[Wellup4it]

Club has confirmed on Twitter that Louis Moult is off to Preston North End for an undisclosed fee believed to be in the region of £450K.

He'll go with our thanks of course but it's a great bit of business for the club. He delivered 50 goals, has a great relationship with the fans, cost us little and we managed to get almost half a million for him given he has only three months left in his contract.

Half a million? That's a decent amount considering he's only got 5 months left on his contract. I take it there will be a decent sell on clause as well. So lets hope he does the business and gets a multi million pound move to the premiership.

Would like to think if he was fit he would be able to play against Accies on 30th December as his last game for the club.But would be pleasantly surprised if he would be allowed to play

Preston fan in peace. It sounds like we have got ourselves a crackin player but whats the general opinion of Moult and do you think he can give North End that little bit extra to get us into the play-offs.

If he performs anywhere close to his last couple of years in our league he's bound to score plenty for you. Give him some love and he'll respond.

You've got yourselves a gem mate. On and off the field the fella's been nothing but awesome for us. Sad to see him leave, but he goes as a well loved player who made us decent dosh. Factor in the goals that got us to the LC Final and the telly money, and his 450K fee is topped up with another half Mill I reckon.
If you've got guys who can play in some decent crosses / passes he'll knock 'em in with nonchalance. Not scared to put the boot in too if needed. We'll remember him for sure, and monitor his progress down the road. Your gaffer Alex Neil knows him from previous goals he scored against his old team Hamilton. They're 5hite BTW - just so you know

Moult has done very well for us and his sale fits in with our business model. He also leaves with a bit of class and decorum. However he'll find it much tougher to score in the English Championship. The gulf in class between that league and our Premiership is daunting but he has got talent is a good professional.

I too doubt he'll be a roaring success in terms of goals, at least at first, but he's a good player and total pro on and off the park who will only improve the PNE squad.

Should be a good signing for your team. There is a gulf in class between the championship and our top league but Moult is a worker so he will graft in to make up for that. He is a very clever player and his movement is second to none. You will have to play to his strengths though, that means getting plenty balls in the box for him to have a chance, if you do that he will score. Gem of a player and a top guy into the bargain. Hope he does the business for you side.
