Franny Jeffers....

Behold Lecott: here is your future.

 

[Upper Sturry Sherbets]

Jeffers was in his element about a decade ago, and I remember reading a spread all on Premiership teams and the season that had just passed 1998/99, and Jeffers was the (everton) name for the future, (he's still only young, but there are goals a plenty bursting out of that pencil frame, he only needs a few yorkshire puddings to beef him up), or something of that nature, Campbell was fans favorite of the year, even if he had only joined from Turkey quite late into the season.

Think we reached the FA cup quarter finals that year, which in those days was quite an achievement.

Former Everton striker Francis Jeffers, meanwhile, is back at Finch Farm...Jeffers, who played for an Everton XI in Jamie Carragher’s testimonial at Anfield on Saturday, has been told by David Moyes he can train with the Blues while he is in between clubs.
Jeffers, 29, was released by Sheffield Wednesday at the end of last season.


Should Beckford be looking over his shoulder?

No ,but he needs to step up quick. Because he's looked poor as fukk.

Jeffers never looked at home anywhere other than Goodison. It's time for the Jug's return.

 

[Seamus Colemole]

Probably a better option than any of the strikers we have at the moment :-(

All we need to do now is get Cadamarteri back.

Don't know why we're allowing him to train with us. We gave him his big chance and he fecked off, we even gave him a second chance and he was apparently acting the maggot, and now even lower league teams don't want him. I can't see what he can possibly contribute to the club, but there is a chance he could be disruptive. It's like we're running a charity here or something.

A bit harsh on Beckford, he hasn't been that bad.

Yeah I agree. Beckford can't be blamed for us not scoring. He's had no chances. None at all.
As for this. Its not like he's playing for us just training. Happens all the time.

I think it'd be kinda cool if we signed him again. Maybe playing for us would sort him out. Obv he wouldnt be a first teamer, but maybe he could get some of his form back. He's a free player, doubt he'd cost much in wages, would probably be happy playing in the reserves. Why not?

Would be funny to laugh at Arsenal fans. Sold for £8m was it? Back for free. However, he is awful nowadays!

I've seen nothing to suggest he's awful or completely out of his depth, that's not to say he'll be a regular goalscorer, but he's got enough about him to be a nuisence at this level. We paid 8.9 million for a very similar player in Andy Johnson.

The problem for Beckford is the service and the fact that he's being asked to play upfront on his own. There's much more responsibility on the striker and he's going to have to adapt to that. He certainly hasn't shied away from it, he dropped deep quite a few times to try and influence the play.

We have some very intelligent footballers but everything is pass, move and to feet, we play infront of teams, and Beckford is obviously a player who likes to attack space and run in behind opposition defences. Arteta plays a bit too deep to slip him through and Pienaar, who's capable of that reverse through ball from a left-central position, isn't at his best yet.

He needs a creator in the mould of Thomas Gravesen or a Manuel Fernandes really.

Johnson had pace and scored. Beckford has a touch of a child molester that's as subtle as a brick to the teeth.

Other than that....20 goals nailed on I say.
