Memmaclub Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Buddle 30+ USA striker plays in second division in Germany. Really Davey is that the right answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clubs joint top scorer Best starts to goals ratio. Scoring hatricks in reserve football. As opposed to the guys he is tryin to oust: 1 goal between 2 Joint lowest scorers with the goalkeeper Getting games regardless of form. He needs to work harder stubbsy he is obviously not ready for the step up yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 worked his arse off? he couldn't be arsed challengin for the ball in the air most of the time..only thing beckford was good at was gettin in the right positions..if he was as good at finishin he'd be top class he was good at finishing!

tzp7zy Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Its a conundrum isn't it. We let go Yakubu and Beckford who were both pretty much out and out goalscorers but don't add much to overall play. Had this convo with a Villa mate about Bent - it's like playing with 10 men for 88 minutes but for the other 2 he'll get you 2 goals. So we haven't replaced with a goalscorer but we have some mediocre tryers - Anichebe, Stracq, Vellios, McFadden, McAleny - hence severe lack of goal threat. I think we need to get a penalty box striker and work on getting service in. Don't ask me who's available for free that's better than we've got though - much like Davey, I don't know either. Wish I was getting 50k a week to not know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcopaulo Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 he was good at finishing! he wasn't..if he was he' wouldn't be back in the championship..he has pace and positioning..if he was a good finisher too he would be at a top prem team..he missed so many sitters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So has Bily though and we know what the general view of him is, Beckford just did'nt have enough for me, thats why i think he was let go, but he cost us nothing, so it's worked out in the end imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of our other strikers have that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcopaulo Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 should have had more..don't ge tme wrong i liked beckford but he didn't score as many as he should when he did all the hard work to get in the positions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every player needs time to adapt - learn how to deal with getting closed down quicker, being marked better, all the pressure of 40000 people instead of 4000 people looking at you and screaming..... Its a world apart from the lower leagues and you need time to adapt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibdane Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Honestly, I thought it was a mistake to sell Beckford. He didn't really get to show all of his ability. He had a decent first year in the premier league, and I think he would've played even better this year. Maybe it just comes down to Everton and the bank. I just think, considering the options that we have now at striker, that it wasn't a good strategic move. No use crying over spilled milk though.

Romey 1878 Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 At least Beckford got in the positions to miss, Saha can't even do that . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn balor Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Im guessing poeple here dont share my opinion, What i ment was his movement, he was always trying to find space. I still believe that if we had someone in the middle with a great sense of football and killer delivery to get the ball to Beckford in space, he would have scored 15-20 goals per season in the prem. Got to agree the lad was rough around the edges gaurenteed but fuck me he scored ten and should have probably got double that from mostly coming on as sub. I dont think he was a great footballer and maybe £4 mill was good money but in and around the box he made things happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn balor Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Just be nice to know we have say 5-6 mill to spend. If we sell Bily we have to buy Onuoha regardless if we need a centre half or not, get him on a five year deal and the look to sell jags and pair him with Duffy. I think we need a fast mobile forward Doumbia at Cska would be my number one choice if we had that type of dough. I wouldnt bother with any prem/scot striker cos there is no value. £7 mill for Hooper? hows that work? would like to take a look at championship Sordell at Watford looks a player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blueherts Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Doumbia at Cska would be my number one choice I've been saying this for ages, especially as they would most likely take bily in some kind of exchange. scores goals for fun.

chicagoblue Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Apparently 50 in 64 in Switzerland and 29 in 41 for CSKA, but only 1 in 14 for the Ivory Coast. Only signed for CSKA last year though, and they never seem to sell for cheap. He's with the Elephants at the ACN, might be worth watching.
