?Hahahahaha! He was 15 at the time.

But it’s Preston though, like come on it’s not exactly exciting or a player full of potential, genuinely think we can do better than this. I really don’t want to see us sign a load of players around 30 years old, like maybe one is fine but I’m not sure why everyone gets so excited by these types of players. I don’t mind it but it’s really not tickling my balls tbh.Preston's player of the season this year, 41 appearances, 4 goals and 4 assists.
You wanted a ‘good player’ and he is one.But it’s Preston though, like come on it’s not exactly exciting or a player full of potential, genuinely think we can do better than this.

People saying Burrows can't defend, he's 22. People saying Maasten couldn't defend at Charlton when he was just out of school. Not a good comparison. Compare them at their same current ages perhaps?
Browne to be first summer announcement apparently.Preston's player of the season this year, 41 appearances, 4 goals and 4 assists.
Maybe we should sign BrekaloBut it’s Preston though, like come on it’s not exactly exciting or a player full of potential, genuinely think we can do better than this.

Plus with Fadz, Kelly and Godden going we have to replace the experience in the squadYou wanted a ‘good player’ and he is one.
Oh don’t get me started on Brekalo, things dreams are made ofMaybe we should sign Brekalo
Nearly 400 games at this level. Yea definitely steer clear....But it’s Preston though, like come on it’s not exactly exciting or a player full of potential, genuinely think we can do better than this.

He’s not exactly a has been at 29 and he’s got a wealth of experience in this league. Do you really want to go into the new season without replacing the experience of Kelly, Fadz etc?But it’s Preston though, like come on it’s not exactly exciting or a player full of potential, genuinely think we can do better than this.

He’s okay, I don’t think he’s a downgrade in anyway but wouldn’t say he’s someone I’ve hoped we’d get in. I don’t know I just want someone with a bit flair and excitement. Maybe the name puts me off as well “Alan Browne” just sounds very Sunday league, down the pub etc (no offence to any Alan Brown’s out there)You wanted a ‘good player’ and he is one.
Hopefully not another Abu OgogoPlus with Fadz, Kelly and Godden going we have to replace the experience in the squad
Yeah fair point, we do need experience, not against that at all, just hoping we’re looking at a full range of options before plundering the exciting treasure trove that is PrestonHe’s not exactly a has been at 29 and he’s got a wealth of experience in this league.

Only ‘Enzo’ gets to have his name in inverted commas.What team is “Browne” at now?
I get your point but it’s all experience at Preston, I’m not having a go at anyone but like surely we can avoid pinching players from Preston? Please God surely?Nearly 400 games at this level. Yea definitely steer clear....
Fernandez?Only ‘Enzo’ gets to have his name in inverted commas.
They finished just below us. He scored more than most of our midfielders too. They play the same teams that we do. Really don't see your point at allI get your point but it’s all experience at Preston, I’m not having a go at anyone but like surely we can avoid pinching players from Preston? Please God surely?
Maresca.Fernandez?
Hopefully another Matty JamesHopefully not another Abu Ogogo
Fair enough, I’m not really too arsed tbh, if the recruitment think he’s the right bloke then fair enough, he might be amazing.They finished just below us. He scored more than most of our midfielders too. They play the same teams that we do. Really don't see your point at all
I'm sure our recruitment team hadn't thought of that. Thanks for letting them knowFair enough, I’m not really too arsed tbh, if the recruitment think he’s the right bloke then fair enough, he might be amazing.
I’m more just thinking that we should be casting our net a bit wider than the championship and league 1. Loads of people rave about those sort of players but I look at Sakamoto, Haji and Van Ewijk and think how good they’ve been for us and yet no one had really heard of them until we signed them.
Not saying we should never sign a championship or league 1 player but I think there’s a lot of bias towards people wanting championship or league 1 players because we’ve heard of them. There’s surely got to be more options out there in Europe and probably for a better price if they’re going unnoticed?
If you mean Al-Hamadi only if Ipswich want to upgrade to PL playersWonder if that kid from Wimbledon is still available?
I don’t know what you’re on about there tbh, I’m just stating an opinion about how our non-European signings this season have been relatively poor. I’m not having a go at you or anyone in particular, I just don’t know why everyone gets carried away with other league 1 or championship players.I'm sure our recruitment team hadn't thought of that.

Oh come on he scored one flukey goal for a team that no one was seriously bothered about. I’m not saying no one had ever heard of him but it’s not like he was being talked about on here as a dream signing months before the window closed. He was a decent spot by our recruitment in my opinion and the point stands that shopping around a bit and not just knocking the door of League 1 teams proved to be more successful this season.Yep, absolutely no one had heard of Haji. Apart from him scoring in the World Cup finals, obviously

I've got a mate at work who's a massive Preston fan and he thinks Brown is on 15k a week. He says no player there is on over 20k.Brown would be perfect, bit of grit and nasty streak. As said before wages issue would think, he's on circa 25-30k I believe at Preston.
Rudoni just not seen enough, he did ok when we beat them 3.1, end product lacking and not quite sure how quick. But they were awful as collective so hard to judge. Would trust MR and AV judgement however.
Both been mentioned for a few weeks now as had Dolan from blackburn. Tyrese Campbell released yesterday also, there's a player there.
