sledge to burnley!!
Gregan? Which premier league club is he at?
So from that list you have Nugent who got a winners medal by riding on the shirt tails of better players and then what? So back to my original point, I can't think of any player you have sold either to a Prem club or a club who subsequently got promoted who has done anything of note. That list proves my point. From that there is only really Fuller who I would have liked us to have signed.
As for Burnley players to play for England? There have been very few to be fair. But if we are looking for meaningless facts (such as the bizarre inclusion of Nugent in the England squad and his pointless stealing of a goal) then who was the last player to have played for PNE to be part of an England (or indeed any nations) winning world cup squad? Pointless, meaningless stats. Clearly the green eyed monster is already taking over.
For the record and back on point, St Ledger is a decent championship defender who may have enough ability to play mid table in the Prem. If we were to pay over 2.5 million for him I would be very disapointed - and in my opinion any team who does pay the sort of figures you guys are talking about are being taken to the cleaners.

My oh dear is at the terrible, tedius argument. Embarrassing.
What a shit reply!
There are hardly any players in the whole of the world who have been part of winning World Cup Squads.
You still have not told us how many former Burnley Players are currently playing in the premier league, in fact you have not named one.
With Regards Gregan, he played in the Premier League for West Brom.
What is embarrassing is that 2 fans from a rival club, who have just won promotion to the Premier League are spending the Tuesday afternoon (during brilliant weather), on a Preston North End Website!
I'm bored at work, stuck in an office enjoying watching people like you thrash about for reasons to live now Burnley are in the premier league. Sad and shallow that may make me but it is still a great deal of fun.
I was commenting on players who are currently in the premier league, it was another poster who listed the others.

My Dad's bigger than yours.
Ah but I have the knowledge that I do not have to set foot in Burnley for at least 12 months.😀

Crikey what melodrama.
But you've got a point, ever since you got promoted I have indeed been striving for a reason to live. Every day has been a torment, racked with self loathing and self doubt.
How, HOW can I go on knowing that the Dingles will be playing Premership football next season.

Evidenced by some posters I guess........
But good luck to you, you've played some decent football and deserve your shot. At least it was a Lancashire club that went up, with so many Lancashire teams in the Premier League now it is a reminder to the rest of the country that Lancashire is the true heartland of football in this country.
Next season there will be another Lancashire team being promoted (and before you say, it wont be Bl*ckpool).
Kilbane hasn't done a bad job too be honest. And I did clearly state that we had former players who have previously played in the Premier League as well just to add a few more to the list e.g. Gregan. St Ledger will be sold for a big price. Especially when a team has already bid 4 million for him, and that's from a side who are no longer in the Premiership, they seem to 'boing' between the leagues 😉.

Just like you've racked up 364 posts on this board. I know banter is banter, but when you've posted more than some PNE fans on their board, its got a bit obsesive.
Erm, thats in nearly 5 years my friend - hardly prolific is it?
I still don't think he is worth anywhere near 4 million - and if the bid is fom the baggies then I'm even more amazed, it was up front where they fell majorly short last season.

St Ledger is easily worth £4 million if not more. He is one of the best in the Championship. With a couple of seasons in the Prem he could be the next John Terry as his style of play is very similar. He's now an international. And there are more than 3 interested parties which also inflates the price.

funny you should say that, a Chelsea mate of mine reckons he reminds him of John Terry in his stle of play.
I personally don't think he is worth 4 million either, but making his debut for Ireland and looking comfortable will have boosted his value. He has a lot of potential and clubs may want to act now while his price isn't that high. I can honestly see us getting a 5 million pound bid this Summer which I don't think we can afford to turn down.
