davieG Posted 18 August 2009 Posted 18 August 2009 but if u think abot it 3 million ponds on a player who can score goals ( not saying or currunt strikers cant ) can get us into the premier league which is worth more than3 million dont no exact figure , around 35 mill ( correct if wrong ) is it worth the gamble ? , i think it is well worth it Depends whether you can afford to carry the £3mill debt and the wages attached to at least a 3 year contract if we fail to get promotion. Too many clubs are taking these sort of gambles and failing. Considering we're already in significant debt do you think it would be worth it if we did fail and ended up in Administration with a 20 point reduction and League 2 status. The price of failure is as great as the price of promotion. Beckford wont guarantee promotion.

Babylon Posted 18 August 2009 Posted 18 August 2009 Who knows at start of season we had 10m according to milan Which included the wages of the current squad also.
davieG Posted 18 August 2009 Posted 18 August 2009 Which included the wages of the current squad also. Do you want to borrow this That £25mill went quickly
Brainy Posted 18 August 2009 Posted 18 August 2009 Someone just told me that Leicester radio is reporting that the Yorkshire Evening post are reporting that BBC Radio Leeds are reporting that Radio Leicester are reporting that Jermain Beckford is to have a medical at Leicester on Wednesday. Anybody know anything? *
carterfox90 Posted 18 August 2009 Posted 18 August 2009 the beckford medical thing has to be a wind up by some leeds fans still jealous of us showing them how to win the league mind you they might take DJ off our hands as part of the deal please if beckford does not play for leeds tonight then there may be some truth in it but i doubt it very much
MPH Posted 18 August 2009 Posted 18 August 2009 just as a side comment... the fee may be 3m but do people honestly think we would have to pay that all in one go? and besides... we only pulled out of Simon Cox deal because someone offered him more wages, not because we didnt have the 1.5m needed.. added to the fact we have at least 1.2m from EDIT: Yes yes i know i meant Mattock instead of Fryatt. ( with more coming via add ons) its not at all out of the question for us to pay 2-2.5m up front with bonuses for when we get promoted / he scores goals. Is it really that hard for people to grasp?
Babylon Posted 18 August 2009 Posted 18 August 2009 but if u think abot it 3 million ponds on a player who can score goals If that with or without fish? added to the fact we have at least 1.2m from Fryatt When did we sell him?

Hackneyisblue Posted 18 August 2009 Posted 18 August 2009 Wellens is being paid for over 3 years so it could well be that Leeds would take deferred payments.
MPH Posted 18 August 2009 Posted 18 August 2009 If that with or without fish?When did we sell him? see i even forgot Mattocks name already..... thats how much im over him.
Hackneyisblue Posted 18 August 2009 Posted 18 August 2009 £3m is a rip off for Beckford. And your alternatives would be?
Sly Posted 18 August 2009 Posted 18 August 2009 The whole Beckford to Leicester thing is a rumour. Beckford is in the Leeds squad for tonights game against Walsall. We can create another 10 pages debating the ability of Beckford and his on/off the field attitude but he is not and will not be our player to worry about.
The Doctor Posted 18 August 2009 Posted 18 August 2009 If that with or without fish?When did we sell him? they can have the ponds but the have to supply the fish, water plants and fishing gnomes themselves
Collymore Posted 18 August 2009 Posted 18 August 2009 The whole Beckford to Leicester thing is a rumour. Beckford is in the Leeds squad for tonights game against Walsall. We can create another 10 pages debating the ability of Beckford and his on/off the field attitude but he is not and will not be our player to worry about. I've heard he's going to be at Bramall Lane tonight with Lita, Cleverly, Lambert and Matthew Amoah
carterfox90 Posted 18 August 2009 Posted 18 August 2009 £3m is a rip off for Beckford. its cheap if his goals get us promotion & his value would rise by a lot more
richie8oy Posted 18 August 2009 Posted 18 August 2009 Scored for Leeds tonight....id love this guy at Leicester but unfortunately i cant see it happening which is a shame as he could be the missing piece of the championship jugsaw....
carterfox90 Posted 18 August 2009 Posted 18 August 2009 if he is playing for them tonight there is no way he is coming to us for a medical all a load of rubbish shame
maddog Posted 18 August 2009 Posted 18 August 2009 Still a high risk signing, but i know it's stupid to say it now if Beckford was in our side tonight we would have won We are a clinical goalscoring striker short of something very special. NP may have to loan someone else if Waghorn and Howard are out for a while, hopefully not, and Fryatt was limping for a bit too.
Samilktray Posted 18 August 2009 Posted 18 August 2009 Leeds supporting mate says hes heard about us enquiring for him, and us offering the asking price. Also he squared up with Snodgrass during there game tonight and he doesnt look happy there apparantly.
Ozwin Posted 18 August 2009 Posted 18 August 2009 Leeds supporting mate says hes heard about us enquiring for him, and us offering the asking price.Also he squared up with Snodgrass during there game tonight and he doesnt look happy there apparantly.
