Daft question maybe, but how did this end up here. Is it not Drenthe related?

If Sven rated him at 4m he wouldn't offer 4m, would he? Everybody wants a bargain. Nobody pays market value.

Drenthe to Galatasary ? http://www.goal.com/en/news/11/transfer-zone/2011/08/30/2643457/real-madrids-royston-drenthe-set-to-join-galatasaray-report

Those who think it's good value, why don't we sell Arteta for 3 million, or perhaps Cahill for a fiver? Perhaps we can throw in Jags for 4 or 5 mill and Baines, as long as we get a profit, huh? ALL our players were bought cheap other than Fellaini and Bilyaletdinov and possibly Yak. Take the 4m for Beckford, and then go out and buy a striker with it. You couldn't even buy him back for 4m. He's not on big wages either.

Yes. I really wasn't expecting this nonsense.

A 4 figure bet has been placed on Bellamy returning to Liverpool.

Bookies have Baines 6/5 to sign for Arsenal

Blue Unions fault.

I could handle Everton not signing anyone, but selling Beckford if it goes ahead will make me really angry at Moyes. The lad could have gone anywhere, and gave us the chance, and so far he must be shrugging his shoulders. Why are Leicester getting great deals on our strikers? Has Sven got photos of Moyes shagging a TV presenter?

That picture was for the Rise of the planet of the apes audition .

He might be shite too, and we end up with no strikers who can score. Why not have both?

Villa Park, Anfield, Old Trafford, Whitehart lane, Goodison, Emirates .........

Why not just buy a giraffe to go with the kangaroo?

How can you put a 6m value on the guy without seeing him play a full season? My valuation is based on watching the guy play football both with us and Leeds. I really believe he has what it takes. Sven is no muppet, and has far more experience than Moyes has. Take a look how expensive the so called 'best' strikers in the league were to buy. You can't buy a Ginsters pasty for less than 6m these days, let alone a great player with the blistering pace of Beckford.

I could have said a pink Panda.

Dear Dave, if you sell Beckford for 4 million quid you will become the biggest idiot in our history. Don't ever ring me for advice again.

If I give you a Ferrari for free, you have a 200k motor. If Marco asks you to sell it for 10k, will you? It's not good business because the lad is a talent, and worth far more than 4million. Am I the only one who can see this lad is special? Give him a chance, or regret it.

If you have this months magazine, there is a picture of him entering the pitch, and you can see it in his eyes that he is up for it.

If we sell Beckford then we deserve all we get as far as I'm concerned. It will be the stupidest move imaginable. Give the guy 38 games, and see how he does FFS. There's another window in January.

It was just before Christmas 09 when we had our defensive troubles I think. We also had Lucas Neill, but Duffy did come on at the time for Distin. We're nearly 2 years on now, so he must be close to first team action if Moyes is prepared to give him some experience by loaning him out.

My dog often sits in front of me with great anticipation, but even he realises that sometimes, even the scraps aren't available to him. We can give Bill our paw as much as we want, but the best we can expect is that he will shake it unfortunately.
