I also noticed a story about another Dean (Dean Hammond) who is in the middle of a legal dispute. Good player, but currently in no mans land!
The story goes that Leicester loaned him to Sheffield United last year, and a condition was that if Hammond played a certain amount of games, then he would be offered a contract for 16/17. The player met the target, but Sheffield United had a change of manager and the new manager does not want the player!
Quite a few angry Blades fans at the moment who can believe the initial loan deal was structured in such a way.
