no....10 goals in 2,002 minutes.

2 penalties. I'd score 8 goals in 2,002 minutes

Fact is, wages are too high for us, not a snowballs chance he is coming

2002/90 = 22

I mentioned the minutes as a way of highlighting that he didn't play in all the games.

You mentioned the minutes because 2002 looks like a high number, but when you break it down, it isn't.

Leicester players have a wage cap in place, even though they've spent loads of dosh they still have contracts under control.

I was told LIW from avery good source that he was on 25k at Everton and then 40k at Leicester and for the record how much do you think Mills is on!

How many starts?

What you think I am Opta? Go check it out yourself. I've told you he's played in 40 games for a total of 2,002 minutes scoring 10 goals, 8 open play, 2 from penalty spot. Has picked up 3 yellows while with Everton.

He is a quality player but as I previously said, unproven in the championship as of yet...

Beckford is a very good player and he would do a job in this league.

Some fans just don’t like him cos hes cocky and they think hes lazy. Don’t think so.

He knows how to work the ball, hes fast, he can get you that goal. I do despair at our fans sometimes. I’d have him back anytime over Becchio, Mr Workhorse. Just because he works hard doesn’t mean he is talented or gifted. He’s not.

i'd have him back too Pags.
I was just stating that he is unproven in the Championship. GO didnt agree so I had to get all 'statty' on his ass!

How are come you are able to break down the minutes but you can't say how many starts?

My whole point is that he didn't start 40 games or come close to anything like 40 full games.

Yet you're still trying to twist it as if he was hopeless at Everton.

As I said, it's harder to get into a game when you don't start, so 10 goals in 2002 minutes is actually better than 10 in 22 full games.

As I orginally stated, to say that someone is unproven in the Championship when they've scored goals in the Premier League is ridiculous.

You might as well say Robin Van Persie is unproven in League 2.

comment by LUFCXI (U2014)

but he has barely played Championship football GO.

So because he didnt start games, should the games he started on the subs bench, those goals shouldnt count?

I never said he was useless at Everton but he definitely wasnt brilliant - he was a stop gap.

8 goals

My whole ****** point is that the goals count!

It's you who's running him down!

What's wrong with you?

If you're proven at a higher level, why does it matter that you've not played at a lower level.

Yet more farcical comments on here!

Beckford was a success for Everton and the goals he scored were all important or against decent opposition.

Scored a class goal in the 94th minute v Bolton to rescue a point.

Scored at stamford Bridge to earn Everton a point in the last 5 minutes.

Put Everton 2-1 up at Anfield a game they got a point from.

Scored against Blackpool to put Everton 4-3 up.

Scored a brace to win against Sunderland 2-0.

Scored the 1st in a 3-0 win at Wolves.

Scored the only goal in the final game to beat Chelsea which was one of the goals of the season.

At prem

He stated only 14 games

And scored 8 goals
