Jermaine Beckford.

only joking........but seriously we do need some pace in our midfield , pacey winger is a must IMO .. My stepson is a villa ST holder and I tag along for a few games....Young and Agbonlahor's pace is frightening. Pace kills defences these days.

Beckford was a plumber(or was it a sparky?) and playing non league football 2 years ago at the age of 24 so he can't have been that good or he'd've been spotted before

This has got Newcastle written all over it

Beckford is a knob. I have heard him interviewed a few times and I tell you, he's a knob. No way would he settle into our team. Rule No.1 - No knobs.

 

[uknightbreed]

the lad defo needs an attitude adjustment before being considered for everton, regardless of his potential.

hes more of a birmingham or blackburn type of player imo.

Everton lead summer chase for Leeds United striker Beckford - IMScouting

Although Leeds United striker Jermaine Beckford has committed himself to Elland Road for the remainder of the season, speculation has already begun over his long term future with Everton leading the chase to sign him over the summer according to the Daily Mirror.
The 26 year-old, who is out of contract this summer told the Leeds United club website earlier this week, "I want to finish what I have been striving to do for the last two seasons.
"I want to help promote Leeds out of a division they don't belong in."
Speculation on Beckford's future intensified when he requested to leave Elland Road shortly after having scored the winning goal in the FA Cup victory at Old Trafford a couple of weeks ago. According to the Daily Mirror, the player's representatives have already been in touch with Everton over a Goodison Park move in the summer.
Beckford has scored 20 goals this season and has netted 74 times in 135 appearances for Leeds United since joining from Wealdstone in 2006. A move to Premier League Everton would represent a real challenge to the striker who has never played higher than the third tier of English football, yet Toffees boss David Moyes is reportedly prepared to give Beckford the opportunity to prove himself.

Would need to change his attitude methinks.

 

[devonblue]

he's the new ian wright and someone should take a risk on him

Would need to change his attitude methinks.

He's a bell end. Pretty much saying he's doing Leeds a favour by staying on and help them get to the championship.

No prem club is interested in him. Newcastle were but Leeds wanted £3mill+...he wasnt going anywhere (again) so withdrew his transfer request (again).

Prem clubs maybe interested in him when he's on a free. But he'll be nearly 27. Not proven in the premiership (ever)...and with a poor attitude to boot.

Think we'll swerve this one...especially if he's gonna play second fiddle to the younger, and better, Yak.

Beckford has decided to stay at Elland Road, until the close season anyway. He will then decide his future I heard.

He has a valuation of only £2 million I read somewhere, may well be accurate.

All very well cutting down teams the caliber of Colchester and Exeter in League One, but can he cut it at premier level, I always remember years ago Guy Whittingham scored like 42 goals for Portsmouth in one season, was transfered to Aston Villa and fell flat on his arse, it never worked out, this has been seen before, can't say for sure if Beckford would be a premier league success, he'll no doubt be leaving Yorkshire, who knows where, will keep an eye on this one.

Everton lead summer chase for Leeds United striker Beckford - IMScouting

I heard he met Moye sover the weekend and he convinced him to withdraw his transfer request. On the commitment he would sign him in the summer.

No brainer really, sign him up, give him a chance if hes good ace, if hes not their will be a Club willing to part with a million for him in the lower leagues. Win Win! Ive liked what i have seen from him to be fair - reminds me of Defoe.

Would also roayaly wind up Ken Bates, which is always a plus.

 

[agreen08]

No way to this muppet! he's not even that good and he has a serious attitude problem! he is not good enough to wear the shirt!

 

[Goat]

I would take the lad for free, his goal against United proves he can score at this level, yes, hes got some attitude issues, but nobody fcuks with Moyes.
