Haven’t seen much of Browne but when he came to the Valley he was nothing like Hourihane. He was Preston’s go to in midfield and was always on the ball and making a presence, the exact opposite of Hourihane. Maybe that was just a good day for him but he definitely wasn’t wishy washy. Looked a really solid 8 who put his stamp on the game.

He doesn't possess an X factor. Also a bit like Jeff you're not really too sure what exactly he does or where's best to deploy him. He might get picked up by a premier League manager whose outlook is a bit more old school. I don't think he has amazing abilities as either defensive midfielder or an attacking midfielder to set him apart for a premier League starting spot. 

He definitely falls into the same bracket as Conor Hourihane. A bit of a wishy-washy midfielder. I think that browne is a better all round midfielder than Conor, who when you strip away his dead ball ability doesn't offer a huge amount.

To a team of greater quality than Preston if an offer comes in for him, obviously.

Is he Premier League quality, though? Probably not quite.

Cool

I can’t see any Premier League club taking a punt on him.

Browne has a year left on his contract, PNE usually sell on a player every year and Browne is at an age where his next contract will be the most lucrative of his career.. PNE are dire to watch last week they played Browne at full back and kicked long balls up front to Maguire on his own.

Browne is the only midfielder we have who can score a goal. Worth a go for that alone, although he has a touch like long john silver

It'll be interesting to see how Browne does under Kenny and if he plays him in an advanced position in the midfield. He has a good knack for goals as well.

Looks like Preston bottled promotion chances again. Hope Browne moves on.

Browne seems to be used in a range of different positions, ive seen him in the holding role a few times and has been good.

only watched a few mins today and he seemed to be in a deeper midfield 2 alongside Pearson from what I saw.

Preston working their way into the championship playoffs and Browne seems to be playing a big part.

Any Preston fans on here know which position he's be playing of late? I know he's been moved around a lot over his years at preston.
