Beattie a bargain for Potters

JAMES BEATTIE proved again in tonight’s win at home to Bolton that he is a shrewd investment in Stoke’s battle to secure their Barclays Premier League status.

Signed in the January transfer window from Sheffield United, the striker got his side off to a flying start in this last night’s crucial clash against Bolton by making it five goals in seven appearances.

Bolton never really recovered, and substitute before Ricardo Fuller sealed the points by extending Stoke’s the lead in the 73rd minute.
