Lighthouse Posted 1 October, 2011 Share Posted 1 October, 2011 Did you notice if he paid for his own ticket? He's on the bench. We signed him on Wednesday and kept it quiet. Seriously though, the tie implies this is more than a casual visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spudders Posted 1 October, 2011 Share Posted 1 October, 2011 He's on the bench. We signed him on Wednesday and kept it quiet. The funny thing is, with the lack of communication from the club these days, it wouldn't surprise me if something like this was true! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Without a Halo Posted 1 October, 2011 Share Posted 1 October, 2011 WOULD you sign for them? YES i could. If he loved our club this would of been a straight NO Would it? Remember this is a man out of a job in a profession where you are unlikely to be working past the age of 35! would you turn down any contract at his age? I would take him on a match to match contract and see how it works out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pap Posted 1 October, 2011 Share Posted 1 October, 2011 What a load of crap. We've already had reports from posters on this very thread that he is a fat bast. They've also said "no thanks". Who are you going to believe? The ultra-reliable Beattie detractors or your lying eyes?* *Nicked from, as anyone with comedy taste will know, the late great Richard Pryor.

um pahars Posted 1 October, 2011 Share Posted 1 October, 2011 (edited) Would it? Remember this is a man out of a job in a profession where you are unlikely to be working past the age of 35! would you turn down any contract at his age? Can only presume Dazza's outrage should also be held against Channon, Ball, Davies, Stokes and a whole host of others who went east after playing for us (many having given us a decent and memorable service). But then again his approach is a tad hypocritical as on another thread he was saying that past players/managers had merely been paid to do their job, yet now he's asking for a kind of loyalty that would stop them from earning a crust (OK a fat loaf).

CB Fry Posted 1 October, 2011 Share Posted 1 October, 2011 WOULD you sign for them? YES i could. If he loved our club this would of been a straight NO Hmm, so ex-Southampton players have some kind of emotional contract with the clubs where they have their greatest success then? You're saying being a southampton legend is say, somehow, more than just a job? Well, um, not if you are Matt Le Tissier, it seems. Why should they - i know they are legends, but they were also paid to do the jobs they done. So I this "being a Southampton legend" is just a job sometimes and some kind of emotional blackmail at other times. Decided by you as and when. Beattie should sign for Pompey in a heartbeat if they want him. With the fan base we've got, we don't deserve any more bloody legends. Maybe Pompey might show some gratitude to him in the future instead of writing them off as employees paid to do a job like you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexdawkins Posted 1 October, 2011 Share Posted 1 October, 2011 Absolutely. I remember it well as he was only about 5 meters directly in front of me when he hit that strike. He ran off to celebrate then after a few paces stopped, just as his team mates piled on top of him. And after Bent scored the equaliser the first man on his shoulders in front of the away end was James Beattie. Let's not be silly - his team had just won with the last kick of the game...what do you expect him to do?! it was nice of him not to celebrate his own, goal but it is ridiculous to expect him not to celebrate when his team score a goal!

captain sensible Posted 1 October, 2011 Share Posted 1 October, 2011 At this stage of the game...top of the league..it makes perfect sense to look and acquire quality cover options. Beattie has the credentials and experience to provide just that. No sense in alerting all the other contenders to his availability. Good move. Looks like its happening. I am sure the Don has it under control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
