Liam Dickinson could yet be on his way to Elland Road
Derby County misfit Liam Dickinson is again the target of Leeds United. The Yorkshire club failed in a bid to bring Dickinson to Elland Road due to an administrative error, they were actually just 14 minutes late in meeting the football leagues deadline for the loan deal to go through.

Dickinson has impressed Leeds manager Simon Grayson and it was Grayson who signed Dickinson earlier this season for Blackpool, where he scored four goals in just five starts and two sub appearances, proving he can score at Championship level.

A drop to league one with Leeds was hoped by Grayson to encourage competition for places and Dickinson has proved he is a goal scorer at all levels recently, which would aid Leeds floundering promotion prospects.

Dickinson is still on the Rams books but again seems to have been overlooked by manager Nigel Clough, who promised to give everyone a fresh start with the club. The next two weeks will decide if Dickinson has a future with Derby County or Leeds...
