Toffees legend Sharp backs Beckford
Everton legend Graeme Sharp has tipped new signing Jermaine Beckford to succeed at Goodison.[LNB] The highly-rated 26-year-old joined the Blues from Leeds this week after establishing a reputation as one of the most lethal finishers outside of the Premier League.[LNB]And Sharp believes that under the guidance of David Moyes, Beckford could flourish in the same way that Tim Cahill did following his move from Millwall.[LNB]"I think the supporters have got to give him a chance. He has got to bed in and get used to the style of play," Sharp told evertontv.[LNB]"He will now be up against bigger, better and quicker defenders than what he has been used to. It will take some getting used to and it won't happen overnight but I think Jermaine will be looking forward to the challenge.[LNB]"It is a massive step up for him but David Moyes brought in Tim Cahill from Millwall and many of us questioned if he could handle the step up, myself included. It's not been a problem for Tim so hopefully Jermaine is the same."
