This seems so strange. Why would he be going to Preston of all teams given all the plaudits he's been getting? Not ready for the premier league yet, only league 1 clubs with money are Rangers and Celtic and they didnt want him, they priced him out of a early window move with talk of £3m so at the last minute seems they are left accepting the only hard offer they got as those interested like us went elsewhere. And his value has always been £1m so they payed on the dot for him. Seems there was a lot of hype, none I’ve actually seen first hand or in the press, mainly just second hand ‘go get Jim’s’ and armchair scouting from people on this board. Perhaps PNE was the best team of a bunch that went in for him. We’ll get to see if the oaty accolades had anything to them.

Remember not so long ago that Sam Cosgrove was the 'chosen one' - you would need to search very carefully to see where he is now! Not doing down the lad but the jump from SPL to Championship is testing.

Think it was a few fans that follow the Scot game started saying we should go for this lad and that snow balled into the oaty rumour mill making out as if we were linked.

He was linked in the press first I think he'll go on and play Premier League However O'Neill was clear that there was nothing in it At that price it won't be money

I see also that the full back at QPR. Todd Kane, who we were briefly linked with, went on a permanent transfer to Coventry. 2 year deal, undisclosed fee.
