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.

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.

He's always looked good to me when we've played them, I even specifically remarked as such either on here or IRL after the game up there. I think it's a reasonable question though about whether or not he's a material improvement.

Have I missed something about this McCallum transfer? Norwich still have at least 2 games of the season left, and he was involved on the final day against Blues.

Can't see him being at Ryton until at least after the playoffs.

Would be an great addition if true though.

Probably not been to Ryton but id imagine his agent and/or him have spoken to us

Link above. Only first 2 pages really worth looking at and aside from some totally unrealistic players near the top, we're making some of the best moves possible in that market.

Wasn’t he? Genuinely can’t remember tbf, I just get the feeling he started strong and stayed playing at the level until his injury. Could be wrong though.

he was on the bench mostly until we switched to a back 4 and even then for the first back four game (stoke at home) it was Simms on the right.

Looks like Leicester are about to save £300k a week in a month or so!
Like Mowatt from WBA on a free too.

Casting your mind back to the L1 and first championship seasons, how valuable were McFadz and Kelly? Their leadership and organisation alone was worth so much.

Looking around our team right now, who offers that? Sheaf and when he’s not available, you need that. Eccles is experienced beyond his years and its early days for Torp.

Browne gets more goals than both our current CMs and his assists are from open play. It’s something we need and we’re a team who score a lot more than PNE - apart from when we play against them… 😂

We’re switching to 4-3-3 and if you have Rudoni and/or Browne in there, there’ll be driving the ball from deep.

Surprised all the linked players so far are from Championship though, expected us to get players from abroad again.

To be honest, even if we made the switch to a ‘flatter’ 433 I’d still want an AM in the squad to change the dynamic of our play when required. Whether that’s Palmer, Rudoni or someone else is the interesting bit.

Fair point and guess I've been quite blind to the experience and know-how he has.

Same happened last season. Dasilva & Lati were first to be linked & signed - free transfers are easier to get done and are done early in the window.

Don't worry, we'll still be learning about a signing through a translated tweet from a Portuguese journalist. After the links in January to the Argentine winger, I'm holding out hopes for a South American wonderkid as well.

Good point, McCallum and Browne would make strong free agent signings. As for Dolan and Rudoni, I’d like to know potential fees involved for them and are they our ‘top targets’.

Exciting times!

Let's have both, we need a bigger squad, especially with all the injuries we get every season. 🤕
