Exactly this - he’d be the Kelly replacement / upgrade. Gritt and experience.
Be great pick up.
think Allen may stay, as long as he’s happy being 4th choice.
agree on a 10, 433 will make us bit more solid. Our front 3 have goals galore
Exactly this - he’d be the Kelly replacement / upgrade. Gritt and experience.Hes an improvement on Liam Kelly and Jamie Allen, and slightly above Eccles, so definite improvement
Im not sure we would be over stocked …. At times we played Lati in midfield because we lacked options Robins was prepared to play.I'm going to assume that Kyprianou is the potential Sheaf succession plan. You reckon we'd look to bring him in even if Sheaf stays? Might end up a bit over stocked in there if so.

Was just thinking if we play the same formation as this season, we'd have Sheaf, Eccles, Torp, Browne... Kyprianou too would possibly be a bit overkill unless Torp is used further forward. You have to keep them all happy and all would start for many teams in this division.Im not sure we would be over stocked ….

I assume Howley will go out on loan again ….
Playing a 6 and 2 8's makes more sense for next year rather than the current 2 6's and a 10.
We seem to be building a squad that suits that and good 8's are easier to come by than good 10s.
In that case I'm going to assume the option on Kyprianou was always only planned on being taken up if Sheaf moved on.I think another CM depends on what we're going to go with formation wise first
If it is 433 then you would assume another one in. If its 442 then Sheaf, Browne, Torp, Eccles Allen is easily enough
Again though, will Allen leave? Hes on a decent contract for another 2 years, why would he go elsewhere? He is also handy to have across the middle of injuries bite
I personally think if we land Browne, that will be it in CM for now, as long as we keep Sheaf
Sheaf, Browne, Torp, Eccles with Allen to cover is easily good enough for a top 6 midfield
3 years isnt itHow long has Eccles got on his contract?
Makes sense, I'd suggest our current midfield crop might need to develop a bit more of an eye for goal if we go this way. Then again when we play Palmer as a 10 he rarely scores either so may as well be a bit more solid in the middle.Playing a 6 and 2 8's makes more sense for next year rather than the current 2 6's and a 10.

We've already got Haji.Haji and Chippo would unironically be perfect signings.
Couldn’t remember. Maybe another one who could attract interest in a year’s time if he improves at a similar rate to now.3 years isnt it
Not a single Preston fan is pleased he is going. He of course would improve the squadIs he definitely better than Eccles and Torp? I’m not sure. Helps the squad for sure, but I think there’s a decent chance we have another JDS situation on our hands.
If Simms, Haji and Tats carry on their goalscoring record into next season theoretically minus injuries and if they played say 38 full games each will score :Makes sense, I'd suggest our current midfield crop might need to develop a bit more of an eye for goal if we go this way.

Horses for courses probably play a Rudoni for a game we should be winning against a team who might play slightly deeperAgree with this, especially if it is 433 come 442 we will be playing next season
Rudoni if he comes in i fell would be the man who comes in and out depending on changes
We need experienced championship players in our team that need minimal time to settle in. It took the above mentioned players a while before we saw the best of them.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.
Could be RJJ or PokuIf we have CM locked in it makes me wonder who the Peterborough player we have first dibs on is. It could in theory still be a CM and we have changed our minds, but I'm wondering if its someone else.
Well these are the signings we can make at no extra cost. Anyone else requiring a fee is going to have to wait until Gyo or Sheaf departI was told the option on the player was Kyprianou. Would make sense because correct me if im talking shit here but everytime ive watched him he seems very Sheaf-esque. Tidy on the ball, shows for it off defenders, turns and drives, can spread the play, he even glides about the middle like Sheaf
But with Browne looking likely, i cant see us going for Kyprianou
Heard last night he’s got 8 goals this year for poshI was told the option on the player was Kyprianou.

Kyprianou wouldn't be in the XI straight away though. If we did sign someone like Browne he would have plenty of time to get up to speed and the right level before he has to start.I was told the option on the player was Kyprianou.

I’ve said he will improve the squad. Just questioning whether he’s better than Eccles and Torp, and given the alleged wages you’d hope he will be.Not a single Preston fan is pleased he is going. He of course would improve the squad

We have missed in the past signing championships frees, so I don’t think it’s unfair to question it.
Also scanned the Preston forum for 2 minutes and found a few who have said it suits both parties, hinting they need better. That might be bias/bitterness their side, but there you go.

Preston offered him a big contract to stay, its pure cope from the fans if that's what they are saying.I’ve said he will improve the squad. Just questioning whether he’s better than Eccles and Torp, and given the alleged wages you’d hope he will be.

I don’t think we’re signing an AM, two of the CMs we’re linked with (Rudoni & Browne) can play AM but are primarily CMs.Need two number 10s so rudobi wouldn't be enough on his own for that position if Palmer goes too
As for lati I assume he goes only if there is chance to make good money. Can't see robins being desperate to get rid.
I agree we definitely need experience, and yes it did take time for Haji and Simms to get going but if I remember rightly Saka and Van Ewijk were pretty amazing right from the off I think? So it’s probably just pot luck whether you get a player that needs time to adjust or whether you get a player that’s settled from the get-go.We need experienced championship players in our team that need minimal time to settle in. It took the above mentioned players a while before we saw the best of them.
