I wish him luck, he just wasn't getting a chance here.

Thought it was more to do with Miller arriving - but it`s not a bad shout Bernster

Re: Mc Cormack
Good for him and good for us as it gets another set of wages off the books. Derek has publicly stated that we need to get around half a dozen or so players offloaded before we can think of making any more permanent signings. If Stock, Jarrett and McCormack are added to the forced retirement of O'Neil then we are over halfway there. Add in Hibbert and maybe Smith and you can see us being in a position to make the Miller move permanent. Whether there will be any more outgoings of 'fringe' players remains to be seen. We haven't really got any defenders to spare, though Hill might prove vulnerable if his form slips again, and our four strikers - Dichio, Nugent, Ormerod and Agyemang (leaving Mellor aside for the moment) - are all crucial.
But three players who might seem to be relatively peripheral are Lewis Neal, Anyinsah and Davidson (because of his injury problems rather than his ability). Of those I quite like Neal - in some ways he is a better 'winger' than Whaley, he is arguably more capable of getting past a fullback through sheer trickery, though of course he is nowhere near as lethal a goalscorer. Meanwhile Davidson is probably unmarketable because of his injury problems, which leaves Anyinsah. I seem to recall someone saying on this board that Simmo had said Anyinsah was in his plans, but I would have thought there was a case for sending him out on loan.
Otherwise any further outgoings would probably have to be the result of someone making us an offer we couldn't refuse. But that need not just mean some other club offering us several millions for Nugent or Whaley. What, for instance, if Mellor is fully fit in the New Year and we then get offered, say, £300k for Ormerod or £500k for Agyemang? Just a thought.

Re: Mc Cormack
Thats exactly what i thought when i saw it today, He's definately not had a fair crack of the whip here at Deepdale with either simmo or Dwarfy Davies....
But managers know better than us at what level they think he's at, i just hope Pne make sure there is a rather large sell on placed on any future move he might make in the future, because i believe he was the lad Fergie took a good long look at when Moyes was manager.🙂

Re: Mc Cormack
It's a very good point. I remeber last year when we played Coventry at home he was extremely lively. Shades of Eddie Lewis at his best. Think it was New Years Day, actually. I've always been a bit disappointed not to see more of the lad as I think he has decent potential.
But can't complain at the moment!

Re: Mc Cormack
I heard about his transfer request before the Miller signing so I think people are just seeing the coincidence of Miller coming in and assuming that's why Alans requested a transfer but I don't think the Miller signing is the reason....
