Babylon Posted 21 June 2013 Posted 21 June 2013 Pearson said that Beckford wanted to leave, has this been backed up elsewhere.What do you need a signed statement from Beckford?I think Grayson intimated Beckford made the deal happen.
Babylon Posted 21 June 2013 Posted 21 June 2013 Would map out to 15 -16 in a full season - bout same as Nugent who everyone loves But he never has, he goes missing way to much. What was it 40 league starts and 9 goals! He also offers feck all else, no work rate, no team play, cost £2.5 or £4.5m more than Nuge and earns more money according to the ITK's.

lcfcsnow Posted 21 June 2013 Posted 21 June 2013 Can someone ban Babylon from all Beckford threads? Same 9 league goals shit every day, we get it.
seenitall Posted 21 June 2013 Posted 21 June 2013 Scored a sublime hat trick against Forest though....usually enough to cement hero status
Harry - LCFC Posted 21 June 2013 Posted 21 June 2013 If you honestly believe that any of the players we currently have care anything for Leicester City at all then you have been mugged - all mercenaries, all would leave for a bigger club at the first sniff - this is football chap I do
indierich06 Posted 21 June 2013 Posted 21 June 2013 Can someone ban Babylon from all Beckford threads? Same 9 league goals shit every day, we get it. Yeah it's really annoying when people use the facts to criticise a player isn't it?
seenitall Posted 21 June 2013 Posted 21 June 2013 I do He's just watching his last chance of playing in the Prem disappear - would still sign for Hull at the drop of a hat if they wanted him..... probably thinking 'I had to cancel a perfectly good holiday to go through this crap'
lcfcsnow Posted 21 June 2013 Posted 21 June 2013 Yeah it's really annoying when people use the facts to criticise a player isn't it? A goals a goal, I'd rather an expensive striker capable of scoring goals when his heads right than 3 strikers in Futacs, Vardy and Waghorn incapable of scoring goals full stop. Ship them out if no ones taking Beckford, they're a waste of time.

Babylon Posted 21 June 2013 Posted 21 June 2013 Can someone ban Babylon from all Beckford threads? Same 9 league goals shit every day, we get it.They can ban me if I can ban you for spouting the same shit all the time. I'm willing to take a bullet so the masses can rid themselves of you.

If he's useless then.......
suffolk fox Posted 21 June 2013 Posted 21 June 2013 So manage him properly - not tit for tat. Nige has to be bigger than throwing his toys out of the pram when dealing with footballers - if for no other reason than he has effectively thrown away the investment in the player. Surely the owners would have expected him to do more than just write the investment off over a spat. Relative to the current size of the club, Beckford is as important an asset to City as Tevez was to man City and they sorted it out. At last someone speaking sense. I agree your everyword. The same NIgel who now wants to get rid of Danny Drinkwater, what has happened there? Had a bust up with Wood came out with some garbage about a knee injury? wood hasn't looked like the same player since? Danns as well? Stand up to NIgel and you are frozen out or sent packing.

Interesting - I don't really have an issue with Jamie, although his goals to games ratio for us doesn't stand up to Jermaine's (I haven't looked at it on a starts basis) If we can all see this then why can't Nigel - he is bringing in fools like Harry Kane (I assume we had to pay his wages??) instead of nurturing the players he has at the club - Vardy is another one whose investment we should be protecting not throwing away. This is his job I think.

Swiss_tony Posted 21 June 2013 Posted 21 June 2013 maybe just maybe it's about more than on the pitch performance. if you think you've got a slacker or a bad egg you make an example of them so others don't follow in their stead. personallyi think beckford is a great footballer when he puts his mind to it, but he just doesn't do that very often. as a result i think he's a big waste of money.
suffolk fox Posted 21 June 2013 Posted 21 June 2013 How many made up bits of info do you want to use to try and make a point? Babylon i have no beef with you as i said in an earlier post we will agree to disagree. seenitall makes some relevant points though and it is well known that Nigel does have issues with certain players and has had bust ups. I do not need to make any points as you put it. It is blatantly clear though from your posts you do not like Beckford at all and that is fair enougth that is your opininion. Leeds fans and even Huddersfield fans would have him back tomorrow if they could.

I do not need to make any points as you put it. It is blatantly clear though from your posts you do not like Beckford at all and that is fair enougth that is your opininion. Leeds fans and even Huddersfield fans would have him back tomorrow if they could. It's not known whether he wants rid of Drinkwater, it's not known he fell out with Wood. You say he made up an injury, well in that case so did Wood when he could have said nothing. Perhaps, just perhaps he was carrying an injury. It's not known he has bust ups. Every single player here or sold has said there were no bust ups, when again they could have said nothing, the manager has denied any bust ups. There isn't a single piece of credible evidence for there being a bust up. What we do know though, is that he chose not to pick certain players, and decided he wanted to move on certain players. He has been quite open about his reasons without naming players directly. You can either believe the players, the manager, the managers stated reasons for not wanting certain players at the club. Or you believe they are all lying. I have said time and time again previously I have nothing personal against Beckford. I have stated I would give him chances to be part of our SQUAD should he want to be. He made it clear to the management he didn't want to be, so I don't want him anywhere near the club.
Corky Posted 21 June 2013 Posted 21 June 2013 we will agree to disagree here. The same Neal Danns who was Crystal Palaces player of the year before he came to us was highly rated by all of their fans and still is the same player who did not know why Pearson had frozen him out as he never spoke to him. the same Mr Pearson who wanted to buy Neal Danns when he was Hulls manager but we beat him to it. The same Neal Danns who played well under Sven and there is even a lifesize picture of him on the wall in the club shop. In attack who would I rather have Waghorn, Futacs, Kane or Vardy? Mmmmmmm let me think about this for a minute. i would rather have Beckford everytime over all of them. For the last time Sven did not pay these players their overated salaries or contracts. Andrew Neville and the Thais have to take responsibility here. On another note I would even have Beckford over Wood cos he has been playing shit and looks totally uninterested So now we should pick players on the size of the club shop picture?

But since when did Danns play well under Sven?
Mark_w Posted 21 June 2013 Posted 21 June 2013 On another note I would even have Beckford over Wood cos he has been playing shit and looks totally uninterested Are you sure you've got that the right way round?
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 21 June 2013 Posted 21 June 2013 But they're shit? We've got better players in every position. That, I do not believe. Just who, is genuinely better?
Guest Col city fan Posted 21 June 2013 Posted 21 June 2013 I remain intrigued to see what Danns and Beckford could do if they both had an injury free, sustained run in a team. Not as loanees, not as subs... And most importantly, playing in a good side. Sven's teams weren't good, and the teams that Pearson took over weren't good. The team is better now. Morgan and RDL make a difference, as does James. I still wonder what a central midfield partnership of James and Danns could do, with Beckford partnering Nuge or Wood up front. This isn't me being 'awkward'.. It's asking a genuine question. If Pearson simply dismisses such options, then I think it shows a failing in him. But I thought that last season too. Having Beckford and Danns out on loan whilst we continued with Drinkwater and Kane made no footballing sense to me. I can only assume it must have been about money.

Manwell Pablo Posted 21 June 2013 Posted 21 June 2013 9 in 27 here and there, 8 in the league. The post I quoted was someone referring to his time at Huddersfield only.
