Don't know if this is old news, but interesting if Beckford deal falls flat.

News to me, although this sort of rumour rarely goes far. Anyways he's a 29yr old Zambian who's had four decent seasons at Utrecht - a goal every 200 minutes in a team that's finished (chronologically) 7th, 9th, 11th and 5th.

He was all set for Wigan but now his agent is trying to hoik him round half the championship by the sounds of it.

An internet virtual fiver for anyone who guesses who his agent is!

Not our Wully ???

I'm gonna guess it's my Aunt Sally, but only because I didn't read the bit where it names Willie McKay.

He doesn't appear to play too many games a season. Is he up to playing 50 games a year in the Championship?

Bloody well hope so, I'm getting bored of this one.....

Beckford deal to be sealed in 24 hours

7:00am Monday 15th July 2013 in Sport By Marc Iles

AN end may finally be in sight to Wanderers’ longest-running transfer saga.

The club were yesterday cautiously optimistic that Jermaine Beckford could complete his move from Leicester City in the next 24 hours.

And what is more, it appears the 29-year-old striker will be arriving on a free transfer after coming to an agreement on the final two years of his contract at the King Power Stadium.

[mrpiccollo]

just scanned through available players and found possibly a few jem's if they will take reasonable wages

yossi benayoun - free
danny simpson - free
jermaine pennant - free
mathew upson - transfered to brighton and hove albion (seems we could have got him very cheap
william galass - free
zoltan gera - free

to think this is just a select few players i consider decent and are fairly famous names in england and we could likely have them all signed and paid for the season for less than elmander cost per year

on the other hand

yossi beneyoun - mark davies
danny simpson - baptiste
pennant - medo kamara
upson - knight (i really would have knight over lots of other options in defence i must be mad)
gallas - wheaters comeback
gera - CYL maybye holden

yea more than likely the would be pointless nvm

Spearing will end up back here I think.

Season loan with a view to a deal at the end of the season.

A deal not benefiting Liverpool, if his contract runs out then. They'd lose his wages (in part or toto) but not get a transfer fee. I'd imagine it's far from their first choice, and therefore wouldn't happen until late next month, at which point we may have decided we're alright without... or have spent our cash elsewhere.

I suspect that if it did happen, the structure of it would be similar to Paul Robinson's transfer in, and Al Habsi's out - effectively a down payment for the loan, then stump up the cash for the remainder.

Hmmmm, let me see.

"There is a lot of interest in Jacob," Mulenga's agent Willie McKay told Sky Sports.

Is it Eleanor of Aquitaine?

[Lord Kangana]

My moneys firmly on Craig Allardyce.

Veloso signs ????

[ChrisC]

PHIL Gartside has confirmed that Jermaine Beckford will soon be a Wanderers player.

The chairman told BBC Radio Manchester earlier today that a signing was imminent, and likely to be the last before the season opener against Burnley at Turf Moor on August 3.

“We have got one more at least, who we will announce very shortly, then it is a case of settling down and see where we go for the first few weeks of the season,” he said.

Gartside then confirmed the identity of the signing – revealing that a breakthrough had finally been made with Leicester City for the 29-year-old striker, as reported by The Bolton News this morning.

“We had a bit of a hiccup on Jermaine Beckford but we have probably sorted it out now,” he said.

“Jermaine will join us in the next couple of days.”

As well as remembering not to call Baptiste, Clinton, I must also remember that this bloke's called Jermaine Beckford, not Darren.

Darren Beckford. I will never forgive that fella.....

[wanderers_on_tour]

Wonder if Beckford will be a part tomorrow against Rotherham? Remember Eagles, Mears and Reo Coker featuring against Bury before we'd officially signed them.

So what happened to that so-called big name striker we were after? Nixon talking out of his ar$e or no chance in hell? Also disappointing as I was hoping we'd go after Spearing given that he seems to want to leave, Liverpool want shot and Blackburn out of the running...

Oh and I was always quietly hopeful that we'd at least bid for Dawson.

Read a little further.. Gartside say one more "at least" before the big kick off. Window is open until September 2nd. Plenty of time left for more once season starts.

[Michael Ricketts P45]

Nixon has stated the we've made a surprise signing that will be announced tomorrow. He's hoping to get it into the mirror tonight. Hopefully it's somebody exciting and not a cover player.
