    43 games to go is too late?

    Get real.
    We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are...

      90 minutes, calm down. Premiership clubs interest, makes it extremely difficult

      I can't help but smell a cunning ruse from Peter and the Director of Football!

      It goes something like 'Peter get on the messageboards and claim we've bid for Beckford (I thnk we all know we ain't going to get someone like this in) at least it'll look like we're trying to get a quality striker ...might calm the restless natives'

        "..and when our derisory offer gets duly rejected, remind them that 4 years ago we had bucket collections for Cureton."

          Well I spoke to Gianni at the bristol city game,and he said we did go in for beckford that day,but leeds were being totally unrealistic and asking for 10 million,at which point the club kindly told them where to go......So it seems we are looking.

            Definitely FAR FAR too late. We are a whole 3 games into the season now, being promoted/reaching the playoffs is MILES out of sight.

            We will be lucky to stay up this season. Magilton out now!!

              You gotta take that with a pinch of salt ...remember when we weren't going to let cook go for anything less than £10 million ...remind me how much did he go for in the end?

              £2-3 million would get Beckford with 1 year left on his contract.

                  Exactly if Beattie and Chopra were signed from Premiership clubs into the Championship for £4m then an untried at this level League One player isn't going to be worth more than them.

                                Because I am being optimistic instead of insulting other board members?

                                If the board have now realized that they need to invest in a striker, then hats off to them and lets see where it takes us.

                                Or we could go down your root, and just insult them further?

                                Whichever works for you though mate.
