Is Jermaine Beckford an R ?

[ScottJones]

His wiki says he was born in Ealing? Every decent footballer born in West London is an R ;D Crouchie, Gallen being 2 examples!

[Neil]

Bloody hope he aint in our squad. Sooner have Kevin Gallen back

[ScottJones]

His scoring record is pretty damned good though, averages 1 in 2

[Neil]

I dont think championship level he can cut it. Also a thug and will get sent off too many times.

[Nodge70]

He's a Gooner..........

and trouble.........steer clear

Dont you think thats what we need a bit of? I think you have to fight your wait out of this league - quite literally. Look at the size and strength of some of the defences we've come across this season - blackstock got knocked off the ball so many times and was always out fought in the air...someone with some balls like beckford may be what we need?

[Morris]

Sign him up!!!!

[ScottJones]

Also look at this - you've got to respect someone that gets voted by their fellow players?

Also, appara he had a trial with us when Waddock was here? Didnt know that.

[FurtiveFox]

Seen him a few times and great first touch, awareness and knows where the goal is. If he has a Leonesque type attitude though he can stay where he is.

Yep - when he was at Wealdstone

[kingy10]

Chelsea very nearly signed after a trial

[Captain Clunge]

No thanks. Bad attitude.

[Neil]

I aint convinced

[stanistheman]

Bad attitude, but might be able to score the goals to take QPR up to the Prem League.

If the price is right, and his wage demands are reasonable, I would take a gamble.

As for being born in Ealing, so what? Merson was born in West London and he was a Chelsea fan.
