Mac's Lads' and Luciano are the Bee's Knee's!
Leeds cruised to a 2-0 win at Barnet and Macca dropped a strong hint that he wants to keep Argentinian trialist Luciano Becchio.
Becchio did not score at Barnet and completed 68 minutes in the whites' win in London, but Macca described his performance as "excellent" and admitted that Leeds would "have to move quickly" to snap-up the former Barcelona striker.
Andy Robinson and Jonny Howson (pictured) were on target for the whites', as Macca's first-string remained unbeaten during their pre-season matches.
Leeds will conclude their summer preparations for the 2008/09 season, with our now seemingly annual trip to Darlington on Tues (29th July) KO 7.45pm, before hosting Belgians FCV Dender next Saturday (August 2nd) KO 3pm at ER.
Lets hope Mac's Lads' remain unbeaten throughout the warm-up games and carry it on to Scunthorpe on August 9th - where Leeds defend a proud record of not being beaten on the opening day of the season since 1989/90 (Newcastle away 2-5).
And lets hope Snr Becchio is signed up pronto and fulfills his obvious potential.

Swansea City : Grimes misses a penalty in a return to bad old ways An error strewn and tepid Swansea display ensured thousands left the stadium before the staff and players did their usual walk around at this end of season game. It wasn’t a good look as two players received red cards and any effort by the home side was lost in a static and frustrating display.
Gwyn’s Eye View : Swansea City v MillwallGlyn is back with his favourite stats as we build up to the last game of the season. That comes in the form of Millwall who it seems are close to selling their requested 1,148 allocation, so its down to the Jack Army to do their bit this bank holiday weekend.
The fate today’s Swansea footballers would never have to endure Swansea City bring this season to a close on Saturday with a home game against Millwall. However, what about those bygone days when footballers had no choice but to go down the pit after their career ended, or open a toy shop, pub or retrain ? That thought would petrify todays modern footballer.
