With current squad I'd go for a 4-1-3-2 -

Lee
Talbot, Raglan, Evatt, Jones
Hird
Darikwa, Morsy, Clucas
Evans-Blake & Gnanduillet (or Harrison, Symons, Beesley)

Sub - Chapman, Banks, Gardner, McGuire, Harrison, Symons, Beesley

Obviously any new signings should add to / improve this.

I take it you've forgotten about O'Shea & Ariyibi?

Personally I don't like the look of two simular players in Hird and Morsy, for me one or the other as we don't need one protecting the defence and a defencive midfielder the only central player further forwards. For me Morsy isn't creative and I don't think that side of his game will ever come nautrally, so we need some in there who's going to hurt teams.

Seeing as it looks like it's going to be a bog standard 4-4-2 I think the best line up we've got a present is...

Lee

Tendayi Hird Evo/Rags Talbot

O'Shea Morsy Banks Ariyibi

Clucas E.Blake

Or Armand up to instead of Clucas and Sammy instead of Gboly.

Or for total pace out wide Jones at left back, Tally on the right wing and maybe O'Shea for Banks, though would I prefer somebody stronger in the middle.

Too early for lineups really as I've no doubt player(s) will be leaving and others coming in.

He's a mate of mine.. Mainly posts rumours just to stir the gossip up on Twitter and get people talking. Why on earth he's on there at the moment I'll never know, he's in Ibiza!

Needs to be more than one club interested so we can really push the negotiations but if its just Preston that are wanting him we are a bit stuck really.

That said according to Biggs....
Alan Biggs
Happy to report no follow up interest as we speak on either Clucas or Darikwa at Chesterfield. Both in training for the new season. 1/2

Alan Biggs
2/2 Saunders on look out but I know from Chris Turner he's "very impressed" with squad. Only 1 down really. Roberts, Ryan out; E-B in. #cfc

So do you believe the well known reporter with a decent track record or SpireTweet off the back of a random Preston fan who's seen the 8 pages of stuff on their forum?

He said Doyle was going to Sheff Utd, Cook was staying and that Ryan was gong to Sheff Utd.....,,decent track record of making things up

Did he buy the account from Spire12345?

Or, maybe he set up a similarly named one to Spire12345, as he definitely had one similar early on.

No he's had it himself, from the start. He's a decent bloke, tends to get a bit giddy from time to time but enjoys throwing gossip out just to see who jumps on the bandwagon! The most of his "info" comes from his pal, who does some personal fitness training with a few of the squad.

Sad vendetta?
Tell that to the haters of Nnando perhaps (who is actually a player for the club), not someone who has destabilised it like Biggs.
You're right through it's just rumours on a social media site- I can't see real journalists being overly concerned

Why? I'm perfectly happy knowing I'm a better striker than him.

[lindo-spireite]

Too many signings, teams going to need a lot of bonding time this summer

No, not really!

Just wanted somebody else to effectively point out our squad remains strong despite the loss of Ryan & Roberts.

By the way we also have Onivwigun and Deserouvre or however you spell 'em too.

[starsky72]

It's just that certain spark, that something special that Roberts was able to produce, thats what we're lacking.

[Paragon of Virtue]

Wouldn't mind if we lined up something like this.

Lee
Talbot/Darikwa Raglan Evatt Jones
Banks Hird Morsy
O'Shea SEB Clucas

Maybe lacking a bit of pace, but Clucas or O'Shea arriving on the back post and Banks as a late runner gives us options in the box.

3 midfielders one of which is peanut heart banks..ffs

[SpireiteStan]

I don't like the idea of Hird in centre mid on a regular basis. He's a decent backup but I'd chose banks over him for that position any day.

I suppose we could put Humphreys in there instead, after all we are blessed with a load of centre mids.
