout for Liverpool. He is also contributing 10 million pounds to the club for the coming season. Talking to yorkshire radio “this is my dream club and i hope i take them back to the top”.”
Hey UD Merida - Why did Merida let Becchio go? Sounds like you would have been better keeping him with 28 goals in 50 games?
Also from today’s comments from McAllister it sounds like he’ll be a Leeds player soon - I’m expecting an announcement on monday. From today’s performance it could be Beckford & Becchio as starting strikers for Leeds. Showumni had another shocker today, still no goals : (
Also, Howson, Robinson, Fabien Delph on fire today against Barnet.
IS MÉRIDA UD, HISTORIC MÉRIDA WHO PLAYS IN ‘LA LIGA’. LUCIANO IS A KILLER, IT’S A VALIOUS PLAYER WITH FUTURE.

Hello I am an acquaintance very friend of luciano becchio of Argentine.
He is a player scorer, very good of head and a power like gabriel batistuta. here they say to him(her) ” THE TANK ” IT IS an idol native of Cordoba of Argentine.
It is a very good choice(election), is not going to defraud them. The technician has to give him(her) many confidence to to do the possible better(best) thing for the equipment(team).
CAS,
It’s imposible to retain a player like Luciano in a 2ª b Division…UD Merida has not got a lot of money and some months Merida couldn’t pay the salary to the players…
UD Merida wish that Luciano finally choose to stay here, but it is someting imposible
