FFS typical greedy Premiership clubs poaching our players!
I bet Beattie doesn't even get played! We should still have never sold Hulse, now who are we going to play? Henderson? I'm not convinced he's up to it, but I can't comment because I haven't been to a match in months but I've not seen his name on the scoresheet lately.

Stoke move for striker Beattie
Beattie has scored 34 goals in 57 league starts for Sheffield United
Premier League side Stoke City have agreed a fee believed to be about £2.5m for Sheffield United striker James Beattie, BBC Radio Stoke reports.
It is understood that Beattie visited the Britannia Stadium on Friday to discuss terms over a possible move.
The former England international, 30, who joined the Blades for £4m from Everton in 2007, has scored 12 goals in the Championship this season.
Stoke completed the signing of Matthew Etherington from West Ham on Thursday.
Beattie began his career with Blackburn Rovers, before leaving to join Southampton in 1998.
The 2003/04 season saw Beattie score 17 goals for the Saints which led him to move to Goodison Park in January 2005.
Beattie has also won five caps for England, making his debut in the 3-1 defeat to Australia in February 2003.
