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)
Hopefully not another Abu Ogogo
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 Preston
Only ‘Enzo’ gets to have his name in inverted commas.
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?
Fernandez?
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.
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.
I'm sure our recruitment team hadn't thought of that. Thanks for letting them know
If you mean Al-Hamadi only if Ipswich want to upgrade to PL players
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.
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.
He would improve it. The bench alone would go from kai Andrews to a 400 game championship player if he ended up there
Only need 10s if we play that way I think we are going more 4-3-3
Is 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.
I would hazard a guess that if we get him in we’ll listen to offers for Sheaf but try and keep him otherwise
Yeah fair. Though from the sounds he’ll be commanding a lot more £ than those two.
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.
If its a flatter 3 then yeh sure, I assumed a 3 like this season but good to have options isn't it. Either way I'm sure Eccles will learn a lot from an experienced campaigner like Browne.
