'King James'

So news today is rife with James. Speculation has been growing over the last couple of days that James Beattie is set to return to Sheffield United. I think this is the best news the club has had for a long time. It would be a massive moral boost for everyone with the football club. Even at 33 he still has plenty to offer, and I don't see him having any problem getting the goals in League One.
He is not a man that needs any explaining for United fans, as he is nothing short of a legend in the modern day era of football at the Lane. His goal return was phenomenal when he was here, so I would be pleased if he turned up. So lets get down to the basics, he has been a good striker during his time (not the best) but still a good player. Its fair to say that his best time was when he was at Bramall Lane, but for some his time has past and the saying 'Never Look Back' may be appropriate for some. However I can see nothing but massive positives IF he was to sign for the club, because he has proved it and I still think he has a couple of years left him at the age of 33 he could do a job in League One. Again with my theme of getting straight back up to the Championship, I think he could still repeat his goal scoring of 08'. He is really in the same mould as Kevin Phillips, and I have no doubts that Kev will hit at least 10 next year even at the ripe age of 37. So if he can do it then why not King James...
