Speculation The annoying, but traditional, totally unfounded Summer 2012 rumours thread

[Graz]

It was only a few years ago that he looked great in the Prem and was being linked with Chelsea as a long term replacement for Drogba.

I still think our strikers are good enough to get us promoted and are just off form... but if there's a chance for something better, go for it.

Jones would be an outstanding loan signing for us - and then Beckford can go to Huddersfield...but saying that I still think we should gamble on him tomorrow night, as if by some miracle he is up for the game he will score - which our other strikers seem to have a problem with at the moment.

From the Mirror:

Kenwyne Jones is wanted by Championship rivals Leeds and Leicester.

Stoke boss Tony Pulis is ready to let the Trinidad & Tobago international go out on loan following the capture of Michael Owen.

Leeds boss Neil Warnock wants Jones to replace Ross McCormack, who is facing at least a month on the sidelines with an ankle injury.

Scotland international McCormack is undergoing scans to determine whether he has suffered a break or ligament damage.

Warnock said: “We are looking for someone who can improve the squad, and we would love to get a striker in before playing Nottingham Forest on Saturday.

“Most of the better players have already gone out on loan and, as it is, we can’t really replace Ross because we’re a bit thin on the ground.”

Leicester chief Nigel Pearson has also targeted Jones, 27, to boost an attack that is finding goals hard to come by this term.

And not from the Mirror:

In other news, it's being suggested in Huddersfield circles that they've been told they can have Beckford on loan until Jan as long as they commit to pay us £1m to make it permanent then.

Yeah, we took Ross out early on Satdee, nice work. Apologies if this means you don't get Jones however.

He scored Altrincham's only goal so I think he probably did play.

It was a different game in the second half as Alty went at the visitors. They finally got a goal after 69 minutes when substitute Duncan Watmore's shot from 20 plus yards,which was heading off target, fell to the alert Reeves who scored from close range.
