Beckford to Newcastle United; What is a "ridiculous price?" TSS December 31, 2009 Leeds United 14 Comments The Jermaine Beckford transfer speculation has been going on for what seems like forever. Several clubs have been linked with him over the last year or so, but it’s Newcastle United who have emerged as the most likely destination after the barcodes manager admitted he was looking into the possibility. Meanwhile, back in Leeds, the management stand firm on their stance that he’s going nowhere unless a ridiculous offer comes in. Not so long ago when QPR and Wolves were being linked Grayson said that; “Selling him is not an option, unless someone is prepared to pay silly money for him.” Silly money, ridiculous price… etc… What is this ridiculous price though? Back when QPR and Wolves were being linked many thought it was somewhere in the region of £3m. Minus the 20% Wealdstone would take from a clause in Jermaine’s contract and that leaves £2.4m to find a suitable replacement – assuming the money is actually reinvested that is! Is it enough to replace Beckford and what do you think is a reasonable price? Poll now open below and comments welcomed as always. Happy with the signing of El Hadji Diouf?
