A double raid on P’boro for Maddison & Toney. They are different players. Maddison more of a 10 and spend some time on the wings. He is 3 years older than Josh as well. This wouldn’t make sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 25, 2020 Report Share Posted January 25, 2020 I'd rather get 8-9 for Brownhill and sign Toney than do a 3 million and Wells exchange deal. As long as the Toney price isn't ridiculous of course. No way will it be the figures they're asking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The hand of RO'D Posted January 25, 2020 Report Share Posted January 25, 2020 We won't lose Josh this window. However you will more than likely see him in a Burnley shirt for the start of the 20/21 season provided things go well with the Wells signing.

I actually think Szmodics may become really good at this level. But it may make sense to use him in the deal if it means getting Toney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We signed him on a free but there will have been some settlement because of his age, offered contract etc. Maybe @pnefcok or @Mortis could shed some light. @Coppello also- is it possible for a player who has left on a tribunal/free or however it was, as he was a free but we surely had to settle in 2016 as he was under 24, to have a sell on clause? Our local paper saying there's a sell-on. https://www.lep.co.uk/sport/football/preston-north-end/pne-news/former-preston-north-end-midfielder-could-land-the-lilywhites-a-cash-boost-1-10222829 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks incredibly strong and deceptively quick. Add to that, my friend watched Cardiff Huddersfield back in the autumn and said he was the best player on the pitch. Opinions eh! Chalobah is really a centre back. Maybe we can get him on loan next season. Could have him and Moore playing either side of Kalas in a back 3.

No way we can be sure Toney will hit the net at this level..let alone spearhead a possible promotion push. No brainer ... If financially feasible, that would be the sensible move. Use the summer for signings like Toney who'd probably need bedding in, use January to sign appropriate players for your league situation. If you're gunning for the top 6, that's established players at the level who can hit the ground running and add to the first 11. Same way that if you're in danger of the bottom 6, that's often seasoned pros with a bit of steel, experience and discipline. Wells is exactly the signing we haven't made every time we've needed to under Johnson in January - either in the top 6 or just outside. Instead we've taken risks or signed no-one. I hope we can work out the finances for this, because Wells is obviously the most sensible option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's that, I think it's a straight up Wells for Brownhill swap. Not sure I'd do that, although it is tempting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we have much to work with financially this window, I only have a small understanding thanks to @Davefevs and @Mr Popodopolous posts on FFP, but it seems we have to be a bit creative to get deals over the line. I think Wells would be one of (if not our highest) earner so we'd need to balance things out a bit. Brownhill, especially being captain, probably earns a decent amount. I wouldn't be surprised if Bailey Wright was on decent money too. I think it might take Brownhill and Wright's wages to afford someone like Wells.

He's still young so feasibly can be told 'stay with us in the PL for a season, and even bigger clubs might be interested'.
