He's likable for sure and would be a good signing for Preston.
He, like a few other players, have been left behind a bit by our rapid rise and unfortunately probably isn't what we need to stay in the EPL.
If you do sign him, I really hope he goes well for you lot. Think he would do well

If you do sign him, I really hope he goes well for you lot. Think he would do well After selling Hugill in January we basically need a big, tall forward who will run their socks off for the team, put themselves about and chip in with the odd goal here and there. Hopefully Quaner can be that man. This is probably our last season with this squad before it is dismantled, unless we go up, but we've already been hit by two bad injuries in pre-season to forwards, so strengthening badly needed really. |

Hopefully Quaner can be that man. This is probably our last season with this squad before it is dismantled, unless we go up, but we've already been hit by two bad injuries in pre-season to forwards, so strengthening badly needed really. He is very unorthodox and appears to be a very limited footballer. I think he is more suited to the Championship, over EPL. And to be fair, I think he would be too good for League One. Sure you may look at his average (below average) goal scoring record, but he did end up as our highest assister. This is even more so impressive considering he only started 13 games, and took part in just over half the games. Remembering this is in the Premier League, not the Championship. Give him a full run in the Championship, and I'd wager he'd give you a handy amount of assists and chip in with the odd goal here or there. He scored twice in the Championship for us, in less games than he played in the EPL as well - That in itself tells you that the Championship would be his level. If he started every game for you in the 3 If you're looking for a complete footballer, or a natural goal scorer then Quaner isn't the one you want. However he runs hard, always gives 110% and is fairly unpredictable. He's a big lad (as you know) and also quite quick. He reminds a little bit of a Sunday League footballer, he can be great at times but other times you wonder how he gets paid playing football! He'll be more a squad player rather that the star player if that makes sense. |

A bit of an enigma is our (your) Collin. We wouldn't be in the PL without his cameo effort against the MASSIVE at Hillsborough, play off second leg, when he was magnificent. He has plenty of speed, but the signals from his brain to his feet must get disrupted due to distance travelled, therefore they often do things that he doesn't want them to do - think of a bay giraffe. He has a head like a thruppenny bit, but he can be the stand out player in spells. It will be good to see what he produces with a proper run in a Championship side. |

He's good at certain things, trouble is, nobody really knows what any of those things are. The thing is he provided more assists than Ince who we sold for ten million, work it out? |

Are we all telling a few porkies in case Preston’s recruitment team have a gander on here. Preston fan. He is our worst player. If he moves to you I have no doubt he will have some good performances in the championship equalled by some absolutely terrible ones. Unfortunately a good few of our supporters can’t move on and thinks the sun shines out the arse of every player that touched the ball in last years promotion season so won’t have a bad word said about them. Here is evidence of the fans who can't see past his awkward, unorthodoxy style. Quaner is versatile, creates when played wide, is a physical presence, can score when played up front, is rather rapid, strong and gives 100% every game. He can't change the fact that he looks like a giant alien when he moves, so what more can he do? Good player who'd be a fair squad option for us in the coming season and will do well in the championship if he goes to Preston. |

All about opinions . I’d be fine if he stays . Because his direct style can cause problems for tiring defenders . He isn’t a starter for us . To be honest I think he might struggle to be a starter for Preston . But he has some wildcard qualities . I’m not someone who thinks the sun shines out of all our players asses . I totally understood the Ince sale for eg .. you’re accusing fans of donning rose coloured specs whilst at the same time going complete the other way . How about a bit of balance ? Whilst I don’t think that Coll at Hillsborough means he should be given an indefinite contract here , I think it’s fair to say he changed the game when he came on . Last season there was plenty of panto clown but also times when opposition defenders were unnnerved .. give the guy a break |

Someone should perhaps point out that he’s not a CF he’s a winger really despite his appearance. He isn’t great in the air so if that’s the intention I’d look elsewhere. However if you want an athletic, fast wide man who gives 100% every week and creates (top assists for us last year ) then he’s the man. He was a CF regularly before he signed for Town, we just chose to use him as a wide attacker. Agree with the rest. |

If Ince =10,000,000 @ 1 x assist

I genuinely fear for Quaner moving to another club in England He kind of got away with being so crap here early doors because we were having such a good season which no one had expected. He struggled to even do the most basic of things but still popped up with the crucial goal against Preston and huge assist against the massive. That said, he still had games like Barnsley away where he looked like he could be a player Last season he did improve his touch and general game but it was still short of what is needed at this level. But again he did pop up with some vital assists Moving to another club over here will carry a lot more pressure than he had when he came here. They are signing a 'Premier League' player and will not be expecting someone who struggles to control a football. How easy will they go on him compared to how Town fans have made him a bit of a cult figure. He also won't have loads of other Germans and his best mates around him like he's had here. I think he would be better off moving back to Germany I agree with all of that, other than the severity of the opening gambit. |

Colin is an enigma wrapped in a mystery....
that he does not run or move like a 'footballer' is not in itself a terrible thing...
that he sometimes looks like he has never played the game before can be quite alarming...
he is a good size and can shift once he finds the gear lever and an ungainly style added to often looking like he has no idea himself what's coming next could be useful in a very attacking team...
fair to say I believe he has been 'chalk and cheese' to the support at Town..

Collin’s perceived qualities have always been hindered by his old fashioned British name.
Had he been called Javier Rodriguez then I’m sure plenty would have excused his inability to shoot, cross, pass and head the ball.

Anyone who actually goes away will have seen Quaner at Barnsley where he was absolutely quality and was arguably his best game in a blue and white shirt he did everything except score. That season Barnsley has a strong season and had a great record at home so they were no push over then either. Signing for Preston would be a great move for him and fairly local too. If he goes I wish him good luck and will cherish the memories he made with us I'd add the first half at Watford last season to that. Deeney was so pissed off at Collin ripping the left hand side of the defence that he hacked him down and got sent off. |

Away from Nick, where exactly is this 'love in'?
There's pretty much no one suggesting he is good enough for our team, if not match day squad when everyone is fit, just some of us are cheesed off with the distinct lack of class and humility. You can suggest he ain't the requisite quality without being a dick about it.

Seems as though this is a done deal at PNE....good luck to Big Col if it is.....any players in our promotion winning squad deserves a lot of respect and everyone should wish them well if they move on.

I wonder how man attempts Quaner created compared to Ince and VLP, I wonder how many attempts on goal he had as well. His 5 assists stat is the most overrated and overused stat this board has ever seen.
I appreciate Quaner for all he did for us but he is one of the weakest players in the squad and not good enough for this division.
I’m all for defending our own but there has to be a limit. I’m pretty sure people were rolling out assist stats for Harry Bunn a year or 2 ago, wonder how he’s gonna find League Two.

He is confounding.
His name isn't spelled as you'd expect, it isn't pronounced as you'd expect, and he doesn't play in the position you expect.
When you come to terms with that, he doesn't do the things you expect him to do, doesn't always do that in the way you might expect and the outcome of that is unpredictable as well.
I think he's brilliant, with the caveat that I don't think he's quite good enough often enough to be a first team player in a Premier League side.

Will go with my very best wishes.
Was on the pitch during some of the greatest moments in the clubs history.
Preston are a well run club with a decent shot of getting into the Top 6.
Good luck Super Col!

Quote from the Preston forum: "If he can win headers I'm happy" I saw him head it, once. He’ll do a job if they use him properly and they’re not signing him as a direct replacement for Hugill as a target man. |
