Garner Bid Made

January 30, 2008

Having given up on Taylor Twellman, North End have turned their attention to Carlisle striker Joe Garner. The former Blackburn youngster has already been subject of a bid from high flying Bristol City but his club rejected the offer.

PNE have since made an offer of £750,000 plus Brett Ormerod and with only 24 hours left [...]

Gregorz Szamotulski

January 28, 2008

North End have made an approach for Dundee United goal keeper Gregorz Szamotulski, if we sign him the first to have his name on the back of their shirt wins a prize!
 He has been capped 13 times for Poland and joined Dundee from Sturm Graz in Austria.

 Rangers are also believed to be interested in securing his [...]

Is Elvis the answer?

January 20, 2008

Well not Elvis actually, make that Stephen. Stephen Pressley. The verteran centre half from Celtic is believed to be the target centre back Alan Irvine is desperate to land.

 The former Hearts captain would be seen as the ideal experienced head to offer leadership at the back but it is yet to be seen whether Preston [...]

A Good Week

January 17, 2008

We beat Watford, no honestly, we beat them. Even with the two new boys in the starting eleven still nobody gave us a chance. We had a centre back by nature at right back and Callum Davidson playing at left back for the first time in months, but we did it!
I would just like to take a [...]

Twellman Offer Improved

January 11, 2008

Preston’s attack on the transfer market this month is on course to be the biggest in their entire history. On the back of agreeing deals for Chaplow and Brown that could cost the club £1,700,000 - they aren’t finished yet.

A new offer of $1,800,000 has been offered to New England Revolution for their impressive hitman, US international [...]

Two More On The Way

January 9, 2008

Earlier in the week I indicated Alan Irvine had requested to the board an approach be made for Aberdeen right back Michael Hart and that has now been done. However Paul Sturrock was keen to bring him further south to Plymouth Argyle.
Hart knocked them back on the basis it was far too great a distance [...]

Chaplow – More than just rumour

January 9, 2008

Former Burnley midfielder Richard Chaplow is soon to become a Lillywhite. The West Brom youngster has agreed terms after his club accepted a bid in the region of £800,000-£1,000,000.
 

With Darren Carter and Kevin Nicholls so far flattering to decieve, North End will be hoping Chaplow can slot straight into the side with relative ease if [...]

£200,000 bid made for Clarke

January 8, 2008

Alan Irvine made it clear at the AGM in December he wanted cover at centre half and I can now confirm that we have indeed tabled an offer of £200,000 for Nathan Clarke of Huddersfield.

The 24 year old defender is 6ft 2″ and was close to a move to Premiership Wigan Athletic in 2005.  He [...]

Goals, Goals, Goals.

January 8, 2008

Having lost three strikers in the space of a week, Alan Irvine is keen to add some firepower to his forward line as soon as possible.
The deal for Chris Brown is as good as done. The Norwich striker will be paraded in front of the cameras within the next 24 hours. At 6ft 3″, Brown [...]

Sheffield Wednesday or Derby County

January 7, 2008

Ok, so it isn’t Man United/Liverpool/Arsenal or Chelsea – but we never ever get one of them. We never really seem to get big draws at all, even in the last few years when we’ve made it to the fifth round we’ve played Middlesborough and Man City, both at home. So todays draw is hardly a surprise.

It could [...]
