Wouldn't have happened if McCabe hadn't forced him out first time around

Agent Beattie reporting for duty....

 

[Bruce Wayne]

He's dead to me.

 

[BettingBlade]

Sure it won’t take long for him to contract swine flu

 

[GrayBlade]

Always going to happen.

He's not a Blade, why not?

 

[Sean Thornton]

He's dead to me.

He was more or less dead when we signed him the second time.

 

[Caseh]

He's not a blade, so to him it's just a job. No issues with him going there.

 

[Dimyan93]

Fair play he's showing loyalty to Monk, who will probs be gone in a year or two if their trend of firing/hiring manager continues, so who cares.

 

[Digs blade]

Agree with many that I’ve no feelings either way about this, other than if things go wrong it will be fun to hear the piggies bleating on about ex blade this ex blade that.

Beattie was great for us first time round, 2nd time not so, other than that he’s not a blade as Caseh says so really couldn’t care less

 

[Ainsley Harriott]

One of my all time favourite players for us.

Tarnished.

 

[grafikhaus]

41-and-a-half years old. Failed at Accrington Stanley. Should fit right in at Hillsborough.

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

Get him up front.

He's still better than Fletcher.

 

[TAMUS]

The Cart Horses at the sty need more than Beatie to make them score , he would be a fool to go .

 

[mattbianco1]

Officially signed on at the pigs. He'd have been better off signing on the dole.

First choice Centre forward??

 

[Bladesthorpe]

Gone to Villa.

 

[BLADES1988]

He is their best striker by a mile now. Hilarious

 

[LJBlade]

He is their best striker by a mile now. Hilarious

He’s their only striker isn’t he? Jordan Rhodes surely doesn’t count

 

[Blade56]

Nob head

 

[JPBrods]

Agent Beattie? Come in Agent Beattie do you read me?

 

[BladeInIreland]

Doesn't bother me, he ain't going to be banging 30 yard free kicks in for them.

 

[northsomersetblade]

Beattie for oink manager when monk gets the chop, as he surely will?
It’s rare for a blade to go to the dark side but relatively common for a pig to see the light (ok not terry Curran )

 

[mancunianblade]

Pretty sure they have other ex blades on the staff.

Isn’t Ashley Fickling there? Don’t see him getting hammer

 

[Sean Thornton]

He was an embarrassment the second time we signed him. The first time some younger Blades are still in awe of him which is fair enough, but it’s hardly like Dane W joining them is it?

That’s a reasonable comparison

 

[oldblade]

Not gone there as a player. Unsurprisingly, given his age.

Very few United players have gone to Wednesday as players. The last one I think was Imre Varadi and he left us 41 years ago. Unless we count Earl Barrett who was only with us on loan.

Nob head

Why is he a 'nob head'?

Was John Harris a 'nob head'?

He went to Wednesday as a scout.

Keith Treacey went to them on loan in their promotion season. He was with us before. There will be a few more examples I'm sure. But that one springs to mind first off
