Swap Eyres for our Joey and I agree with that.

2 good seasons in my 20s (and a struggle in the Championship) vs 3 good seasons from being 5 (and not being tainted with struggling in the Championship).

Nostalgia wins all day for me.

Plus, I never cried my eyes out when I read that Garner had been let go in the LEP.
 
Think he celebrated a late equaliser.

I had a chat with him before the game, said it was ‘weird’ to be here as an away player and was desperate to come back.
Was quite a controversial loan really, think they paid us £1m+ with the verbal agreement that it would be made permanent but the player then didn't want to sign for them and ended up staying with us.

Boro ended up taking legal action against us through the firm my Dad worked at but I never found out how it was resolved!
 
Two year deal offered by PNE on reduced terms.

If someone else offers a two year deal on the same terms he is on now then I don't think we will see him in Lillywhite again.

Stoke seems like a perfect fit but FFP will play a role in that.

TBH if he can get any kind of 3 year deal at his age then fair play to him.

Thats the reality with any player. We know the budget will be reduced and he was unlikely to be offered similar to what hes on now.

Presumably his agent has been testing the market - it'll be interesting to see how this plays out. Is he in the demand many fans, and his agent, think he might be?

This is it for me, I'm not sure where he could go.

He's too inconsistent to get a massive deal anywhere.

As one of the top earners it will undoubtedly be the same when Browne's contract is up for renewal as well.

Key would be reduced by how much... and how the differential could be made up through incentives. I guess... 20% reduction on the salary, but a built in top 6 bonus to cover this, or something linked to goals and assists could help. Depends on how settled the lad and his family are in the area, and how much he just feels a fresh start somewhere else would benefit him. My instinct tells me that DJ knows that Lowe doesn't really rate him, so his playing time may be limited while Ryan remains manager and this will be just as big a factor as the money. As others have said, he'll probably not be able to command 25k per week elsewhere. His contract renewal would really help the club look like they are on the right path. Fingers crossed - and while they're at it, they need to get AB renewed as well!

Assuming the 19k a week at Deepdale is correct then whilst that is a massive deal for us and understandably wouldn't be matched given his age, it isn't a massive deal for most of the championship.

I hope DJ does decide to stay but I will be very surprised if he does and it would all be a bit of a sad end.

But what I'm really getting at is given his age and relative inconsistency is he really worth more more than 19k pw to anybody else?

If he's offered more I just can't imagine it being a substantial pay bump.

When Mowatt is on a reported 25k a week to be 7th choice at WBA, I think it shows what could be on offer for DJ elsewhere.

Free transfers always get a bumper wage deal as well.

"Preferably we want players who don't get injured and recruitment is a big part in that but there will be a few educated gambles, I imagine, in there.”

The fans want AN out they don’t rate him at all & don’t want him signing players .
Big decision for DJ to make stoke discard players all the time especially when AN is sacked .
