So we didn't give Andy Cole a chance after he had bombed at Arsenal, and by all accounts had a shit attitude at Bristol City?

I'll support him if we buy him, but I don't think we should. Is this position hard to understand? If you read my posts on this page you won't actualy find me saying that we should buy him either. Are my posts that hard to understand?

So if Beckford signs will all those naysayers just turn round and shout "told you so" after a couple of games without scoring, instead of encouraging him? Guilty of being shit until proven otherwise. Supporters of this fucking club all over really. Sometimes I think we deserve the likes of Cashley, FatFred et al.

I don't see how Beckford, who's older, more hyped, and never played in the top division is in any way comparable to Bassong. It's all immaterial anyway. My experience with NUFC tells me that the very fact that we've been discussing this lad for 41 pages means that he'll never sign for us. My point still stands though. Why give one player the luxury of a chance and not afford it to the next? It's not like we're signing Robbie Savage!

A risk yes and regretably, I'm sure the only one the Fat Man will take.

One word... Bassong. Relegated in the French league. Nobody knew who he was, sure we only paid £500K for him, on £15K a week but we gave him a chance. Why couldn't Beckford be afforded the same. Christ, everyone knows that some clubs suit players better than others. There is a thread somewhere about players that left us and have kicked on to play better in other teams. We could be Beckfords "other team" al a Andy Cole.

30 Seconds to Mars to play us out

Wednesday week.

That's how we play nowadays!

Exactly. In recent years we've been drawn against Chelsea, Arsenal and the likes... Yup.

Could have been worse.

Don't sell any of our back 5. Especially Jose. Anything else is a bonus.

Cleverley instead please.

Sell Carroll to Stoke and sign both Beckford & Boyd would be great. Call me crazy but that might just work. Any at work there mate?

No... He might bring his cousin with him.

Any milage in us taking both? £3mil the pair?

Agree with the last 3 posts. Players need a run in the side before they can show what they are really all about.

I'll go with Hughton on this one. Beckford.

Care to refresh my memory? A header straight at the 'keeper. It was S.Taylor wasn't it?

Can't wait for his first goal to fly in.

Harper left the 'Boro strikers looking like suckers, and one on his arse too, when they tried to run after a backpass. Funny as fuck!

Best chant from level 7. "Your grounds too big for you, Your grounds too big for you"

Butt's spectacular overhead clearance when no-one was within 10 yards was comical. His first 10mins on the pitch was the stuff that we have come to expect from him. However something switched on and he had a cracking last portion of the game. Typified by his long raking ball over to, Simpson, I think it was. Inch perfect. Tackling got better too.
