Romey 1878 Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 It's looking like Becks and Yak will both be gone and Vic will still be here. Goals out, while we keep the non-scoring striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codders78 Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Is there a back up plan? will Yak get another go or are we going to rely on Saha staying fit with Vic and Baxter offering the competition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avinalaff Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 If we sell Beckford then we deserve all we get as far as I'm concerned. It will be the stupidest move imaginable. Give the guy 38 games, and see how he does FFS. There's another window in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you'll get out of me then is maniacal laughter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avinalaff Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 If you have this months magazine, there is a picture of him entering the pitch, and you can see it in his eyes that he is up for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wall Writer Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 He annoys me at times, but would like to keep him. After saying/hearing all last year that he needs to get used to the prem and probably needs a season to get up to speed, then selling after one season, sounds a bit stupid. Then again, if £4 million is true, that's not a bad bit of business to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scouse Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Baxter is a midfielder isnt he? that Stracqualursi is in to add to the strike force, all that said i think Becks will reject the move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not good business because the lad is a talent, and worth far more than 4million. Am I the only one who can see this lad is special? Give him a chance, or regret it.

Perhaps he is worth more than 4.5 mill, but not much more 6 mill tops, in our current state it is good business as its 4.5 mill we can wipe off our date plus x mill off the wage bill. I dont think we will regret it, he will do well at Leicester if he goes, but as I said i dont think he will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My valuation is based on watching the guy play football both with us and Leeds. I really believe he has what it takes. Sven is no muppet, and has far more experience than Moyes has. Take a look how expensive the so called 'best' strikers in the league were to buy. You can't buy a Ginsters pasty for less than 6m these days, let alone a great player with the blistering pace of Beckford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Sven agree he has more experience but i know who i would prefer managing Everton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avinalaff Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Those who think it's good value, why don't we sell Arteta for 3 million, or perhaps Cahill for a fiver? Perhaps we can throw in Jags for 4 or 5 mill and Baines, as long as we get a profit, huh? ALL our players were bought cheap other than Fellaini and Bilyaletdinov and possibly Yak. Take the 4m for Beckford, and then go out and buy a striker with it. You couldn't even buy him back for 4m. He's not on big wages either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
