Buying Beckford

It’s an ill wind that blows again… Beckford scores for Leeds United which is good but means we mightn’t be able to afford him now.

Not saying I wouldn’t have followed the same tactics Mr Grayson but we need a striker and he looked like one of the best at c£2m but not £4m.

Will another Club cough up £4m or will we be able to negotiate a betweenie to suit us both?

Plenty of payback for Mr Ashley next season if we make it into the Premiership but little chance of that without new striker blood… we seem to be tired even though we are playing well.

And what is it about the first name Jermaine in football. There seem to be lots of them and I wonder who the role model was, c20 years ago. I know there was a Jackson brother…
