Blades confirm bid for Toffees' BeattieSoccernet


Sheffield United have made a bid to take out-of-favour Everton striker James Beattie to Bramall Lane.


The Championship club have offered a fee of around £4million for the player who cost the Toffees £6m from Southampton in January 2005.


Boss Bryan Robson told the club website: 'We've put a bid in to Everton and we've got to wait and see.

'If I can persuade him to drop into the Championship, hopefully for only one season, he would be a good signing.'

Beattie has suffered a frustrating time at Goodison Park since his move two years ago.

He arrived on the back of a successful spell at Southampton, where he had broken into the England squad.

His 76 appearances for Everton, including 51 starts, have brought him just 13 goals and he has fallen down the pecking order.

Robson said: 'I've got a couple of things in the pipeline that are very close.

'Hopefully in the next 24 or 48 hours we can move forward with that.'

i doubt that Jan Koller would want to play in the Championship, Birmingham can chase all they want but I think they have to wait till they gain re-promotion
