Offer accepted for Jermaine Beckford

[FoxCovert]

As long as we don't pat more than 4million i reckon this is better value than Maynard at 6-7

Patting cash in such a way is illegal.

 

[Scarby]

This has been hours now. It cant take this long for a medical and to discuss personal terms.

It's not just down to that though, is it. It's like a house buying chain.

I've just been watching East Mid News - crowd gathering outside the King Power in anticipation - I counted about 13 youths

the deal can be done subject to a medical. it shouldnt take this long to agree personal terms if the player is only dealing with one club. i suspect there are several strands to this and it may not be beckford or a n other but possibly both if deals can be agreed or perhaps no one if they cant. i think sven would like to bring in two strikers if he can. waghorn will go out if we sign someone.

I think I just wrote that, but in a more understandable and concise form

 

[lanxfox jnr]

I suspect some of us will be disappointed at 11pm tonight

 

[Lako42]

I suspect everyone would be disappointed if we failed to get a striker.

 

[sparky79]

I've got a feeling that we are going to be left high and dry with no striker(s). Which will be pretty embarassing considering our unsightly curtsying at the feet of every man who's found the back of the net more than ten times in the past three years. In for a penny in for a pound I think. If king power have 6.5m burning a hole in their sky rocket then they should just buy the league by spending ten mil on two strikers and make it almost certain we'll make the playoffs. 1 striker won't do thatIMO. That said, am still hopeful we pull of at least one major signing, one wide man and get Tunch back from Palace. Surprised we weren't back in for Gradel at 2million. If we are after a pacy man to play wide in a front three.

What makes you think we weren't?
There was speculation that we'd made a bid for him but he wanted to go back to France.

 

[Matt_B]

Beckford won't sign until Everton complete the signing of their loan striker (I forget his name) so we will be waiting on that.

 

[Graz]

Beckford won't sign until Everton complete the signing of their loan striker (I forget his name) so we will be waiting on that.

Pretty sure their loan striker (the Argentine one?) has already signed?

Worried that Yak to Blackburn and any Arteta move could scupper our chances with Beckford though.

Hope Sven still has other irons in the fire.

According to SSN they are still "in talks"

They say:

Leeds United have reluctantly accepted an offer from French club Saint-Etienne for Max Gradel.
The player, who joined Leeds for an initial fee of £200,000 when he moved permanently from Leicester in January 2010, submitted a transfer request earlier on Tuesday, stating his desire to secure a move to his 'native' France and play at the highest level for his career development.
There has been extensive interest in the player, who is out of contract at the end of the season, from both clubs in England and France, however we were reluctant to agree to a domestic transfer that could potentially harm our promotion ambitions.

 

[fitz]

Promotion ambitions? Haha

 

[escos66]

I was under the impression it was the other way around?

Hope we have a sell on clause

It's been reported that it was 15%.
