Confirmed Will Keane Signs - 2 Year deal.

[Bodney Rewes]

We’re going to have one of the oldest squads in the league.

This is a key point that I think is being overlooked. Most of our first team are in their late 20s/early 30s. We only have 3 players who are likely to play who are under 25 and one of them is Woodburn. We need more younger players in who we can develop and sell on

Top end of the age range, but looks for enough!

Well done Peter.....clown!

8 years ago. Is it just Preston fans who are thick? Or just our town, county, in general?

Not sure why my observation is deemed thick , I welcomed Wil back to the club and simply stated a goal stat from his last time at the club and to be honest he’s not been a goal machine in the 8 years that have passed - but obviously hope he scores loads on his return

I think if he hadn't played for us a long time ago then most people would be happy to pick up a guy who scored 12 last season for less than £200k.

Players can improve, he's much more physical these days which was his main drawback 8 years ago.

I saw a post from a Wigan fan which referenced how few goals Will Keane scored under Shaun Maloney so I thought I'd have a look at his goal scoring rate under each manager last season.

7 in 20 under Leam Richardson
3 in 9 under Kolo Touré
2 in 16 under Shaun Maloney

No idea how he'll do under Lowe but hopefully it's more like his rate under Leam Richardson/Kolo Touré than under Shaun Maloney.

I don't think they scored many goals in general under Maloney but they were tighter at the back.

Just looked, 10 goals in their last 16.

 

[Wisemen say]

Pickford probably gave the best goalkeeping performance I have ever seen in that game.

The save he made when he somehow deflected the ball up and onto the bar from near point blank range was world class.
Probably one of the finest saves I have seen from a North End Goal keeper.👍😀

Clean slate for me even though it's pretty underwhelming signing.

For the fee quoted probably just about worth it.

 

[Tarkovsky]

Scored more than any of our lot so, say what you will.

 

[SoccerHQ]

Really good finish but I thought his hold up play was sharp aswell.

On first impressions he can certainly do the job Ched was doing for a few months last season and chip in with more goals.

Just get a CF and have him dropping into midfield and with Mads looking decent at times that's a reasonable attack at this level at least to build upon.

 

[Preston Lad]

Fantastic finish from Will.

Great close control before turning tucking it in the corner.

 

[OOOO3]

Looked good leading the line today and good finish. Would be a good strikeforce with someone with pace alongside him

Keane, Stewart, Ched and Cannon would be a decent strike force especially with Riis to come back in October time……..

 

[Randall Flagg]

Played really well. Still needs a strike partner with some pace. His link up play looks great.

 

[OB1]

Should solve our scoring issues with that composure. Will turn what were dominant games with no goals into 1 or 2-0 wins every so often

 

[Tommmm12345]

Just seen the goal good turn by Keane pleased to see he get his 1st one of the season for us many more to come.

 

[NG White]

Just seen his goal, good turn and finish. Great start for him.

He has a lot more to his game than just goals though and I feel he'd be a very good partner in a front two for someone with pace, like Cannon, Stewart or Riis.

 

[JJ_PNE]

Unlucky not to get the penalty aswell

 

[Flaxby White]

Good performance today. Worked very hard for the team. Deserved his goal.
