Huddersfield will try to resurrect a loan deal for Leicester City striker Jermaine Beckford after the emergency loan window opens today, the Mercury understands.

Sources in Yorkshire say the Terriers have not given up on signing Beckford, even though the deal collapsed just two minutes before the transfer window shut last Friday.

Beckford had even arrived in Huddersfield on Friday night to conclude the deal.

Terriers boss Simon Grayson will try again to get Beckford, who played under him at Leeds.

Huddersfield see it as a priority to recruit a striker following the £8million sale of Jordan Rhodes to Blackburn.

If the Beckford deal can't be done quickly, they will switch their attentions to alternative targets.

Meanwhile, Ben Marshall made his debut for England under-21s yesterday after coming on as a second-half substitute in Stuart Pearce's side's 2-0 victory in Azerbaijan.

The City winger replaced Wilfried Zaha in the 61st minute. City team-mate Martyn Waghorn was an unused substitute.

There were mixed fortunes for City striker Marko Futacs as he scored and then missed a penalty for Hungary under-21s against the Republic of Ireland. Hungary ran out 2-1 winners.

    “Yorkiefox - a good shout for doing a bit of Scouting, I just wondered if we had approached him or other clubs had, and got a short shrift that's all, and that's why no one got him on loan.

    Like you say - irrelevant now.

    Dorset - it's great for doing the Garden, but there is only so much gardening you can do - especially with the summer we've had. Been applying for Jobs for ages, but the problem with a second career is that you have already achieved and can't afford to start at the bottom. I appled to a well known IT firm and was told I'd be bored, my question was - does it pay reasonable money, they said yes, and my reply was - then I won't be bored. I am bored now, and my pension money was never intended to keep me afloat -but thanks to the redundancies it's made things a bit of a slog, just getting an interview. Multi Skilled with loads of experience doesn't always work in your favour. They want cheap trainees. But other than that - yes it's ok, missing it a bit, but it was the right tme to go. Sorry for the life story.”

    “Yorkiefox,

    Cheers for that. I am certainly not suggesting that we should all agree with each other all the time, that would make the whole site a bit pointless. I like to hear all oppinions on things Leicester City, and enjoy the banter. But some of the jokers you get on here make you wonder why they bother following our Club, when really only a Club like Barcelona could ever live up to their expectations. We all want LCFC to have as much success as is possible. I think that from what i have seen so far we could have a good season. I have been impressed with the attitude of the players and the attacking football we are playing is a very positive step. With a little bit of tweaking here and there, maybe just maybe we can get up this season.

    “Heard a rumour about Kenwyn Jones- that will be good

    Bruno- great for reviving memories - not convinced it will work
    How old was Cottee when he joined us- that was a good signing”

    “York
    I thought of you as soon as Sterlings inclusion in the England squad- you should work as a scout.

    The site is now much better due to the absense of repetitive and nonsense posts in the last few weeks- long may it continue.

    York- you have a new name- cannot believe that you who only posts sensibly was forced to do that?

    Chappy how is life outside the services?- good I hope”

    “Chappy

    Now we have Knockaert we do not need him on loan so what was right for us last year is not what I am calling for this year.

    Daveyboy,

    your opinion is as important on here as is everyone else's. Some will agree others will argue. Some will be sensible some will be less so. Some will be malicious.

    Nobody should feel hounded off here except the malicious.

    Keep posting”

    “Yorkie fox,

    Bang on mate. I remember those very posts. I do wish that the Management at City had had the same forsight as you at the time.
    I used to post on here myself a lot, but sad to say, that if you show too much support to
    Leicester City,on here, that all you get is mindless abuse from some peaple who claim to be big fans, but ****g off anybody with a positive attitude to our great club. Sad, Very sad!

    A big hello to all who keep the faith, and keep supporting through thick and thin. The Real Fans.

    “I have been calling for both Sven and NP to try for Raheem Sterling on loan from Liverpool for over 12 months now, especially when Schlupp was injured so early in the season last year, and up to the point when we permanently signed Knockaert.

    Pity neither listened as Sterling is a late call-up to the England squad at the age of 17. He could have been a valuable addition at low cost to the LCFC squad last year when so many big names failed to perform.

    Full marks to Roy Hodgson for recognising talent when he sees it, however young the player might be.”

    “Good blog and summed things up well.
    I think we all wanted to see Beckford fulfil the potential, but it has never really happened.
    I wish the lad well.”
