He was the Championships leading scorer in 2013. Not sure what more you want.

I'd like a young prospect with something to prove like the lad WBA borrowed from Chelsea. They don't grow on trees, but if Dougie is capable of finding Medo  there is hope he could pull a rabbit out of the hat like we used to in the old days. Eidur Gudjohnssen for example.
Beckford has had his chance at the top level and been average at best, whereas a prospect would be lower risk and if he doesn't pan out we wouldn't be tied to a massive wage bill, but if he fulfilled his potential we could be on to a winner.
For £38k + I'd be expecting a top striker and we could get one from Argentina or Africa for that money if we were going down the has-been route.
But I think we should be taking more of a chance by investing less money on a relatively younger unknown quantity rather than trying to buy our way into the Prem on a short-term basis.
We need new blood, not soiled goods.
