[PompeyRanger]

Do we need someone with more attitude than life

apparently benefica are after him

on the bbc football site

he isnt that good, people will see the headlines and think wow he's scored again but in reality i watched their game on monday and he must of missed 2/3 guilt edged chances before he stuck his goal in. He wont get so many chances at this level and I wouldnt spend too much money on him.

[WeAreQPR12]

Magic I totally agree.
One of the most overrated players I can think of.

[Robsondinho]

Agree to that IMO very over rated. must be paper talk about benfica that made me laugh!!!

[bluehoopa]

the leeds boy

heard on talk sport tonight on there round the local area papers that in leeds theres a piece re beckford and his contract and how we are piting in a big bid.. i wondered if hes right for us long term or wether we would be better off try in to prize mr simpson from the ars anyone know if we have any dibbs on him?

[Magic]

i'd still gamble on him for say £1m

[qprjames]

I'd love Beckford to come to QPR...

Some on here dont seem to want him, His goalscoring record is great and you just can't knock it. Him and Simpson upfront, what a partnership!!

You can tell by the way leeds havent/dont want to sell him that he is a quality player

[Magic]

I'd like him here, but he is vastly over rated and I wouldnt be surprised if he flopped. Look at his goal record and its good (in league 1) but whenever i see him on the box he always misses a few great chances and my leeds mate (yes shameful I know) does not think he could make the step up.

I have to say , im with you james, the boy beckford would be a great signing imo.
yeah he's only scoring hatloads in lg 1. he is however only getting lg1 service.

There can be no promises he can step up of course , but i reckon with the boys he'd have behind an around him here, he'd score for fun in this div too.

i feel we have too much of a similar player in simpson. would rather a bigger player like hooper

[QPRdan3]

Of course I'd love to see someone like Beckford at the club. But I think what we need at the moment is a striker that can bully defenders and has a pace about him, someone like Marlon King. But don't get me wrong I'd be over the moon if Beckford was to join us.

Leeds striker Jermaine Beckford is a surprise target for Portuguese side Benfica in the January transfer window. (Daily Star)

Hooper,like Simpson is 5'9" whilst Beckford is 6'2".

Beckford is 6'2" and very quick.OK he might miss a handful of chances every game,but he's always in a position to score and reads the game well.Thats why his scoring rate is so impressive. You don't mind him missing 2 or 3 a game providing he gets a goal every 2 games or as in the case of last season a goal a game (34 in 34) . He would be brilliant alongside Simpson with the service they would get from our midfield.
