Day Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Skysports.com understands West Bromwich Albion are monitoring the progress of Derby County defender Dean Leacock. The 26-year-old has impressed for the Rams this season and has made over 120 appearances for the club since his 2006 arrival from Fulham. His form has caught the attention of Premier League side West Brom, who could be in the market for new signings in January. The Baggies are currently in the midst of a defensive crisis, although that is largely down to suspensions ahead of the New Year's Day game against Manchester United. Gonzalo Jara and Gabriel Tamas will sit out the match due to bans, while Jonas Olsson is out with an Achilles injury and Paul Scharner has been struggling with illness. http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11095_6626371,00.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duracell Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Well there we are. I honestly think half of us Derby fans are completely off our nuts when we say Deano isn't good enough. He's been shocking lately but even the West Brom scouts have better memories than some of our fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sage Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 £1.5-£2.0 million please or FECK OFF! Based on Wednesday night, I think we should ask £1.50-£2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 You should be the owner of Derby, that's how they do things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeds Ram Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 shittu from millwall would be a disaster for us tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Yes, because he was ***** against us wasn't he? and Leacock and Barker are much better at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted December 31, 2010 Author Share Posted December 31, 2010 Just say Leacock does go, I can't see us bringing in any replacement now that Addison and Buxton are back training, Anderson won't be too far away now either. We arn't exactly thin on numbers in defence... Moxey Roberts Barker Addison Buxton Anderson O'Brien Brayford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeds Ram Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 tbh he wouldn't work with us because you would play barker and shittu together which would mean you would have no pace at cb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Oh, please tell me where the pace is at the moment in Barker and LeaCOCK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeds Ram Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 supposidlly leacock has some pace, but if you played 2 cb's with NO pace then we would ahve to play deep to cover us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 I could run faster than Leacock, Earnshaw showed how much pace our defence has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeds Ram Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 well yes but leacock does have some pace, traditionally attackers are faster than defenders but you need a little pace there at cb whcih we wouldn't have, plus shittu is really immobile and it would be a disaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsmini Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Is it time to give O'Brian a start? I also like Jake Buxton as he plays with his heart on his sleeve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 I like Leacock but for 1million+ I would be laughing, he has struggled to get to the standard of his first season and has become injury prone, he would run through walls for this club, I genuinely believe that but I wouldn't have any worries if he was to go for a decent fee.

He's been shocking lately but even the West Brom scouts have better memories than some of our fans. he isn't good enough. And this is quite possibly an agent trying to whip up interest in a player. Interesting that the story breaks after he got slated by Clough who said that his supposed Premier League experience counts for nothing with us.

Interesting that the story breaks after he got slated by Clough who said that his supposed Premier League experience counts for nothing with us. Surprised that interest has been shown suddenly, right after his worst ever display in a Derby shirt. Derby don't sell players for the right price, we only sell at a cut price. Expect nothing more than 100 - 250k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
