Sheff Utd bid for Beattie

New Sheffield United coach Bryan Robson has reportedly made an offer for Everton striker James Beattie. Robson believed that if Beattie was willing to drop down a division, the striker would help their promotion push.

Sheffield United are eager to return to the top flight after last season's final day relegation. Beattie has found his first team opportunities at Everton limited after the progression of youngsters James Vaughan and Victor Anichebe.
