James Beattie on a free??

 

[um bongo molongo]

James Beattie?

Just announced on sky sports he's had his contract cancelled at Rangers, now a free agent. Certainly a 'striker with presence'...

 

[Brighton till i die]

James Beatie, free agent

Just been said on ssn James Beatie has just been relesed and now a free agent.

Never really rated him that high but hes certainly a big lump if thats what GP is after!

 

[Clive Walker]

Hello

 

[Rich Suvner]

worth a punt

 

[peterward]

these days, he's seriously

 

[Mr Blobby BHA]

if free and relatively low wages as im not sure how much money gus has left but yeah worth a try

 

[Chicken Runner61]

Done nothing lately and allegedly caused trouble at most of the clubs he has been at.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

If he wants what he was earning at Rangers we should steer well clear.

I think he could still do a job in the Championship though and wouldnt be surprised to see him end up at Southampton again as he lives there

 

[peterward]

he's a tit with an attitude problem

 

[always a seagull]

A seagull living Glasgow who's been watching rangers he's well passed it slow never fit leave him alone never good enough for the Albion even on a free

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Steer well clear for me.

 

[beorhthelm]

would be good as a pyhisical presence, but if he done nothing at Rangers in that pub leauge, probably not upto it anymore.

 

[Fred Oliver - Legend]

i have a mutal friend of his and he told me last week that he is desperate to go back to southampton.

 

[BUTTERBALL]

No thanks.

Me too Fred. He wants to go back but they don't want him it seems. Steer clear Albion.

Sounds like a big time charlie player who realises he is past it and is now desperate.

Give Palace a try James.

 

[Zebedee]

Thanks but no thanks - unless he's prepared to be a squad member and play for nothing.

Surely this has "Sven Signing" written all over it.

It's a name he's heard of, and someone he can still bring in now, even with the window shut. Whether the player is worth the transfer fee / wages doesn't seem to come into it, he's just high on the rush of signing players, and it's a rather scattergun approach.

We've done that in the past, and it was horrible. I much prefer the Gus / Bloom approach of seeing a target they like, research him properly, and then chase until you get him.
