Gone Elsewhere Alan Browne

Irrespective if whether Rifleiis wrong or not, it appears he's set to turn down a new contract from Preston to move to new pastures. Presumably he can get a better offer elsewhere than Preston. He's just won their player of the season so he could be a good signing for someone.

We do seem to like signing Irish players! The connection with Keith Andrews could be a factor if he does sign.

But you said not to expect anything going into next season? We're sailing that close to the wind.

This is therefore a bit contradictory, is it not?

He won't reply now. Much like he didn't in his other ridiculous thread, where he asked me to elaborate; so I quoted a huge list of his previous fabrications.

This guy needs moving to the hilarious rumour mill whenever he posts. He makes young Max look like Richard Cadette.

Now we struggle to beat PNE for wages.

Preston have made on offer that would make him the highest paid player in their history. That salary level is likely about the bottom end of our scale and where we want to be paying.

Whilst we likely could match wages, we're working to an extremely tight budget - meaning we pay Browne more, we have less for someone else - someone else we may prioritise higher.

It's easy to spit dummy out and complain "what we playing at", but give it thought first.
 
If Sheaf at Coventry is out of contract he'd be my choice, and worth pushing the boat out for.
 

He'd be an adequate 3rd man in our midfield, and ensure a comfortable top 6 standard midfield, but unfortunately we just won't be able to match the terms offered by Coventry City and Preston North End

The gulf is getting bigger.

I added to another thread simply stating all the players that were either out of favour at Leicester or who they were likely to offload.

They’d walk into next year’s Championship top two.

Next season I doubt we’ll need extraordinary signings. We’ll need players who are consistently above average currently and available.

Then it will probably boil down to how good your loan signings are compared to the rest.

For example:

Defence - Bogle/MrX/Egan/Robbo/RND

It’s a more than capable defence as long as Mr X is capable. It could be McNair, Kipre, Worrall, Holgate on loan.

Midfield - MrY/Arblaster/Hamer

Again, not being unrealistic, Browne, Mowatt, O’Brien on loan, Leonard. Players capable of being available and not letting you down.

Attack - MrZ/McBurnie + Brewster/Jebbison/Osula/Marsh

Probably be that Mr Z is the differentiator. I think this would have to be a loan as even Gallagher has had his deal extended. You’d be thinking someone like Liam Delap, Jay Stansfield, David Brooks or whoever is next off the City production line.

One or two of those as a number 10 and/or striker, one of the many decent loan keepers like Rushworth, Sinisalo, Cummings etc.

We could achieve the above with minimal fee spend, possibly need a couple more for flexibility but you’d have a competitive XI without going mad.

Just depends how decisive we can be. We won’t end up with many of those if we only do our shopping in August, that’s for sure.

We can indeed put together a very decent side very quickly if we want to. As you say, it won't take a huge spend, it won't even take much imagination - there are a number of obvious targets who you name there. But it will take decisiveness, and moving early - for once

I agree, but I don’t expect much to happen before July unless we make an early sale because we are still paying the wages of those departing until the end of June.

It’s really poor though isn’t it if we have to spend the summer being so ‘hand to mouth’.

Luton no doubt have a Barkley shaped hole to fill soon.

They’ve smartly recruited but it will be interesting how their better effort will have been a platform for their players to move on.
