Blades line up more Beattie talks
SHEFFIELD United and James Beattie will return to the negotiating table this week in an effort to prolong the former England international’s stay at Bramall Lane.
The League One club, who last night confirmed they will not appeal Beattie’s sending-off during Saturday’s match at Charlton Athletic, revealed the 33-year-old has received “other offers” since returning to South Yorkshire in November.
However, the fact that both parties plan to hold another round of talks before this weekend’s FA Cup tie with Birmingham City suggests Beattie’s preferred option is to remain with Danny Wilson’s side.
The striker met with members of United’s board in London on Friday when proposals detailing pay and other prospective terms and conditions were discussed.
Beattie’s dismissal for violent conduct towards the end of a controversial defeat at The Valley means he is suspended for the visit of Chris Hughton’s side.
Wilson, the United manager, hinted Beattie had been approached by teams “from outside of this country,” after describing referee Darren Deadman’s decision to dismiss him as “pathetic”.
Should Beattie pen an extended contract with United, he is also scheduled to miss the forthcoming games against Colchester and Wycombe Wanderers but would be eligible for selection when they travel to second-placed Huddersfield Town on February 14.
The ban can not be immediately be enforced if he moves outside of the Football Association’s jurisdiction but would instead lay on file until he resumed his career in England.

Friday, January 27, 2012 at 09:34 AMUTO: You seem to be thinking that Evans is already guilty, innocent until proven on this island. Dont let your hatred for us cloud this fact. Either way this his case goes, one set of fans is due a mighty backlash on here. Back to yhe story, JB has signed until the end of the season, great news. Just shows what BS the pigs were spouting about him doing one as he didnt want to drop to 2k per week UTB

Wednesday, January 25, 2012 at 10:09 PMRotty see my post about the ra pist Evans!!!!! Enough said, I realise that what he did to that poor girl is no where near as bad as not paying tax on £183 grand. MM and the future England manager should get sent down for 100 years hard labour and the Angelic Evans be made the nations women's ambassador. Jesus doesn't that make me sound like a blunt....... more so doesn't that make me sound like Alien Blunt!!!!! UTO

Hello Silver, don't go down the route as AB and start sounded like a sad pathetic loser, you my friend are above that!!!
