Eagles boss misses out on Beattie

28 August 2009 12:50
The former Celtic forward impressed in a loan-spell at Selhurst Park last season but has elected to join Swansea from West Brom, rather than return to Palace. Warnock told the London News Shopper: "I want someone who can play up front who will come on low wages, cost nothing and score 20 goals. "I thought I'd got Beattie but Swansea came in with a last-minute bid. It is hard work to get players."
