The Horse's Mouth Posted 23 June 2013 Posted 23 June 2013 Disappointed at the £1.5million loss but it's clear things weren't going to happen between Beckford and our club. Can definitely see him banging in goals left, right and centre next season for Bolton. Beggars can't be choosers
flowwolf Posted 23 June 2013 Posted 23 June 2013 Beggars can't be choosers Exactly , and he wont be the only one going some of our best players are also on top money . We are Beggars now and no mistake.
Dan Posted 23 June 2013 Posted 23 June 2013 Ok can you enlighten me as what exactly he was earning a week with us ? Every one jumps on this bandwagon but no one comes up with the actual figures because neither the club or player has ever stated his wages. Even if it were true that is not his fault the club were stupid enough to pay him that amount. He has agreed a wage cut to go to Bolton so he is not that mercenary he just thinks he has more chance of playing in the top flight again with them and I think he is right. Whilst I can't provide you with an accurate figure, I can pretty much 99.9% guarantee it's absolutely ridiculously more than he should be on. He was at a Premier League side, he wasn't transfer listed, and was brought in on deadline day because we'd failed to bring in Maynard after about a million attempts. Why, other than a pay rise from what even Everton paid him, would he join us? I bet he's on £25k a week and that is at the absolute least.
Finn Claw II Posted 23 June 2013 Posted 23 June 2013 Hopefully true, good for Beckford, good for us and good that we actually held out for an okay fee. Can't really blame him for the wages he was on but he never looked like he wanted to be here He'll probably score 15 or so next season but with Wood, Nugent and Schlupp I think we'll score enough anyway. Danns / St Ledger hopefully next and then we can hopefully bring in the 3 or 4 players we will need for a top 6 finish.
The Horse's Mouth Posted 23 June 2013 Posted 23 June 2013 R.I.P the Beckford saga threads Doubt it, I'm pretty sure some Bolton fans will visit this site half way through the season asking for a refund.
Adster Posted 23 June 2013 Posted 23 June 2013 And don't come on here with your cheap chav phoney Bro talk , fricken indeed. For you to call anyone else a moron is absurd. If you took the time to read things you would know he has agreed to take a wage cut in order to go to Bolton and Huddersfield were paying a good deal of his wages last season.Touchy. Who cares if he's taking a wage cut to go elsewhere? It's not about that. It's about his current wage at our club. Which let's be fair, is absurd. He's crushing our dressing room as he doesn't give to shits and he's contributing highly to crushing us financially.

How can he be crushing our dressing room he's not been in it for most of the season ? And do you really think any player gives two shits at the club ? they are all here for the money not for the love of playing for Leicester city, we are not a big enough club for fake loyalty.
flowwolf Posted 24 June 2013 Posted 24 June 2013 You're a grown man. work it out. No sorry you are hiding behind vagueness yet again. That does not help me to " work it out "
MPH Posted 24 June 2013 Posted 24 June 2013 No sorry you are hiding behind vagueness yet again. That does not help me to " work it out " Then you must be as thick as pig sh*t.
flowwolf Posted 24 June 2013 Posted 24 June 2013 Then you must be as thick as pig sh*t. I thought it would only be a matter of time before the insults started. Sorry you lose.

MPH Posted 24 June 2013 Posted 24 June 2013 Goodnight old bean I enjoyed the little spat. I don't think you realize how much you just embarrassed yourself... Kind of insecure of you to try and claim a victory on an online forum! Toodle pips!
dave_the_fox Posted 24 June 2013 Posted 24 June 2013 "@JasonBourne1986: A few of this morning's newspapers reporting that Bolton have agreed a fee with #LCFC to sign Jermaine Beckford. £1m is being mentioned."
KFS Posted 24 June 2013 Posted 24 June 2013 Ill take that! Don't feel any pressure at Bolton, Jermaine!
woznotwos Posted 24 June 2013 Posted 24 June 2013 Good chunk off the wage bill if its true. Hope flowwolfs wrong ,maybe we never really suited his style of play . WHATEVER THAT WAS !
indierich06 Posted 24 June 2013 Posted 24 June 2013 You just watch him bang them in for Bolton. It's a certainty he will get more than any of our strikers. Bolton will be in the mix for promotion , and any way Beckford is still a much better player than Wood will ever be. You just wait and see, theer will not be too many Halleluiahs come the end of next season when we realise it was not him at fault is was us. I'll take that bet. I bet you a tenner at least one of our strikers has scored more than JB by the end of the season.

Beckford 29 years old 25 goals in the top 2 divisions Wood 21 years old 32 goals in the top 2 divisions Wood 30 international caps 10 goals Beckford 5 international caps 1 goal Yeah Beckford far better than wood will ever be!
MikeyT Posted 24 June 2013 Posted 24 June 2013 http://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/Bolton-set-sign-Leicester-City-s-Jermaine/story-19375133-detail/story.html Jermaine Beckford has edged closer to leaving Leicester City. A deal with Bolton Wanderers has finally been agreed, the Mercury understands. Trotters boss Dougie Freedman has targeted striker Beckford since the end of last season. But talks have stalled for more than a month because the two clubs were said to be miles apart in their valuation of the 29-year-old Jamaica international. But the Mercury understands that the two clubs have now agreed a fee for Beckford and the former Leeds United and Everton striker will discuss personal terms with Bolton and undergo a medical before the deal can be finalised. The fee is undisclosed but is believed to be less than £1million. Although the amount City paid Everton for Beckford two years ago was also undisclosed it is believed it was around £3 million. While City have taken a big hit on the sell-on fee, they are attempting to bring the wage bill down so they can confirm with the Financial Fair Play rules. It is believed Beckford was the club's highest earner. Beckford didn't score in his first five games after arriving at the King Power Stadium under Sven-Goran Eriksson's reign as City boss. But he went on to net 15 goals in his first campaign, six of which came in the FA Cup, including a hat-trick in the third-round replay victory over Nottingham Forest. Beckford started the first three games of this season and made two more substitute appearances without scoring before City boss Nigel Pearson sent him out on loan to Huddersfield Town in September. Beckford extended his loan with the Terriers for the rest of the campaign and went on to score nine times in 22 appearances. Pearson has made no secret of the fact he wants to offload certain members of his squad and Beckford was on a list of seven players that has been circulated to other clubs.
