Midfielders depart

Last updated : 15 November 2005 By Ob790
There were two departures from Preston's overcorwded midfield today.

Firstly Frenchman Erik Skora has left the Lillytwhites for a one month loan deal at League One side Walsall and is expected to go straight into the side to face Gillingham this weekend. The flamboyant Frenchman has yet to nail down a spot in the first team under Billy Davis and it looks as though his future may lie elsewhere with a one month loan spell agreed with by the Saddlers.

Dickson Etuhu who has been rumoured since pre season to be coveted by several clubs finally made his way out of Deepdale. Dickson has found it hard going this season despite scoring on the opening day. The strong midfielder has been unable to force his way into the side with the influential pairing of Jones and Mckenna being the prefered choice of the manager. Etuhu joins struggling Norwich in a loan deal which ends on January 10, however, it is though that a more permanent deal will be hammered out before this date arrives.
