Can you honestly see Skirge picking up a telephone, dialing the right number and placing a bet that size using his Am Ex?

As of 11AM the skybet market has closed on Beckford. Got a call 5 minutes ago from a pal who's a compiler at a bookmaker I wont reveal, apparently yesterday someone placed £2000 on Beckford joining us.

Im sorry but Phillipe Senderos is by far and away a better defender than steven "look at me im so great " taylor...Senderos has been vilified at times and yes he has been mugged by Drobga and Torres but thats nothing i mean Vidic is terrified of Torres yet is he called s*** i think not..Senderos looks solid has played for AC Milan and has been to World Cups and Euro championships...something Taylor could only dream of

Aye, we're struggling to score goals so lets sell our best striker, ingenius.

Aye, it was everyone else's fault, keep it coming.

I actually cannot believe this thread. We're top of the league because of lack of goals conceded and people want us to change goakeepers or put Krul 'in at home'. I have absolutely no words.

The Nandos in the Trafford centre is amazing, they get the grilling absolutely spot on.

yeah but he was out on right back (where he did a good job) half the time

Taylor has proved over 5 seasons whenever he's played in the centre that he's a poor defender.

05-06 he wasn't starting much in the middle, 06-07 he only started about 10 games in the middle, 07-08 it was mostly Cacapa and Faye. 08-09 he probably started about 15 games alongside Coloccini and 2 or 3 alongside Bassong.

Are you for real? You don't think he's better than Taylor? Senderos is a mid-table premiership defender in my view.

That got too much attention though, look at that wanker Hangeland against Sidebe on Tuesday. Brushed under the carpet because it was a lesser game.

I'd love us to go for Senderos in the summer, i'd sell Taylor to fund it.

Some of us like to spend money.

No it's not. It's incredible.

Looks good. As i've said, he's not ideal and he'll be hated by sections of the fans but he'll get 10 goals between now and May. And i'll get my April holiday paid for.

I agree. I reckon we'd get Beckford if we offer £1.5m + Ranger for rest of season. That would suit both parties as I feel Ranger would thrive at Leeds and Beckford would be ideal for us. Anything other than them getting a proven goalscorer to replace beckford is not a suitable deal for them atall. I think Ranger will improve, but that takes time & its a risk in general let alone using him to replace someone whos already scored 20 this season. Carrolls the same, theyd laugh off both offers. Is the right answer. Beckford offers up something that our current lot (bar Shola) does not, or else we wouldn't be in for him in the first place. Shola plays on the shoulder of the last man and gets in behind defences? Really? I was referring to goals, was that not bleedingly obvious?

Could play an important part in signing him tbh.

Going up, they were 2/1 then 5/2 yesterday.

Odds for Villa are now 5/1.

After calling the national press and his agent, perhaps.

He can't dribble because he isn't quick with the ball, isn't strong and yep, doesn't have a great touch. His touch is adequate though, better than Carroll's.
