@Wolvesfan1980 only just seen this re Browne and Pearson.
Pearson will be a Premier league player next season with or without Preston. Clubs have been interested for a while but his discipline ruled out any moves. This season he has changed that hugely and there is no doubt in my mind he will be off should PNE not go up.
Browne is a trickier one, talented player and PNE bought out his sell on clause as noted, he also took on an agent for the first time in his career a couple of months back which many believe to be a sign he’s looking to move on. Known admirers in PL but I’d be surprised to see him in any team above 15th in PL.
For clarity I hold Pearson and have done since he was 26p. No intention to sell as I believe he will get to 70/80p with a Prem move.
On Preston players. When FI IPO their CB Ben Davies he’s another I will expect to move within 18m if PNE don’t go up. Left footed ball playing English CB who Wolves wanted in Jan.

Thanks for this, I've been topping up on both with any dividends i've earned in the last month. I definitely could see Pearson at Sheff United/Brighton type of club if Preston don't make it. It'll be interesting to see if Browne starts for Ireland in the play-offs at the end of the month as it might trigger a bit of a rise.

Thats good to know about Davies he's one on my shortlist of players to be IPO'd

I couldn't argue with any of the shouts above.

Keep your eye on Pedro Neto long-term though, he's a very special player who continues to get better and better.

Boly or Doherty still offer great value.

Not sure what Nuno will do today, I would guess he will start with a strong side - i'd like to see Podence given a start which would mean Jota/Traore dropping out, unless he sticks with the 5-3-2 which Espanyol struggled against in the 2nd half (and started the game vs Norwich) which would be Raul/Jota starting with Traore on the bench.

We've been very good away in europe this season winning every game (apart from 3-3 in Braga).

Been doing some research on the other teams in the Championship and i think that Alan Browne (31p) and Ben Pearson (44p) currently offer very good value. Especially if Preston fail to make the play-offs/promotion this season it looks like they may well need to sell.

I’ve been doing some digging on the Preston forums and it looks like Pearson is their most valuable player who dictates play in the middle – just has a slight discipline problem. I could see him being the type of player Sheffield United (or a promoted team) look at.

Alan Browne is a goal scoring midfielder, full Irish international and was player of the season at Preston last year.

Seems to be doing ok this season with 4 goals and 3 assists.

@Wolvesfan1980 I remember when he tore Liverpool apart in the cup when he was at Wolves. He's definitely got something. As the season has worn on for Leeds he's really starting to shine.

Promotion and a good pre-season at Leeds plus a good start to the premier league with his age he could hit £1.50+ he's very much a confidence player.

Hows Barry Douglas getting on? is he still injured?

@Dalien-Smith
Since Costa got a serious ankle injury 2 years ago he was never the same player, it's a shame as in his first season at Wolves he tore apart the Championship and was one of the best players I had seen in a Wolves shirt.

He's not badly priced at 59p and would definitely rise with Leeds promotion

Jota has a superb end to last season, he struggled in the early part of the season due to a few small injuries just when he was beginning to put some form together.

He was superb again today and was denied a hat-trick by the post, we switched to 5-3-2 against Norwich today (as we did in the second half v Espanyol) and Jota is so much more dangerous running through the centre linking off Raul.

I think he's in his purple patch now and with the fixtures we have ahead I wouldn't be surprised to see him bag a few more goals over the next few weeks and hopefully play his way into the starting XI for Portugal.

@Johar great news, thanks for that - I shall be adding a few more then :)

Man Utd are linked to one of our players every other week, I couldn't see it happening for 2 reasons it (1) it would take big big money for Fosun to accept a bid for one of our first team players and (2) i'm not sure of the appeal for a player to leave a great coaching set up to go and play under Ole? When Man Utd actually get rid of Ole and bring in a better manager I may start slightly worrying but i cannot see Jota going anywhere while Nuno is here.

Irvin Cardona - Brest - 22yrd old, Forward - 6 goals in 18 starts and 3 assists. Currently 79p
