Was selling Beckford a mistake?

    " still think his man management of strikers is awful,"

    rubbish. look at velios, cahill, beckford. all lower league and all goal scorers.

    FACT: moysey is one of the most complete, competent managers in the EPL. if he ever left EFC he would not be out of work for long.

    It was good that we made £4m on him, meant we've got a bit more money for transfers, but I think he should have been given more than a season before selling him on. Who knows, we might have made more on him in the second season. Thought it was a strange one despite getting the £4m for him.

    Do i think we would be higher up the league with Beckford? No....


    At the time I was unhappy with selling him, but now im glad we did...

    No matter if moyes had a billion pounds to spend, I still think his man management of strikers is awful, he can turn a championship defender into an International, but to do it to a striker, he doesn't have the ability in my opinion and never will....

    Amen

    selling the yak is looking dumb and dumber....

    " Yakubu will lead the line at Stoke this lunchtime with five league goals in just six starts for the club. He already has the same amount of goals as the club’s top scorer did last season."

    I asked a leicester fan how Jermaine was getting on... he said 'you can have him back if you want, half price!'

    Nope.......he simply wasn't good enough, and we made some money off him to keep the banks happy.....

    Had he still been here, Vellios might not have got the games he has......

    if we can bring in a quality striker on loan in january than great.......if not, lets give Vellios more games and develope what looks to be a talented young player....

    Think Beckford would have helped our goal situation and he is always a good sub to have..  They sold him because we are skint but then we get Dennis on loan but he doesnt get a game!!!!!!  We are in badly need of a good striker, its nearly the 1 Dec and our top goalscorer is on 3 GOALS.... say no more.....
