Iain Turner, personal opinions.

According to the oh so reliable source that is the Mirror, we have been linked to freebie Iain Turner from Everton, who was on loan at the end of last season with Preston.

I have to say I have mixed feelings over this. He did get relegated with Preston, but when he joined them in February, they conceded far fewer goals with him between the sticks. For example in the first 28 games Preston conceded 53 goals, and only 26 for the 18 games he was there. That's 1.44 goals per game down from 1.89. Now Leeds last season conceded 70 in 46. That's a ratio of 1.52 goals per game conceded.

He's also a regular in the Scotland squad despite not making a senior appearance yet.

Preston fans also seem to rate him, and hope that another club doesn't swoop in for him http://www.not606.com/showthread.php/46849-Ian-Turner?s=1343b39adeadce5de3f9f4a8dd2acc38

So while at first glance it seems drab, it may be a shrewd bit of business.
