Matt Mills, didn't Leicester pay £5m for him? Still only 28.

 

[El Sid]

I reckon Beckford's worth a punt if his wages aren't too high.

Totally agree. I have never understood how he hasn't developed into a regular for someone in the division above us.

They did. Surely worth a stab to replace Hughes.

 

[Marshy]

I would be interested in Mills for the right wages.
Only 29 and would be an ideal replacement for Dunk if he goes.

Perch, Mills, Bassong... yes please to all of them... would make a very good back 3 if we went that route...

 

[Postman Pat]

I'd like to sign Mills, but it seems that Doooogie will be snapping him up for Forest.

 

[Superphil]

It's way too early for us to be signing anyone yet. Wait till the end of July and see who's left, that's where our strikeforce will be coming from.

Sad but true.

Corrected for you

If you look at his record he is a league one striker at best.

 

[sydney]

gudjohnesen ....whatever....he'll do.

 

[sir albion]

Well if we fancy another relegation battle then these would be worth a look

 

[BensGrandad]

I would take Beckford obviously, possibly Mills to replace Hughes and and look at Lonnergan as No 2 if Walton is going out on loan. These would all be subject to their wage demands.

 

[8ace]

I would take Beckford

Just SINGED a two year deal with PNE.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Oh Joy. Add Preston to the list of clubs making signings.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Oh Joy. Add Preston to the list of clubs making signings.

We can't be expected to compete with the Might Preston North End

 

[supaseagull]

Beckford has done absolutely nothing of note in the championship and scored on average of 5 goals per season goals across the seasons where he has played more that 8 matches. If people are getting upset about us not signing a journeyman League 1 striker who hit a bit of form last year in a poor league then they really need to get out more.

Not surprising as he was on loan there.
