I wouldn't have minded him here http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/30650031 Almost certainly unfit and well overpaid, he's gone to the right place though, where he can join a lot of other ageing overpaid journeymen, their wage bill must incredibly high.

Esmond Million's Bung Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 If they can get Beckford and keep SEB fully match fit, they'll have a couple of very good strikers for this level. I thought they would be the main opposition for us... Doesn't appear to have scored for nigh on 2 years, IMO they are welcome to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think?, with ex prem has beens, Kilkenny and a host of ex championship players?, I think you are well wide of the mark, our wage bill has been kept low by signing younger players and a small squad, how big is your squad?. Which is why we still have money to spend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRock Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 Investing in proven scorers - no doubt learnt from our failure to do likewise when we were in a strong position in the Championship. Ewe-Blake, Beckford, Davies and (albeit injured) Garner. That's impressive. If we can match that sort of attacking line up in a week or so, we'll be in line to be crowned champions.

Robbored Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 Beckford and SEB as a striking pair would have been a dangerous combination when they were both at their prime. Fortunately neither of them are as useful as they once were and that's why they're both playing in League 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blakey hasn't scored for ages, Beckford 2 from 8 and Davies 0 from 21, proven but hardly on fire. He's not played this season. If they can get him match fit (I think they can) then he's more than capable of getting a few goals for them at this lowly level. They have a good team with great experience, not impressed with them at AG even though they somehow won, but I still maintain they will finish in the top two with or without SEB. Hasn't played much in 12 months, his debut for Ipswich only lasted 29 minutes, hopefully the sort of signing that we have consigned to history, we've been there and done that far too many times, that is my opinion, but hey ho.

Guest Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 Asked myself would I be pleased if we signed him instead and honestly I wouldn't be any more than indifferent. He's off fire, unfit, ageing and who knows how he would apply himself. Sounds like the sort of disappointing waste of money risk area of signings. I am surprised this has happened so quickly. The transfer window isn't even open yet. Clearly PNE don't think they can do better and have acted quickly. Perhaps he came across well in discussions.

GrahamC Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 He's trained with both Brentford and Bradford this season without getting a deal at either. Very injury prone over the last few years, not someone that I'd have liked us to sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esmond Million's Bung Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 Can't argue with that, but as a short term signing its a gamble worth taking, bit like us with 35 year old Wibraham perhaps.... Except it was more of a calculated risk, Wilbraham to my knowledge has not been injury prone, PNE have at least 4 players who are 27+ that came from a higher standard and a host of 28 year olds up to and including a 33 year old who are probably entering their final hurrah and probably not coming cheaply, he sort of fits the bill for them but not for us IMO. They now have a 28 man squad, with 3 out on loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS3_RED Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 We should have got SEB from Plymouth when Wolves got him. It was our Wembley season and he alone would have made the difference that year and we would have gone up top two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agard and Wade Elliot will be on more than Kilkenny, Davies and Garner combined. Davies is reportedly on only 2k per week, for example. Beckford & Gallagher aren't our players. And Ebanks-Blake will be on next to nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Red Rich Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 Ridiculous decision not to offer him a contract. With previous successes such as David James, Marcus Stewart, Michael Bridges, Nicky Hunt, Nicky Shorey etc etc I don't know why we haven't got our cheque book out for this marquee signing. Our current recruitment policy of signing lower league talent is failing miserably. Sack the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you are correct, which you are not, you have 11 more squad players than we do, that are significantly older to boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preston N.E Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 Its more likely that Kilkenny is on more than Elliott and Agard combined. This guesswork is easy innit. The highest earner at PNE is Garner, on a whopping 4k per week. What's Agard on again? Can't be peanuts, considering he left Championship club Rotherham to join you lot.

It's more about squad size than pointless debates about what each player is earning as you and I both don't know! The fact is, you have a squad of about 30 and we have about 20. Your wage bill will be higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samo II Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 Not concerned we've not signed him, but if he gets fit and the bit between his teeth they'll have someone who'll score at this level. It is undoubtably a gamble, but even punts on long odd pay off. Although he's not the type of player I want to see us signing, I do think we need another option. Has been mentioned by others as well as myself, but wouldn't mind us taking a risk ourselves on the likes of Tom Nichols down at Exeter. Just in a nice bit of form and both young enough to be a long term investment, whole having played enough games for a man his age to show can handle first team football. If nothing else it might put the wind up Agard and encourage him to start putting away more of the chances he's presented with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really believe that? **** me we'd better alert the gas they are looking for a striker and he might fall within their pay structure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
