I think Beattie can be like our Alan Shearer, our Ian Wright, our Ian Rush, or in fact our anybody who has ever put the ball in the net for fun.
His mobility and fitness are unquestioned, as is his attitude.
No, I definitely think that Beattie can come to us and do so well, that in 40 years time, Mr Hayton, our chairman, will be welcoming him back in order to unveil a statue of him, or a plaque to mark the re-naming of a stand after him, in tribute to the 32 goals he scored for us in the 2010-11 season.
There we all are, waving at him, and tears in our eyes at the memory of it…….
And then I wake up and smell the coffee. It’s April 2011, we are rock bottom of the Premiership, and Beattie has played 9 games this season, due to inury and fitness worries, scoring 1 goal.And that went in luckily off his ar*e.
I’d drive Rodallega to Stoke for £7m + Beattie (would rather Fuller in all honesty but £7m alone is plenty for him). This lad has his good days but remember, he’s slower than slow and even though he had 3 yards on Big Sol against Arsenal he still came 2nd to the ball!
Bramble is prone to a mistake and, at the moment is crocked. Have you considered (due to him being overweight and clumsy) the backroom staff have discussed whether he can return to fitness after his injury and also whether he’ll be any better from last season. Remember, he was one of the many problems with our defence last season and was marking Jermain Defoe when we played Spurs away!
Figueroa and N’Zogbia are also being linked with moves but nothing is for certain. If a player doesn’t look interested then let him go, we don’t want players who don’t want to play for our club and i’m sure Roberto doesn’t want them here either hence the reason he sold Clattermole.
To call the club a joke is ridiculous though. The stories are all media speculation, remember Hugo was going to Arsenal, Villa and Stoke to name but a few in January. Birmingham have had 3 bids rejected for N’Zogbia which tells me Roberto plans on keeping him and if Figueroa goes them that’s fine, i’ve never known a full back get caught out of position so much! I like the lad, he’s one of my favorite players because of his build and no nonsense play but he’s not irreplaceable. Roberto wants 3 new faces and i’m sure he’ll have replacements lined up for anyone who does leave (he said so himself). Have faith.
Couldn’t agree more with Alex….calling the club a joke is ridiculous. Now the way Pompey have run their club is a joke, Hull giving an injury-prone Bullard £45K a week over 4 years is a joke, Everton losing a promising youngster because they didn’t put a contract offer in writing is a joke. Yes, not everything is perfect at Latics, far from it, but to label a small club like ours thats come through the divisions and is about to enter its 6th Premier League season, a joke smacks of another Wiganer looking for any excuse to winge and desert the club.
As for Rodellega/Beattie, speculation….that said I wouldn’t spend Bolton’s money on Beattie never mind our club’s, absolute carthorse and seemingly a bit of a troublemaker at a club where things have gone really well over the last 3 seasons or so.
This club hasn’t even done anything yet regarding Rodallega/Beattie – its newspaper gossip put out by Stoke
How on earth therefore can the situatuion or the club be described as a joke & why are you getting so worked up about something that hasn’t happened?
It was a pre season friendly at Oldham of all places. Hardly an FA Cup final. If their running around with huge smiles on their faces there id be more confused.

This club is a joke.
How about chilling out and waiting to see what sort of squad Martinez puts together and more to the point how we actually perform?
Anyone would think last seasons team was one of our greatest rather than the embarrassment they were for much of the time.

Sat here drenching myself with a bottle of Souther Comfort over my head. :shock:
Sat there with a bottle of southern comfort over your head? All you need now are some Swan Vestas. Ive heard of people committing self immoliation over political and moral reasons, due to perhaps an out pouring of grief about many hundreds of thousands suffering during a war or such like, but not about James Beattie. Maybe you will become the 2010s iconic image, like the one in the 60s of that monk burning himself to death in Vietnam (Thich Quang Duc was his name).
Im imagining the T shirt now – “the lord died to save us all, Dave saved us from Beattie”
