Can we give Monakana back to PNE as part of the deal ?

Brighton and Hove Albion consider bid for Preston North End striker
- Thread starter jamie the seagull
- Start date
... Worked so well with Baldock and CMS in the past hasn't it. Everyone knows prices for strikers across all divisions is heavily influxuated. Yes, it'll be hard to find another Ulloa type, but looking abroad would much more beneficial.
I was joking
What's influxuated?
You've made 1 post on the forum, and given me a thumbs down because you don't have a sense of humour, and you say the prices are influxuated.
Great work.

We need players under 28, with pace, blood and guts, not injury prone, and who are good with both feet. It doesn’t matter what league they come from as long as they fit this criteria.

What league did Callum Wilson come from
So quick to write off league one players on here. Pick the right ones and it is good business.
But the ones who do well tend to have pace, some presence and finishing ability, Afobe is another in the Willson bracket. Garner is a tidy player and fine finisher but would he be blunted by quick Champ defenders is the big fear

I don't know his pace rating? I didn't notice him being particularly slow in the videos.
If a player has got a footballing brain, composed, two feet, and can read his team mates next move, they are the ones we want. So I hope the players the club will be looking at are specifically targeted for these qualities.
I think if Baldock is fed quickly through the midfield, he will do well next season, and we need a similar player like Garner so they can cover each other for injuries and substitutions.
The biggest issue with all our strikers last season was not their league one pedigree or lack of pace, it is the fact that none of them have ever been able to hold the ball up and bring our full backs and fast midfielders into attacking play. That's why we not only missed Ulloa so badly, but also Ashley Barnes - certainly a limited striker, but with the football intelligence and strength to allow supporting players to flourish.
So yes, Garner can score worldies, but so can Rohan Ince and even CMS. But can Garner hold the ball up for the arriving cavalry? Can he defend from deep when necessary? These are the questions we need to be asking. And that is also the sort of player who will get Baldock scoring, IMO.

Not a good championship record when he was at Forest or at Watford

I watched the Colchester v PNE match last weekend and I liked what Garner gave to Preston. He strong and quick and gets in the faces of defenders. A real in your face type striker who clearly has an eye for goal but also one who can hold the ball up. I'd be pleased if went for him

According to that article he would improve our striking potency. So would both my dead grandmothers.

He was recommended by the Albion scouts who were tracking him but Burke didn't think he was suitable.

If true it means we have learned nothing from last season. We don't need players from league 1.

Let's not forget Glenn Murray. Wasn't he 27 years old playing in league 1?

Glenn Murray. Even Bobby Zamora played for us in League 1.

Bournemouth were hardly promoted full of champions league players. It's more about the right players in the right positions in the right formation, with the right tactics. I pray for some inspiration from the manager and coaches. Not sure of we are going to get it but let's give him a chance next season and start moaning only if necessary.

Is he a dwarf type or a lumpy type?
Baldock + another dwarf would be depressing again
