If he was staying hed have signed a new contract ages ago.

Thanks DJ and I think the majority of us will wish you well on the next part of your football journey.

I’m not sure that’s right and nobody seems to know what budget is available for next year and hence how much we’d be prepared to pay him. (Assuming he’s wanted) Presumably this will be sorted over the next week or two if it’s not already been done. You’re probably right though in terms of another club offering more than us now.

There was a point where we had a number of young players with potential. In a position to either build or cash in and improve the squad.
Sadly, most went for nowhere near their value or what the club had invested in them.
That opportunity has now gone and we're in a much poorer position.
I'm not sure we've used him in his best position anywhere near enough.
And the rest of the out of contract players. I cant remember who the are though.
He wont be replaced that I'm convinced of.

Abysmal from the club that they haven’t even announced what is happening with DJ if he is to leave which I believe he is he deserves a positive send off from the supporters.

Maybe it hasn’t been confirmed yet?

I can’t help that think that the fact we’ve hung onto him for so long suggests he’s not necessarily in demand as much as many think he is.

I kind of agree. When DJs on it hes a tremendous player but more and more often, over the past couple of seasons hes not been at the top of his game.
 
I really dont want DJ to leave and sign elsewhere, the club signed new deals with Ledson and Lindsay, (the ledson deal being very baffling as he is shocking) many months ago, so whether DJ wants to wait until the end of the season to sort out his contract or has something else lined up is hard to know.

ideally you would want someone of say Zian Flemming's quality in that area of the pitch but if we let DJ go we have no one else for that attacking role as Woodburn will more than likely be gone this summer, we definitely need someone else who is younger than DJ playing regularly but imo letting DJ go would be stupid.
 
Defo will miss DJ, he's been brilliant for pne , for 50k , what more could we have wanted. We will massively miss him. Hopefully , he's here for a fee more years yet but I have a bad feeling.

Could be in contract talks ?🤯
If I was him I'd be looking for 1 last big payday/move for my families financial sake. 🤑

Although I don’t begrudge anyone getting the best deal possible for themselves (we all would), a million pounds per year should be enough for anyone.

I would be looking to win or achieve something in my last few years at a reasonable level, so if that’s what he’s thinking it’s goodbye to Daniel!
 
I think DJs reaction at the end of today's match might give us some indication of whether he will be here or not for next season.
 
Not sure he always wants to be reminded he only cost 50k(?) - but he is irreplaceable at Preston’s seemingly low transfer budget - so best the club stepped up and offered him a contract to stay
 
It seems the only time we manage more than a single goal is when DJ is on it and given license to attack.
