Beckford

[Thants]

We should buy him, stick him in the resrves then sell him. 2 million made. Then do that 20 times and buy someone great 2 years time.

 

SV - haha nice crowbarring.

[stringvest]

Well, it's the same as somebody suggesting we should buy another tubby left back who can't defend. We've got more than enough of them as well.

[Tom R]

jesus wept.

 

He's the new Ben Earnshaw, but not as good a finisher.

[tenner]

He's just another ordinary player. Need better quality player's but cant afford them.

[RedinSweden]

I wondered if I would see this. This is not some hot prospect, this is a 26 year old playing in the third tier and all he is has done of note is score against our rivals in the cup.

[PaulMcC]

He's nowhere near good enough for us.

0957 GMT: Leeds striker Jermaine Beckford has been linked with a summer move to Everton, who are reported to have agreed a pre-contract with the striker, whose contract expires at the end of the season. However, Whites manager Simon Grayson said: "Pre-contract agreements aren't binding so both parties could pull out at any time. If he bangs in another 20 goals, there might be bigger teams than Everton coming in for him." (Press Association)

 

Not sure what's funnier. That there may be any truth in this or the reaction of the evertonians when they read the quote.

[shaunstrudwick]

i'd take Victor Moses over him

[RedinSweden]

i'd take Victor Moses over him

 

i doubt either of them would want to be involved in sordid sex games with you.

RiS has talked some sense on this page today!

[Monster Masch]

I'd rather the other bosman deals we are linked with in Jovanavic or Chamkh.

[Stouffer]

He didn't do very well last night did he.

[fowler9]

average championship player, would be another Jason Scotland

 

only football league players i would take are Adam Johnson and Victor Moses

[WaltonRed]

Joining the shite on a pre contract agreement.

 

Love the way Grayson said 'its not binding but he has an agreement, if he bangs in 20 more goals then a BIGGER club might come in for him' ha ha

[Guest Dog Chaser]

Beckford is without doubt going to be at the maximum of his abilities in the championship, never a premiership standard footballer. He also has a suspect atitude if things dont go his way by all accounts.

[WaltonRed]

I think he'll get 10 goals maybe even 15 in all competitions.

 

Which would be a decent return for the Shite.

[rebel23]

2 more away goals at a premier league side

[Iantn]

They said at the start he hadn't scored since the 3rd round game. Not sure how many games they've had since then but if he had a decent amount of potential I'd have backed him to get a least one in that time.

[PaulMcC]

He's shit.

[old skool tom]

the lad can defo score goals.hes not good enough for us but hes stronger and better than ngog and dirk.i think hes even better than kenwen jones when it comes to finding the onion bag.

[higgo]

Excellent talent - strong, quick, good control and technique - and better than anyone we have as back up currently. But lads like him will never get picked up by the top clubs anymore, there's too much clamour for expensive foreign imports.

[PaulMcC]

N;gog is far better.

[RyanLFC]

Reminds me of Darren Bent, apart from he's not as good as Darren Bent.

[rage]

reminds me of dirk kuyt but with a better touch and a bit more pace

 

if dirk can score two goals and be hailed as a superstar....

[grazywalker]

He reminds me of a young Shirley Bassey .
