steve_69 Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 hmmmm.. http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11688_5423045,00.html Beckford keen on Toon move Jermaine Beckford's agent Nick Rubery says Leeds United's transfer-listed striker could move to Newcastle. The Magpies were linked with a move for the talented forward earlier in the summer having been impressed by his goalscoring record last term. However, a deal is yet to materialise with the newly-relegated side still concentrating on their ongoing takeover saga. Beckford's agent, though, has refused to rule out a summer move to St James' Park, admitting that he expects positive news on the Leeds striker's future soon. f*** me, I used to go to school with Nick Ruberry! He's the son of Barry Ruberry who bought Huddersfield Town when they were good and pretty much ruined them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Phil K Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Bit of a lazy yob apparently. Decent striker in Div 1 doesn't mean he can cut it higher up. We don't need another Dyer attitude. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes having an attitude can be a good thing if you use it the right way, which I'm not too convinced that Beckford would do. You're right though, he has scored handfuls in the Championship, it is a bit of a risk bringing him into the Championship and even at £1m I'm not sure if we'll be able to afford that, guess we'll have to see who the new owners are.

Dave Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 I'm not sure if he'll make the step up to the Championship but IMO it's not as great a jump as to the Premier League and it'd make a nice change to sign someone in form and on the up right now.
