Beckford

Jesus, that is a decent price tbh. I might have a dabble myself.

Sadly if Rovers do keep hold of Rhodes and sort the mess out off the pitch for a few months I can't see them being that far off the play offs.

Hopefully someone (us hopefully) can take Rhodes off them and they won't have a chance of promotion.

I think Rhodes will be the only reason why they survive in the Championship next season. They would have gone down last year if it wasn't for his goals.

Did you see Rhodes goals last season? They were entirely dependent on the service he got. The way we were set up our strikers didn't get half as many clear cut chances.

This Beckford saga has gone on too long, can't wait for it to be all sorted

DOUGIE Freedman would be happy to see Jermaine Beckford's move from Leicester City costing Wanderers a packet.

The Jamaica international striker will be unveiled at the Reebok tomorrow after weeks of negotiations between the two clubs.

Freedman revealed that the deal will involve a small up front fee – but could escalate in cost if the former Leeds United and Everton man helps Wanderers into the Premier League with a hatful of goals.

“Jermaine's deal was done as of about three hours ago, so in the morning it will be announced,” Freedman said. “We've all worked very hard – even Leicester, to be fair – coming to a deal.

“We feel it's a good deal for the football club. He's a proven goalscorer, I know his character well and the deal is done on a performance-basis.

“For the deal we've got it's an absolute no-brainer for this football club for where we are right now.

“There is a very small fee involved up front but it's tied in with promotion and how many goals he scores – that's how Leicester will get their money. So if we benefit then Leicester benefit and that's why it has taken a little bit longer.

“I think Phil Gartside has done very well in making sure this deal went well for the football club.”

Wonder if the 2 criteria are linked or separate?
E.g. do we pay Leicester a shedload if we get promoted but Beckford scores 3 all season?
Or Beckford scores 15 and we don't get promoted?
For me it would be an "absolute no-brainer" if, and only if both criteria were met.

Or maybe we only pay if he scores 2 goals with his right foot and one with his head but less if he completes 30 passes in one game and 65 passes in October.

Beckfords first interview with bwfc, seems to be very happy at working with Dougie again:-

Is that fake?

Beckford was only mentioned to sell season tickets.

so it must be.
