Did I not give my source? I couldn't care less whether you think my posts have any credibility or not.
I would take him if we could get him. Proven goalscorer at L1 level, consistently on the scoresheet for 2 seasons. Also scored plenty out on loan in L1. Can't say much about his performances for Leeds in Championship (4 or 5?) as he was only a young lad and hadn't played any professional football before then, just scored plenty at Wealdstone. He was at Chelsea's academy. I think he looks like a rough diamond. Confident he could do it at Championship level, up to the management to sort him out otherwise because he can be a sulker. Gerrim in.
Beckford in my opinion is a player we should bid for. Looks like a better gamble than some of the foriegn signings we have made. Plus making a bid for him should, for me, suggest we are trying to sign decent players who would improve our team.
RE:not sure but didn,t we try to sign him when leeds went down lad at work said derby are after him want about 1.5 million for him,12 months left on his contract
striker is the hardest position to fill. Every team wants a top striker. Thats why league 2 players can command 4-5k a week which is on par with our top earners. Look at Jamie Ward. I bet you Simon Cox goes for big money in the summer. No wonder Davey has to look abroad. He did really well to bag Hume at the time. I know everyone complaines about crap foreign imports but when we are blown out of the water for league 1 & 2 players what choice does he have?
