James Beattie has joined League One side Sheffield Utd on a short term deal. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/15872372.stm
He was training with Bournemouth last time I knew - they obviously didn't want him in the end! Clearly a player past his best.
Doubt it was any affinity to red and white stripes, as he went from us to the Blues of Everton! More likely it's to do with the colour of money.
He could have gone to Plymouth for some pocket full of pretty green. On the other hand they're skint, so that would have put him in a Jam
I bet he can still belt in a 20 yard screamer. Might struggle to run into the box and get on the end of crosses now though.
