Guest BooBoo Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Absolutely zero chance of Everton selling one of their few decent strikers to us. Douglas built up some credibility earlier in the summer but he's just talking out of his arsehole with this one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

1878 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 I like Beckford and wouldn't sell him to you. After a bad start, he improved as the season went on and I think he'll do well for us if he gets regular games. His movement is excellent. If we had a partner for him that could hold the ball up and play him in then he'd be pretty prolific imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Not only that, it's tucked beneath another story just indicating how much of a nothing story it is. Irritating how he plugs his papers with bullshit twitter messages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beckford had an encouraging season, Saha is ageing, Cahill is injured a lot, and Anichebe is a joke. Why would they sell him for anything approaching a 'good value' price? It's unthinkable. Thankfully, Douglas has probably pulled this out of his arse. Another slow news day as the Erding saga drags on and on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Beckford's got something, if only as a squad player. At the right price, he'd be worth a punt. We seem to be aiming for a lone striker system around Ba, but could do with the option of going all out 4-4-2 with a specialist finisher up front. Beckford would be a decent option for that position.

Guest prestonj1989 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Bit of a random mention here. http://www.nuevofutbol.com/2011/07/30/arsenal-tendra-que-pagar-23-millones-de-euros-si-quiere-el-fichaje-de-mata/ The Mata transfer, whose value is €20m will be authorised by Manuel Llorente himself, who year after year must sell his biggest stars. David Silva to Manchester City was the first, David Villa to Barcelona the second, this one will be the third, while Pablo Hernandez will not be joining Newcastle, who'll be staying at least one more year. Shame, that would have been a very nice signing. Maybe next year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 They really do seem to have hit a wall on striker options, our amazing scouting system seems a bit lacking now. All these strikers we tried to sign yet could not land one of them, now its a loan deal for Beckford. SHOCKING. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest johnson293 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 If there is any trth in this, can't see Everton letting him go too cheaply - as important he is/may be for them, he also signed a 4 year deal when he joined them last summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishmael Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Not in a million years is the Beckford link legitimate. Wish they didn't assume they have to make up such dross to keep flogging their papers. I've got an idea! What if instead of a random tedious, imaginary, transfer story they dedicated their week to writing an informative piece on the club, the clubs history, world football etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Didn't you attempt to sign him during the January transfer window in the C'ship? So it makes sense the club would go back to him if there's nothing else. Can't see Everton selling though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't turn us down on a free did he ?, i thought we tried to buy him with 6 months left on his contract, but Ken Bates wanted silly money so we signed Best instead. We never went back in for him when he left Leeds on a free, as i remember it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
