Wise warns Derby off Beckford bid Beckford has been in irresistible form this season for United Leeds boss Dennis Wise has told Derby there is no chance of them signing leading goalscorer Jermaine Beckford. Beckford netted his 16th of the season in the 1-0 win over Crewe on Monday, with Rams boss Paul Jewell watching on.
But Wise said: "We're a bigger club than Derby. OK, we're in League One, but why would he want to go there? "If you're talking about the big four or five then it's a bit different, but at the moment I'm not prepared to let him go to a place like Derby." Beckford has continued the superb form he enjoyed in the second half of last season on loan at Scunthorpe, where he netted eight times in 17 starts. "There are a lot of people looking at him but the problem they've got is he loves this club Wise on Beckford It has attracted the interest of Jewell, who has been busy strengthening his Premier League strugglers since the January transfer window opened. However, Wise says anyone keen on buying his star man is heading for disappointment. "There are a lot of people looking at him but the problem they've got is he loves this club," the United manager added. "He likes working with us and the lads, and he likes the environment - that's important to a player." _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
