beckford...................honest thoughts!

Well, its a gamble.

Sammy Koejoe was bought on the basis of watching DVD's.

This is a statement and I will not be surprised to see a big buy on a striker

[Factamondo]

i hope we have unearthed a rescious gem but id prefer not to use alchemy!

This may be a gamble to the average fan, but Gorman knows his stuff. He's been watched for a long time by all accounts...You gotta trust there knowledge!

[BuzsakyIsGod]

Beckford would have been a gamble too.

heck whoever we will sign will be a gamble!

Well we wanted the staff to pick the players not the owners, my glass is half full not half empty

[QPR1234]

beckford is over rated and very over priced.. this kid we got i dont know about..

which beats beckford ;)

[qpruleok]

Massive price and gamble the add ons must be a big list surely at this price. We are talking an unproven 22 year old in his own country only played argie div2, never mind coming over here and playing in the rough and tumble of the championship. As for trusting Gorman what little gems as he come up with in the last few years, please share as I would be very interested to know:shocked::shocked::shocked::shocked:

Ronaldo was a gamble when first signed for by United. Walcott was a gamble for Arsenal.

Man City bought Elano based on watching him on DVD so sometimes it works they also bought Bianchi after studying footage of him and that didn't work.

Agree!

[qpruleok]

A big difference between young teenagers and someone 22 years of age. As stated lets hope he's brilliant Magiltons job depends on it knowing Briatore's track record

It's not a gamble, they have been scouting him for a while by the sounds of it so the research has been done you would hope he will turn out to be a good player! I can't see JM spending 3.5m on sum1 who he knows won't cut it I wouldn't imagine he would be stupid enough to spend that sort of money and risk the the wrath of the fans and Flavio unless he thought he was going to be a decent player!
