ponsaelius Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 That's utter rubbish, but if it was true I'd be horrified at us spending £5 Million on Beckford. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 He's probably worth around half that at a very maximum, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 What's the most anyone has ever paid for a League One/third division player? Rickie Lambert went to Southampton this summer from Bristol Rovers for £1m. I'd be surprised if the record was much higher than that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shearergol Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 What's the most anyone has ever paid for a League One/third division player? Depends how much Villa paid for Delph. £6m I heard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdckelly Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Newcastle United are willing to splash out £5m for Leeds forward Jermaine Beckford. (The Sun) 5m for a player out of contract at the end of the season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Beckford will stay at Leeds till the summer imo. I reckon if no PL teams take a chance on him (could see the likes of Birmingham, Wigan etc taking him) then we'll be his first option, especially if we've gained promotion.

Ronaldo Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Beckford wants out of Elland Road like, whenever i've been the fans have given him a dog's abuse for being lazy and not chasing the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groo Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Beckford's not all he's cracked up to be and has far too much baggage. Newcastle need to get players with good character for a change. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Beckford's a decent lad. The only reason i wouldn't go for him is because he isn't true premiership quality. He'd get perhaps 10 goals a season in the prem but wouldn't pose a conistent attacking threat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should be an "other" in that first bold bit somewhere. Although, as we haven't actually got promotion yet, I still think he'll come here if no clubs already in the PL decide to take a chance on him, regardless whether we go up or not. If that makes sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 http://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/football/newcastle/4739823.Beckford_in_Magpies____sights/ I bought him in the January transfer window on FIFA10. It started well but he suddenly went shit. I reckon we should avoid signing him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
