Joe Royle reckons that a fully fit Louis Saha with Becks alongside him is the difference between Everton being a top six side, and relegation contenders.
Our injury-plagued Frenchman is one of the Premier League's top strikers when he's fit and firing but, all too often, he finds himself on the sidelines. Big Joe insists that been one of our biggest problems in a disappointing season.
Big Joe said: 'You guarantee me 35 games a season from Saha and I'll guarantee you top six. Get him out there and he's terrific, but he gets injured very easily.
'They need Saha out there. It's no coincidence that when he's out there Everton are at their best. He's as strong as an ox, he holds the ball up and is always a danger.
'Beckford has been outstanding value as a free transfer plus wages, and you wonder where they'd be without his goals this season.'
