Don't think we need him. We can only play 11 men and there's a point at which adding to the squad has to stop. All of these guys are picking up a salary.
His nick name amongst some of my leeds supporting colleagues is "barn door billy" because he can't hit one. The supporters in the Don Revies Stand behind the goal at Elland road apparently have their faior share of bruises because he can hoof it but style and accuracy are not thought to be his strong points. If we signed him even as a loan I beieve he would have a negative impact on the squad. I agree you can't have to many strikers but my Leeds colleagues suggest he wouldn't qualify as one!

29 goals in 52 games in 09/10 (last injury free season) would suggest there is a decent league one striker sitting in the stands at Leeds. Worth a loan if we shift Benson out.
From the tone of the article it looks like a short term loan deal to get him match fit. I don't think that would be of much benefit to us, especially, as has been said elsewhere, we have only just bought in Kermet and Hayes has done a fine job for the first ten games. I'm not sure we need him for the next two months. If it was a season long loan, or if we had one of our strikers injured then maybe, but not as things stand.

That was two seasons ago at Swindon when he partnered Charlie Austin who fed him goals. He hasn't been scoring freely since and has put on some weight. If we get him fit and scoring on loan to us he will dissappear up the M1 to leeds faster than a rat down a drainhole, if we don't we are wasting our training staff time. Let him get fit at Leeds and see if anyone wants him if he starts scoring again. We are not a charity for failing strikers Last season 23 appearances 1 goal.

I really was never impressed with Paynter. Look at his record and you'll see the 2009/10 season is his only really good one for return re goals. The only aspect of his game that was impressive, was that he can win virtually every header and drop deep to just in front of the midfield again winning all headers from shit balls. This will leave BWP isolated, but possibly beef up the midfield and allow them to break for BWP.
It's complete bollox to say Austin setup his goals. Paynter made huge amounts off space for Austin, they broke well that season, and Austin could outpace players across the back four. That season Austin had hardly any assists, it was all JP Mcgovern, and Paynter linked the play. JPM would have been a player I'd have happily seen at Charlton.

More likely Sheff Utd/Wed would be my guess
a definite No from me
That's exactly what I thought when we signed Benson, Jon Nurse was the striker to sign.
I'd take Paynter all day, Can't have enough strikers imo.
He has played for Swindon & Southend so he's not worried about playing down South.

Kidding of course - cue thousands of ancient angry Lifers who will say, "I saw Endean score".
That's 3 of us now and growing, in our very own new clique ......."The Endean is Nigh". Or it was back then.
Didn't we get him on the basis of having scored over 20 goals for Watford the season before?????
