Nope, because no team has felt the need to push the boat out to get him like they did with Darren Bent and Dean Ashton, i wonder why?.
Do you know for how many years Ashton and Bent were playing regular for Crewe and Ipswich respectively? Longer than Nugent has been at PNE.

Erm both Ashton and Bent were 16 when they made their debuts for their teams, Nugent was playing for Bury (who were two leagues lower) when he was 16 and moved to Preston in January 2005, so he's pretty much had 3 seasons with them and around 5 seasons of league football overall but yet still nobody from the premiership has taken a chance, Darren had four years at Ipswich before he left and Ashton had just about had 4 and a half years, but nice try though!!, man you're desperate to prove me wrong.
A joker. Jan 05 to March 07 and he was heavily linked in Jan 07 so he could easily have gone after 2 years but PNE weren't willing sellers because of what the Premiership would be worth to them. Bury to PNE at the top-middle of the Championship is a big step and he succeeded, he is playing for U21s and has succeeded, that is a pretty good progression.
Last time I checked 2 years 2 months was closer to 2 years that 3 years nice try though! If you can't do a good argument why reply as if you have won it hands down?
Do you rate Tim Cahill? He spent nearly 7 seasons at Millwall and was around 25 when someone took a chance on him. Hindsight is a great thing but Nugent will be a big success in the top flight.
Erm you're the one who tryed to include Ashton and Bent' stats into the debate and fell flat on your backside when i came up with the facts that he's spent more time playing in the league than both Ashton and Bent did before they moved to the big time, being "linked" don't mean shit, he's still in the championship because no-one has felt inclined to force Preston's hand (every player has a price) when it could be argued he's played better for Preston than he has this season as he he went around 10 games without scoring and has only just rediscovered his scoring touch, and what the hell does playing for the "u21's" prove?, Francies Jeffers did and he's a superstar ain't he? :roll: , and Tim Cahill plays in a different position so it's silly to compare them, it seems your cheerleading for Nugent has left you totally devoid of reality, HE'S NOT BETTER THAN LUKE OR GABBY BECAUSE HE'S NEVER PLAYED IN THE PREMIERSHIP, it's that simple, don't take it personally Jas just accept that you've been found out!!.
Oh super.
