Yes I live just outside of Preston, I watch them semi regularly in the pub I drink in and half of my mates are season ticket holders. He would be a terrible signing.Have you seen him play much ?

Would be a horrendous signing. Please god no.
I have seen him a lot, check my post above.If there's a god he probably has more on his plate than to get involved in our signings.

See the josh windass thread when he was leaving maybe?How come their fans seem raging about it then?

If we are judging ourselves on Preston then we are in trouble. He is nowhere near good enough. In my opinion of course.I know next to nothing about this guy but your post puzzles me.
If you've watched him so much you have presumably watched the performances that got him POTY at his club last season and have, by some accounts, the PNE fans furious at the thought of him leaving.
So what is it you've seen that would make you think he'd be a "horrendous" signing?
Not a snide dig but a serious question .Yes I live just outside of Preston, I watch them semi regularly in the pub I drink in and half of my mates are season ticket holders. He would be a terrible signing.
Possibly but that isn’t saying much in all honestly. As I have said, joe garner was a semi god with their fans.Not a snide dig but a serious question .
Would any of those season ticket holders have voted for him for POTY?
What an assist at 2:00
Fair enough .Possibly but that isn’t saying much in all honestly. As I have said, joe garner was a semi god with their fans.

No trying to look hard, it just triggers me when people make such lazy statements. If that wasn't what you were implying fair enough but plenty of people do.What makes you think I don’t view this guy as a future Rangers captain like our current captain who warburton signed
........Or will that not suit your hissy fit narrative.
For the avoidance of doubt, I never said anything negative about this player. You’re jumping to conclusions.
Atleast it makes you look hard though. Well played big man
Preston fans rating a player doesn't mean they are good enough for Rangers.
Johnston is a good player at Preston's level. Does he have it in him to make the step up to our level?
Is he better than our current options?
Does he take our team to another level?
Good players can play for average teams. I don’t think he is one.What do you mean?
If you mean he plays for Preston therefore he can't be good i'd point you in the direction of Aribo to take one example.
Again I have no idea if the guy is any good and you've watched him quite a bit. I'm just curious about the strength of your conviction here.
He’s no he’s Finished!If he’s from Preston, how can he be from Jamaica?
Where exactly should one of our transfer targets be at 27 and 3/4 years of age?
Good players can play for average teams. I don’t think he is one.
My point about Preston is that being their player of the year last season wouldn’t make you a good player.
12 goals and 8 assists in 33 games from midfield last season is a good record.
How original, haven’t heard that one before. Who a player plays for at that stage in his career is actually a pretty good indicator of how good a player he is. His stats are decent and no more. I wouldn’t see it as a very ambitious signing, not least because in that position players peak fairly young.Would expect a smarter response with a username like that.
I have - see post 71McGeady was labelled too good for Preston 2 seasons ago.
I'll hold my opinion as i've never seen the boy.
How come their fans seem raging about it then?
Our recruitment may have improved in that space recently but fees and wages are still often higher than equivalent players from outside of England.A lot to really like there.
Guys from that level in English football are a risk. It’s an over rated standard, but sometimes it works well.
He is not Preston's best player. He is not mince but he is not on the same level as Jack/Aribo/Hagi/Davis/Kamara.If it were fans of a team better than Preston then you maybe have a point.
But Preston aren’t exactly a great side so because some of their fans aren’t happy at losing their best player, doesn’t mean he’s automatically a great signing if we make it happen.
I’m sure if we went for Barnsley’s best player their fans would be unhappy too. Means nothing really.
I’m not saying he’s mince as I’ve never seen him play but equally, can’t say he’d be a great signing based on some fans on their forums being unhappy
Thats your opinion mate but if we sign him i'll judge him on merit myself.I have - see post 71
Would be pretty strange if he did play against Preston to be fair
Fans reaction isn't the only barometer of a players ability but it is usually a useful guide when trying to assess the over all picture.
I accept that Preston aren't the best and I also accept that some people have seen far more of them than me .
That said , if we are interested , I will wait until he arrives and plays before judging him .
It blows their Sky distorted reality right out of the water.Who’s going to break it to them we’d want more than double that for Kent.
Championship diddy clubs hate it when we show interest in their player. That’s because the player is always desperate to come and it contradicts their deluded view of both clubs.
At least Preston are guaranteed points tomorrow if this is the case.
We have to have some context here we signed Mendes from a stable mid table epl team over ten years ago for what 3.5 million that same player now costs over ten million we're not shopping in that market anymoreCan’t get excited about this.
was expecting a name that you’d be confident would go straight into the 11 and take 55 by the neck from the middle of the park.
Like Pedro Mendes
Is he the guy ?
In recent times, yes. Previously, mixed.Edited, I'm talking pish and have a memory like a sieve.
However we definitely have got value from England.
£10m short for a penalty taking jobber?Just text my colleague, he's a Preston season ticket holder, says he is very good and our offer is about £10m short.
Just passing it on before the crackpot's start on me.
Not much to be impressed about in that for me, other than his cross for Moult’s header that’s a pretty poor highlight reel imo.
So another Aribo style development?Was based in Preston and saw him a few times. Head and shoulders above his fellow team mates and the opposition. A move to us would excel him from my limited viewing.
You not read the full post?£10m short for a penalty taking jobber?
No chance they’ll get that off anyone though, considering any team that is in for him could get him for free at the end of the season. I think 2 million won’t be too far off for the Preston board tbh.Just text my colleague, he's a Preston season ticket holder, says he is very good and our offer is about £10m short.
