Beckford scores two

[prem4stoke]

Beckford scores 2 goals against PNE and Evrton win 3-0 Saha with the 3rd.
Firstly Everton will do very well this season and secondly I really wished we took Beckford last window

[prettyricky]

and got injured out for an undetermined amount of time could affect his season and at the end of the day PNE are only a poor championship side. I think if he gets the service he'll score a fair few but we'll see can't get too carried away yet

....Mmmm....Beckford at his first attempt scores two at a division higher than he's used to with Leeds.

I reckon Beckford as I have said many times before IS THE BUSINESS.

I depends if he can be arsed. I've spoken to die hard Leeds supporters who accepted and appreciated him for the goals he scored, but hated him for the lack of effort and appreciation he showed to the club, and goals in the prem won't just come from minimal effort like they did in league 1.

don't even get me started on beckford, i along with the author of this thread and a few ( and only a few) others have been convinced since day 1 of discussions about beckford he'd do a good job in the premiership and we should of been in for him, this was before Moyes had shown interest.

Firstly, he knows where the goal is. Secondly, he is a scorer of fantastic goals and also a goal poacher. Thirdly, he believes he is the dogs bollocks - which helps a lot. Fourthly, In the premiership he'll be playing with better players which means he will get better service than he did at Leeds. Fifthly, he's an athletic player who will physically cope with the prem. Sixthly, he has shown when he has been given the opportunity against the crem de la prem he can score against such defenses. (you can only score against whom you play at the end of the day.)

David Moyes has got himself a real bargain IMO, we have dropped a bollock there. I'm not looking forward to the day he gets to pitt his witts against us, a fantastic player imo.

Preston beat Blackburn 3-0 the other day, so they're not as shit as you think.

Peter Reid scouted Beckford at least once (I sat next to him), so who's to say we didn't offer him a contract? Perhaps he just preferred the chance to play for Everton? Afterall, they are a bigger club.

theres offering a contract though knowles and offering a stoke city contract apparantly. ;D

FFS he is a third tier striker trying his best to impress his new employers and scores 2 goals against a team who finished last season struggling in the lower half of championship. We should only be regretting not signing him when he has bagged a dozen goals in PL which I doubt he will. Good championship striker and nothing more imo.

I was just aabout to post a "Pasa Warning" on this thread but it's seems i'm too late. ;D

[gonzo]

[prem4stoke]

I've got no particular views one way or another on Beckford cos I can't remember seeing him play (though I probably have) but one of my best mates is a massive Leeds fan and he always talks up every Leeds player!

Having said every time I asked him about Beckford (way before he was talking of leaving Leeds) he said he was ok but nothing special and couldn't see him playting much higher! I guess we'll soon find out!
