Other fans, thinking slightly less outside the box, have inevitably latched onto the return of Jermaine Beckford, with not much else filling the #LUFC tag over the past few days. Beckford is rumoured to be on anywhere up to £40,000 a week at Leicester, with 3 years left to run, equating to about a £6m bill for Leicester. It seems an impossible task for Leeds to stump up that much even if Beckford has fallen out with manager Nigel Pearson, but if Beckford agreed to a pay cut, and Leicester waved the transfer fee, the deal could work – and Leicester’s books would look much more healthy. A move could well be on the cards, with more strikers arriving this summer and and expensive Beckford unlikely to be happily left in the reserves.
