tbh in my knowledge of the lad its 2 games against prem opposition and 3 goals ok 1 was a pen that would still leavce 2 in 2 defo worth apunt
 

You seem to talk an awful lot of [Poor language removed] about him, so I decided to do some research of Beckford's goals this season for Leeds.

He has 20 goals this season between all competitions.

Leeds beats Man U 1-0, Beckford scores winning goal
Leeds beats Stockport 4-2, Beckford scores goal with Leeds down 2-1 and with Leeds up 3-2
Leeds beats Hartlepool 3-1, Beckford scores goal with Leeds down 0-1 and with Leeds up 2-1
Leeds beats Kettering 5-1, Beckford scores goal in extra time with Leeds up 4-1
Leeds ties Kettering 1-1, Beckford scores goal with Leeds down 0-1
Leeds beats Brighton 3-0, Beckford scores with Leeds up 1-0
Leeds beats Grimsby 3-0, Beckford scores with Leeds up 2-0
Leeds beats Yeovil 4-0, Beckford scores with Leeds up 2-0
Leeds beats Bristol 4-0, Beckford scores with the game tied 0-0, and with Leeds up 2-0
Leeds beats Norwich 2-1, Beckford scores with the game tied 1-1
Leeds ties Carlisle 1-1, Beckford scores off his own missed penalty with the game tied 0-0
Leeds beats Gillingham 4-1, Beckford scores with Leeds up 3-1
Leeds beats Colchester 2-1, Beckford scores with the game tied 1-1
Leeds beats Tranmere 3-0, Beckford scores with Leeds up 1-0
Leeds beats Walsall 2-1, Beckford scores with the game tied 1-1
Leeds beats Exeter 2-1, Beckford scores with the game tied 0-0 and with the game tied 1-1

So first of all, Leeds doesn't lose when Beckford scores. That's a cool stat. Anyway Out of his 20 goals, 12 of his goals tied the game or gave Leeds the lead.

Yes I was bored at work :P

so now that's 22 goals on the season, and Leeds still has yet to lose when he scores... the dude is a helluva goal scorer (y)
 
He is well worth going for. Many said just because he scored against United, that does'nt make him a good player, well he has just proven again that he can score against Premier League clubs away from Elland Road. What possibly could we lose by snapping this lad up??
 
I was laughing at those on here going mad at us making a move for a player on a free transfer who at worse we'd sell for a fee.

A healthy fee as well. A 20+ goal a season player, despite playing in the lower reaches could easily reach £10 million + in today's market.

Well a penalty and a tap in while on his ass :D
 
I think, given our financial situation, that the club see it as a decent business move. If he happens to score at the same rate in the Premier League his resale value will go through the roof and Moyes will look like a genius. If he flops then we cash in on him to the tune of £3m or whatever. We've already seen over the last week that £850k is more important to the club than having cover at centre back. Beckford's wage demands will be comparatively modest too, so there isn't really a lot of risk attached to the deal.
 
Yeah, in league one

By all means, if we get him, we get him.

But if anyone is expecting him to be a player that's gonna get a team 20 goals a season will be very disappointed.

Take this into account- would he get a chance in the England squad?
