Broomes in talks with Preston

Last updated : 05 August 2002 By Tony Scholes

We all thought Preston chasing the same players as us might have come to and end but it looks as though Craig Brown is going to continue the tradition that was started with Gary Peters and escalated with David Moyes.

It isn’t the case though and after an initial show of interest last week it became clear on Saturday that Broomes could well be heading for Deepdale especially with Gregan set to move to West Brom.

This doesn’t mean that we won’t be signing Broomes but with Preston being in a much better state than Burnley are financially then it is expected that they will be able to offer him a better deal.

It could be that both Marlons could have signed for other clubs before the season gets underway and the Clarets could be set to kick off without a single new player at the club and that is something that hasn’t happened for over twenty years.
