George Best.<FONT><P><STRONG><EM><PRE><DT><DL> 0 Posted August 19, 2003 The latest i''ve heard is that sheffield wednesday have put their oar in with a 1/4 mil bid today, but this follows palmers refusal of a 400k bid from northampton last month.Let''s hope we decide to flex what little extra financial muscle we do have and go a bit, (but not too far) closer to the £1m trhey seem to think he''s worth.Hell if rotheram could get 850k up front for moore then i wouldn''t be surprised if mr jjb jumped to it for the new "Becks" (by name not talent of course).Come on city, don''t be shy with that checkbook!

rich 0 Posted August 19, 2003 I haven''t heard too much about us being after him, would be good if we were though. Though I''d love to see Leon Knight at the club, the Chelsea lad. He is just an out and out goalscorer and is looking awesome at Brighton. I bet if we had his goals we''d be firing up that table. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rich 0 Posted August 22, 2003 according to that reliable source of scaremongering, sorry information, the mail, norwich have offered 200,000 for luke beckett. so quick vote, good or bad buy. Anyone know any stockport fans? what do they think? his record is good, but would he really fit into the system. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Snakepit Boy 0 Posted December 9, 2006 Rich - you mentioned Leon Knight, "the Chelsea lad". He left Chelsea more than three years ago having never played for them.You say he is looking awesome at Brighton - but he left there nearly a year ago, having been out of favour there for some time.He''s since been to Swansea, but they''ve sent him on loan now to Barnsley. He hasn''t scored for Barnsley.I don''t think he''s likely to fire us up the table, as you put it. Are you sure you''re not thinking of someone else? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZLF 261 Posted December 9, 2006 He is a solid bloke who never quite lived up to his early performances at Stockport - not sure that he is Champs class but nor are the ones we have at the more. He is a style of striker we need, which Leon Knight isnt (unless he is replacing earnie!) but not apriority in my books. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
