The midfielder, currently on loan at Barnsley, is said to be receiving interest from Ipswich Town, Fulham and Bristol City.
Brownhill was originally part of the Manchester United youth setup but then joined the Preston academy in which he had a very successful time.

Put this in ME's ''highly likely' category, then!Charnwood wrote:I hear Arsenal are likely to release Theo Walcott in the summer, now he would be a decent signing and give us pace and score a few goals.
Well he was successful enough to catch MM's eye haha! I'm not really bothered though; I'm just having a laugh. I think you agree MM needs to adjust our style of play in order to be more competitive. I just hope we're able to attract a few creative players for next season. COYB!bluemike wrote:Remind me where has Tommy Oar been successful again ? I suppose at 24 years old he still has time to achieve something in the game.
Yeah I'm still baffled about that...his highlight videos made him look brilliant. He's probably a bit too sensitive for MM's personality. You know how those Aussies and Kiwis are?

I know it's the Sun, but I have to admit I'd love to see Poyet as ITFC manager. The 'MM to Villa' banter is beginning to get louder. Funny...all those times people said who would replace MM...I never thought about Poyet.
MM now 6th choice for the Villa job - alegedly!hallamblue wrote:number 9 wrote:http://footballleagueworld.co.uk/ipswic ... st-target/

Said exactly those two only a couple of weeks ago.....wouldnt be upset with that tbh...but suspect its a load of old cobblers!
Not a great fan of Poyet myself. Anyhow, I fully expect Evans to continue the policy that has been in place under Mick with regards to strengthening the squad and would be surprised if Poyet would agree to that.number 9 wrote:http://footballleagueworld.co.uk/ipswic ... st-target/

I think I would be quite happy with this, don't know a great deal about him but have read positive things, for me this is the type of target we should be looking at.WTD understands that Town are continuing to pursue their interest in Southend United midfielder Jack Payne.
A report yesterday claimed Huddersfield were the close to landing the highly-rated 21-year-old but we understand the Blues are also still very much in the hunt with manager Mick McCarthy keen to add goals to his midfield.
Wolves and Dutch side Sparta Rotterdam have also been linked with Payne, who will be out of contract at the end of the season and seems certain to leave Roots Hall having failed to agree new terms, while Bristol City and Millwall are also interested.
As Payne is under 24 years of age Southend would be due compensation from his new club, a figure either agreed between the sides or by a tribunal. According to the Southend Echo, Huddersfield and Sparta are the only ones to have contacted the Shrimpers so far, although sides can speak to the player without having sought permission from his current club.
In March, TWTD reported that Town boss McCarthy was spotted at Roots Hall watching the League One game between Southend and Crewe Alexandra in which Payne scored a last-minute penalty as the sides drew 1-1.
The 5ft 5in tall attacking midfielder was released by Tottenham as a schoolboy and subsequently joined the Shrimpers.
Having come through the Essex club’s youth system Payne, who can play centrally, wide or up front, broke into the senior side at the start of the 2013/14 season.
Since then the Londoner has gone on to make 52 starts and 35 sub appearances, scoring 17 goals, nine of them during 2015/16.

On his day he would be a very good signing, his delivery is great. I have heard he was on silly money at Bolton that we just would not pay.Town are reportedly facing competition for ex-loanee Liam Feeney from Birmingham City and other Championship clubs. The 29-year-old is out of contract this summer having not been offered new terms by relegated Bolton Wanderers.
According to the Bolton News the Midlanders are among a number of other sides interested in the winger with wages said to be a sticking point in his negotiations with Town.
Speaking on the final day of the season, manager Mick McCarthy confirmed that the Blues were in talks with Feeney, who joined Town on loan in March and made seven starts and two sub appearances, scoring once, regarding a permanent deal.
“We’re talking to him and we’re talking to his agent,” he said. “I’d like him to stay and he would like to stay and if we can come to a mutually beneficial deal then that’s what will happen. If we don’t, then we won’t.”
Hope we don't spend too much time on this. Offer him something ..... take it or leave it. He's looking for his last big payday and we need players who want to take us forward...... not more 30 year olds sitting on improved contracts. If he takes a pay cut then we know he wants to be here.bluemike wrote:On his day he would be a very good signing, his delivery is great.

Have to agree. In is time with us hes been far too inconsistent.rossi wrote:He's had an offer from us, and by all accounts turned it down.
That's it, then: tell him to sod off.
He's not nearly as good as he obviously thinks he is - sure he ran rings around us but that's more to do with our terrible slow defending rather than him being really tricky.
Exactly but they bloody well will.herforder wrote:No way do we want to enter into an agent driven bidding war. Accept what we can afford for what we're buying, or move on. (But supporters should not then complain about ME's lack of investment etc)!
