I just think if it’s true we’re after another CM it will be more in the Stamenic/Kyprianou mould than Browne
Even if that is true why did we try to sign Stamenic as well then? Clearly we are trying to sign another central midfielder, regardless of which perceived position he playsHis best position is an attacking 8/10 according to PNE fans. Wouldn’t suit being one of the deeper 2 midfielders in a 4231.
They will have a long wait thenStill think Browne is going Sheff United. Same as Burrows and Campbell.
I still think we will get another CM but it won’t be BrowneEven if that is true why did we try to sign Stamenic as well then? Clearly we are trying to sign another central midfielder, regardless of which perceived position he plays
I’ve been quite critical of Tavares but actually his last few performances were pretty good. They seemed to be mostly from the wing though, not sure id be happy if he was our only backup option.We missed Stamenic but it showed we’re after a player in that position and are probably targeting something around the £5m mark. I think that player will still arrive but in a different guise. We’ll almost certainly add a keeper. We’re looking at RB cover. The intriguing one - where we’ve heard nothing is CF. Godden must be off. Wonder if Tavares has done enough to be considered his replacement.
How do you propose getting experience if you won't sign anyone not even 30 yet?Why is it Browne or no one for most people on here?
If we very nearly signed Stamenic (who ended up at a prem team) then we can attract someone better than Browne. Yes we want some experience but pushing 30 isn’t what we need, 3 year deal on Browne and he’ll basically be at the end of his career with little resale value. We’ve got to think more long term than that imo.

So you wouldnt sign Harry Kane, Ronaldo, Messi etc because they are, in your opinion, ancient?Buy a 26-27 year old player? Would you say Sheaf’s inexperienced?

This is to replace Kelly though, a 34 year old, who only last year led us out in a play off final. Your argument is basically anyone who reaches 28 is past it and couldnt possibly do a job anymore. Clearly you cant see how poor your argument is so ill just be thankful you are nowhere near the recruitment team.I wouldn’t want the diva-ness of Ronaldo firstly, but it’s dead easy to pick 3 very talented world class players that are older and use that as an argument. We don’t have that sort of cash and it seems to me like the business model that Doug is going for is the “buy cheap, train up, sell on” sort of model. I think there’s just better, younger players out there than Browne, it’s a downgrade on Sheaf and he’d have very little resale value after 3-4 years.
Doesn't suit them because they're in it up to their necks over taking the piss with their spending and need some fees to come in.
Nixon is saying what we can all see with our own eyes.

Why not buy him? At the right price he seems like exactly what we need. We shouldn’t overspend of course but he’s got experience and isn’t that old yet, I think he’d be a great asset.Stick to loan proposal, don’t push any harder.
Nobody is suggesting getting Browne as a Sheaf replacement. We lacked depth of squad and Browne would be taking the place of Kelly and adding an additional experienced championship midfielder to the squadIs it to just replace Kelly though? Maybe that’s what you mean, and if so that’s fine, I agree that Browne is an upgrade on Kelly, but I think others on here want Browne as a Sheaf replacement if we sold him.
In response to you saying “you think anyone over 28 is past it”, not everyone is past it, it’s just that the current level that Browne is at isn’t amazing and he won’t improve any further due to his age.
My overall view is that I don’t particularly want to sell Sheaf but if we did then Browne isn’t the right replacement, if Browne is a back up to Sheaf then that’s probably alright.
I would try to purchase myself. God age, good experience and definitely what we are missing in defence.Stick to loan proposal, don’t push any harder.
You'd try and purchase yourself? What position do you play? Are u a 5 or a fullback? Would you be an upgrade on Dasilva?I would try to purchase myself. God age, good experience and definitely what we are missing in defence.
I now know that you aren’t suggesting he should be a Sheaf replacement but I’m not sure what others think. If he’s there as depth to the squad then that’s fine, although I still think we could do a little better, not that I have any namesNobody is suggesting getting Browne as a Sheaf replacement.

Yes to the last one no to the othersYou'd try and purchase yourself? What position do you play? Are u a 5 or a fullback? Would you be an upgrade on Dasilva?

Loan would suggest the buying price is something we disagree with.
Or Sheffield United have offered some magic beans of a high value which is pushing the price upLoan would suggest the buying price is something we disagree with.

Or that he wants a minimum of a 3 yr contract and Robins thinks we will be be promoted earlier than that and we then have a player we know can’t successfully play at Premier League level on a long term contract that we have to try and move on …..Or Sheffield United have offered some magic beans of a high value which is pushing the price up
That would be the same for most of the squad though. Id rather get there and worry later. I am not against the loan but id happily sign him permanently insteadOr that he wants a minimum of a 3 yr contract and Robins thinks we will be be promoted earlier than that and we then have a player we know can’t successfully play at Premier League level on a long term contract that we have to try and move on …..
I think Ipswich showed with Kieffer Moore that those type of players can make a difference in the championship but are better as loans than perm.
