Free agent James Beattie (1 Viewer)

[Paxman II]

Contract annulled at Rangers making him a free agent to sign for anyone.
Could he be worth a shout?

[Skybluesman]

Yes, but he'll have been on a lot of money, and I can't see him wanting to sit on the bench...

 

[Rocks]

I would love it but cant see it- bit like a sexy ghost.

Highly unlikely, think AT will have lower league targets in mind

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Done well with Sheff UTD when he was in this league. Big wages and fitness issues.

 

[SkyBlue]

Someone like Leicester or Cardiff will come in and get him, don't see us having a chance really

 

[Sky_Blue_Daz]

Rubbish couldnt score in the prem or SPL No good for us

 

[Rocks]

Daz wtf? He was amzing in the prem once upon a time. In a galaxy far far away.

Yea I still think his fitness has gone. I would rather skip this deal.

Can somebody enlighten me as to when Beattie last performed consistently at any level? He's a joke of a player still conning a living based on a good season or so about 10 years ago.

Anyone who wants to sign Beattie is a fool and must have graduated from the Big Ron school of managment.

I know he was on £40k per week with Sheff Utd. I don't think he would drop to whatever we are offering players in the space of 2 years.

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

His last good season 08-09.

 

[Rocks]

He scored 34 in 62 at Sheff unt not too long ago. Thats pretty much one in two.

BA Hons at Big Ron uni- "always let them eat at your table"

 

[Zen]

There's no way in hell we could afford his wages.

 

[Disorganised1]

I think he would still score goals at this level - but too old, he'd get kicked to bits, and it hurts once your past 35.

 

[Astute]

For the ones that say he will want 30k a week get realistic. His top earning days are over. If he is looking at our level or lower he would have no chance. There may be a chance of 5 to 10k a week but no more. Players of his age are either after a last payday or because they don't want to hang their boots up yet. Could be a good signing for someone. Not us though please.

 

[Gaz]

If we were going to pay big money for us on an old striker then would should have done it with Kevin Phillips and not JB.

I hope we leave this lad well alone tbh.

 

[skybluesteve76]

He's shite! End of

 

[Lanno]

Too much of a gamble.
