If it takes 5m to get Beckford.....

[qprjames]

hopefully the club have got a limit, but lets all hope & pray it's a lot more then the £2.8 being quoted, because lets be honest that's going to be no where near what is needed to spend to get us out of this division, especially after our start, before the season started maybe, but it's obvious to all ( bar 1 or 2) that GP has fukked up big time, Taarabt isn't the answer regardless what QBP says, we all know that, £2 to £4 Million should get Beckford, do it now or get a young kid in who will do OK but won't get us out of this league, full stop, tail between the legs & premiership or we're paying that kind of money then championship football next year, simple :cry:

your right-we wont get out of the championship on the cheap

[rblockells]

yeah-but our owners are feeling the recession like everyone else

[stan_bowles]

LOL. u really believe that?

ill just quote u a couple of names... ellington, nugent... ill let u search for the rest.

Beckford and Fryatt come to mind.

[stainrodisalegend]

best just to accept we aren't going up - we are an average championship club, particularly with the slightly eccentric selection and fitness policy

[rblockells]

yeah and without mr paladini we wouldn't even EXIST

Mittal has seen his wealth go up over the last 2 months

[rblockells]

Nw9 ranger , just because some fall by the wayside or have a bad time at a club once they've moved it does'nt mean they all will. If he can do that now playing for leeds he will still have the same ability at any other club. Who do you think has better ability than him at this present time then.

so why do u think a league 1 striker is worth 5m?? youve probably just watched his youtube clips and gone cor blimey guvnor he dont arf score sum cracking goals. yeah he does against league 1 sides... u seen him play? people go on about the lazyness of our strikers never closing down, u wanna check beckford out mate. i know were all frustrated cos we want a good striker and id take beckford - didnt say i wouldnt, but 5m is ridiculous mate, add that to hes in the his last year of his contract it is shockin u think 5m is the right amount for him. there have been a lot better available mate but theyve all turned us down or weve been too slow to act or we havent offered enough. and just cos hes best of what is a bad bunch doesnt mean we should pay 5m mate.

[stainrodisalegend]

speaking to a football manager the other day - not directly involved in the beckford transfer. his view? "if you want to buy beckford in today's market, think you wd have to pay £4m." we aren't going to pay that, alas.

best of a bad bunch-Beckford is quality. Have you ever seen him play?? I have seen him many times on tv and my leeds mate is always raving about how good he is. The quality difference isnt huge and someone who can score 30 goals in leage 1 can most certinally cut the mustard in the chapionship.

Oh, didnt he score today? More than our strikers did

[stan_bowles]

The only reason Bates thinks Beckford is worth £200billion is because that useless **** of a manager,Martin O'Neill,paid £8mil for Delph,a League 1 player with no higher level experience.

It's all gone to dear old Kenneth's head.

not really, he's most probably thought if your waiter will pay near on £8M (including the ridiculous contract he gave them) for Hall & Agyemang £10M sounds cheap for a goal machine

all i do is watch football mate, pretty sad like that. seen him play many a time, seems ur going on ur leeds pal's words about him, ill remind u again mate, it aint sinking in, hes scoring goals in league 1. nugent scored goals for fun in championship couldnt cut it in prem, what makes u think steppin up a division is so easy? the quality vastly improves, hence leeds 2-1 exeter, qpr 5-0 exeter, see where im going? beckford 2 goals... routledge 3 goals lol... i tell u what - go on to a leeds messageboard and read up what the fans think about him, ive done that a bit myself and many of them question whether he will cut it in the ccc and will also point out all of the negative things to his games. 5m? no way. how many did cox score for swindon last season? 30 odd, he also scored more league goals than beckford ;) how old is cox? 3-4 years younger and how much did he go for? around 1.5-2m or something... check it out mate ;) thats realistic money

[MYU]

I'm with him ^^^^

[stainrodisalegend]

you may be with [i can't do the arrows] but at the end of the day we dont have a single striker who knows where the goal is...
