That explains the bitterness towards the club then! Funny how i only hear the one sided dig at the club and they conveniently leave out that bit eh!

Not seen him, he appears to have had a lot of injury problems early in his career which might explain why he dropped into non league. Seems clear of injuries now so well worth keeping an eye on.

LaticsPete Posted December 23, 2018 Author Share Posted December 23, 2018 There has been a scout from Preston at our last two matches. Very nice bloke, clearly knowledgeable about the game. Rates Lang but it’s clear from what he says, or smiles enigmatically about, that it’s Surridge he is watching. Can someone say, definitively, what our loan arrangements are with Bournemouth?

oafcprozac Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 (edited) Bournemouth (and us) have inserted a ‘review clause’ for January. It’s not done and dusted he’s staying. However I think he’s happy here, if he goes into the championship will he play? He’s still a lot to learn never played above league two and he’s injured a lot. He’s been excellent for us but with a bit more poise could have had at least four or five more goals. Hopefully Bournemouth are happy with the arrangement but there’s at lest four or five other clubs sniffing round. Given Lang/Lyden are only here initially until January too - then it’s a big few week for Frank.

Can someone say, definitively, what our loan arrangements are with Bournemouth? I’ve scouted for Preston the last two years till the end of 17-18 season so spoke with a few people. They believe a deal can be done to sign him permanent. Break in loan deal which says can be recalled in Jan. Bournemouth offered him a new deal on back of Preston interest. Personally dont think going from L2 to Champ is good for young development. If anything send him for 6 months in L1. Hope he he stays though.

Midsblue Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Happy Christmas all. Before I log off for festivities, do you think in just over 7 days time Uncle Abdallah will find a few quid to strengthen the team? Looks increasingly likely Surridge will be gone so a new striker needed unless we unleash Duffus. Winger too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_mighty_bosh Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 I can understand Surridge wanting to play at a higher level ASAP, but he's in a team that's built around getting the best out of him. Surely he can fill his boots here this season and go higher next? If Lang stays it won't actually be a massive loss. Not that Surridge isn't excellent at this level but it will allow us to play Lang in his strongest position and give us the chance to bring in a natural right-sided player.

It will be a massive Loss is Surridge goes we need more than 1 person who we can rely on for goals Surridge is our main source of goals and Lang plays a good supporting role in this respect. After that Im not sure their is anyone who I would trust 100% to get double figure goals. In 06/07 we had porter but we also had Liddell and Warne who got double figures and we scraped 6th in 02/03 we had the 2nd or 3rd best defense in the league and we still needed 3 players to get double figures in Eyres Winhjard and Andrews who all chipped in at different times in the season to get us into the play offs. If Surridge goes then a striker comes the number 1 priority aswell as securing Lang. Edited December 24, 2018 by GlossopLatic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
