Becchio and Macca would not work imo. He got a good return last season but most of his goals were before Christmas. HIs goal tally this year is poor and he's got one this season despite coming on for 30+ minutes in most games.Somma showed how easy it is to come on Score goals as a sub when the opposition is tiring. Even Becchio himself bagged himself a hat-trick off the bench this time last year. He hasn't even looked scoring this time around and doesn't pose any threat. If Billy Paynter had been so long without a goal everyone would be laughing at him.
Becchio cannot fire us in to the premiership - he just isn't good enough.
