Transfer Rumours/Signed

DavidHarveysMonkey

Everything hangs in the balance dependent on whether we get promoted or not but I believe we are keen to get Dickinson back from Stoke and he's keen to return. The word from the dressing room is priority is to get the defence rock hard and contracted and not loaned.

DavidHarveysMonkey

And just so we don't forget:
Arsenal
Man U
Fulham
Villa
Newcastle
all made bids or watched Delph closely and the people around Delph at the PFA awards made it very clear to my LUFC supporting mate from Sky TV that he'd like to play in the Prem.

DavidHarveysMonkey

A footballing source in the city not connected to the club has also claimed that Grayson would take good money for Beckford providing a decent replacement can be found.

Harvest

You got any good news???

DavidHarveysMonkey

Well we don't need to sell anyone for financial reasons and if you look back over the last five years we've probably spent more money on players than anyone outside the Prem. So I'm hoping we go up and add about three or four class new players to the existing mix.

Harvest

That's more like it.

A move upwards with another club for Beckford would be disastrous. He's just about found his level but might do ok at Leeds in the Championship as the team knwo how to play to him (and his strops)

DavidHarveysMonkey

I think Beckford would do fine in the Championship with fast wingers and a decent ball playing midfielder around him, regardless of who he plays for. i think he'd get found out once he was up against really good centre backs though in the Prem.

I also think Delph is a way off Prem standard yet. He's really looked less influential since everyone's been alerted to him. They'd both do well wil space but can you imagine Delph getting any change out of Mascherano or Barry or Essien?

DavidHarveysMonkey

They should both stay with us until someone's knocking down the door with silly money

Beckford stays. Delph to go.

I have no issue with that in reality. I would argue losing Snodgrass would be the biggest blow in many ways. Beckford won't go anywhere because no one will take him. Simple. And we don't want to let him go because he's worth 34 goals and at least we are used to his stroppy ways.

By the way just heard on Clubcall that we're in for Tomáš Skuhravý and it's on teletext too.

So Delph has admitted he'd like to play in the Prem, and rumour has it that SG would accept good money for Beckford.

Blimey, where do all these astonishing rumours come from?

He's stroppy and arrogant but he's not stupid. Or at least I hope his agent isn't.

I heard he was stupid, 'thick as shit' was the phrase.

I think you have to be to be a brilliant footballer in some ways. The second you start thinking you start missing the net. Gazza is a brilliant example.
