Beckford

[90minutes]

get him in. hes quality. scores goals. all good teams have a goalscorer.
do we have a chance of getting him?

[m_cooper]

no,we will not pay the money

[Morris]

His first goal was pure class.

Scores with his left, right and head, gets all sorts of quality goals from inside the 6 yard box or from 20 yards out.

Get him in.

[stainrodisalegend]

we should stop torturing ourselves. there will be nods and winks that we will get him on the cheap in Jan, but someone with real ambition will sign him. if we can't stretch to Lita on a free, there is no way we will spend anything like the money he wd cost.

surely if the board compare the finishing of helguson today and beckford than they will se HE IS EXACTLY WHAT WE NEED, this will make the board very popular and will also help us make a serious promotion push. Does anyone "ITK" know if we are looking at him like we apparently looked at other targets or if we are seriously looking at him like making a bid? Magilton did say we might be making a few more signings and i have seen his name mentioned on this board several times. does anyone "ITK" know if we are seriously looking at him?

[m_cooper]

don't be daft,hell would need to freeze over before we part with 3m

[Del]

He would certainly do a job for us and i think take the CCC by storm in a similar fashion to Ebanks blake, but why bother even talking about it.... our owners will never spend the money needed to land him. Lita was Free and they didn't finance a move due to wages.

[qpr-buzsaky]

how do you know it's 3m? is that the asking price? i think if we offer £2m we would get him, in his last year of his contract isn't he?

[m_cooper]

not a prayer at 2m,his price will be 3m upwards

[qpr-buzsaky]

i still think we need to cough up to get players IMO we can't afford to let players of his calibre go to our league rivals

[Morris]

Year left on his contract, £2-2.5m should do it.

[m_cooper]

i don't know why nobody mentions ricky lambert of bristol rovers,he is very consistent
25+ goals for a crap side 2 years running and would not cost 1m

[Del]

Haven't West Brom already offered £2m which was turned down?

[m_cooper]

yes i think bates wants 5m,go for lambert at a snip

[Morris]

Haven't West Brom already offered £2m which was turned down?

No.
