We could get him fairly cheap and his goalscoring record is great.
Obviously two divisions lower than the prem but Liverpool signed Rush from Chester City after we passed on him.
He's got to be less of a gamble than Jo or Samaras.
Jesus mate, go to bed! Clearly need some sleep. ;)
In all honestly mate, it would be a good punt a few years ago, but now its the most exciting time in our history, and signing Jermaine Beckford would actually kill me. We have gave the Rags stick about Owen, but imagine what they would be like if we put in a bid, or even worse imagine the media. SSN - 'Our sources are saying that City have put in a 25 million bid in for Jermaine Beckford, but in all honestly, ive just made that firgure up to make City look like a joke, as we always do.'
I'm in California, 8 hours behind you.
I know we can aim higher, but my point is we could get Beckford for 6 million or less. I'd rather he developed here at City and we got him cheap rather than goes to Villa and we pay 35 million for him down the road if he comes good.
And the money we have, to buy somebody like him on the cheap really isn't much of a gamble.
He's got to be better than the likes of Benjani, Big Phil and Ched/Chad/Chav
