Wade Garrett Posted 30 August, 2011 Share Posted 30 August, 2011 Salary, ego, doesn't want drop from Prem, would expect start thereby would not fit with squad ethic, we wouldn't pay the £4-5m for him. Just for starters - is that enough? Of course he would expect to start. I wouldn't expect us to be paying top dollar for a Championship bench warmer. Salary could be a problem, but Everton have strict wage restrictions themselves so we may be able to afford his salary. Ego is down to Adkins to manage.

del boy Posted 30 August, 2011 Share Posted 30 August, 2011 I'm assuming that this is all in your opinion, and that the above post contains absolutely ZERO fact, so it was a complete waste of your time posting it really wasn't it? TBF if we only allowed facts on here we'd go weeks with nothing to read, in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden Balls Posted 30 August, 2011 Share Posted 30 August, 2011 What an amazing signing this would be. Him and Lambert would be unstoppable! Seems an unlikely signing but it's clear to see we're interested. I'm not sure about this ego thing. My housemate is a Leeds fan and said he always had a good relationship with fans as well as a great desire to win. Never came across as someone who was disruptive. He had a bit of a strop after our defence kicked him all over the park a couple of seasons ago. So what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Fan CaM Posted 30 August, 2011 Share Posted 30 August, 2011 Ok but how much of this do you know to be true? I am more confident about my comments as the opening poster is about us having a hope in hell's chance of signing Beckford. Pretty solid eh?

More likely him and connolly ! Lambert is a good link up player but i. n my opinion will struggle in this league through lack of pace and mobility Im not saying hes a bad player but we do need a striker whos strong( like Lambert) but has a turn of pace aswell.

The9 Posted 31 August, 2011 Share Posted 31 August, 2011 He had a bit of a strop after our defence kicked him all over the park a couple of seasons ago. So what? Had our defence actually fouled him in that match as opposed to him just diving every time the ball went near him you'd probably be hearing quite a few different opinions of him on here. But based on his one appearance at St Mary's he was a worthless primadonna with ideas above his station who looked like he couldn't be bothered.

weaver girl Posted 31 August, 2011 Share Posted 31 August, 2011 I don't know if anyone already mentioned this but I thought Adkin's post match comments about Beckford were interesting. To me they gave the impression that Adkin's felt he knew how to get the best out of him. Or maybe Adkin's was just teasing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctoroncall Posted 31 August, 2011 Share Posted 31 August, 2011 Deal is done. Maybe not? 1.48pm: This just in from Andy Hunter in Liverpool: "Everton have not broken the mould by signing Denis Stracqualuisi just yet. They have received a £2.5m bid for Jermaine Beckford from Leicester but whether the suddenly coveted striker wants to drop down a division is another matter. They still need some money in, and several clubs are interested in Yakubu, before Everton's club secretary can blow the dust off a transfer form and invite Stracqualuisi to sign. With his own pen."
