Jubbs Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Preston have just signed former striker Emil Riis Jakobsen, scored a few in the academy, never made it to the first team. For saying Alex Neil was moaning about us spending a lot of money, he's just spent £1.5m on a Derby reject. Carnero 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does someone want to break the news to Neil that he’s helped to fund our signings thanks to the (possible) sell-on fee? ? angieram and DarkFruitsRam7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He always looked quite cumbersome in what was a relatively poor academy class. I remember him getting a loan move to the Eredivisie and barely playing a minute. It'll be interesting to see how he gets on in the Championship. I'm assuming he must've improved considerably in order to get this move, especially considering they've spent over a million on hm. It's not too dissimilar to what we're looking to pay for Dursun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was surprised we let him go as he seemed one of the consistent strong performers, always bagging goals in a team that wasn't as strong as we have now. If I recall he was quite critical of his lack of opportunities when he was released, but I may be doing him a disservice because I can't find a link. It might have been that he was shipped out to VVV-Venlo in January 2018 and didn't really have any contact with the club from then on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only watched the odd game, so wouldn't want to overly criticise him but he never seemed to do much in the games I saw. Zanzala and Vernam were much more visible, all three had similar records for the U23s - albeit Zanzala slightly ahead: Zanzala - 12 goals in 32 games Jakobson - 7 goals in 30 games Vernam - 13 goals in 51 games I seem to recall him losing the ball quite a lot when I saw him, just someone I never thought would make it.

Ambitious Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Seems to be coming good. I can't wait for Timi Elsnik to come out the woodwork in a few years time and do the same. angieram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Sagan Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Two more for Emil at the weekend, on the back of a new contract from Preston. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/59018936 Eleven goals already this season: https://www.soccerbase.com/players/player.sd?player_id=96012 I find it so frustrating when we bring players with obvious talent through the academy and then bin them off without giving them a chance.

Maybe season long loans abroad is the answer for someone like Stretton and Sibley? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
