Jack Payne (in talks, possibly)

[Devonport Ender]

For me this saga seems like

Posh offer player around as they want him off the wage bill.
Argyle make him an offer.
Posh publicise it to try and encourage him to move.
Player not interested in coming here.

Hope we are not forced to pay beyond our realistic price. He went to Orient and they slipped rather towards the end of last season, so is he really an effective League Two midfielder/the effective League Two central dynamo we need? I do not know the player, so cannot answer my own questions, but I fear that we may spend beyond what is sensible unless DA is sure that he is the man for the job.

He didn't play in 11 of their last 14 games, but was a regular beforehand. That works in his favour surely?

 

[Rich McLean]

I think this could end up being a dead duck and Payne wanting League 1/Championship football

 

[ealinggreen]

Championship? No chance.

 

[Bermudian Green]

Sounds ass about face that does.

Probably a donkey anyway.

 

[Tom Cobbley]

Sounds ass about face that does.

Probably a donkey anyway.

Could end up at Blackpool then

Oh, that I didn't know and certainly had not taken on board. May work in his favour, as you say, but was there a reason he played so infrequently in latter part of season?

 

[Tugboat]

Surely dead in the water?

 

[X Isle]

Was it ever even alive in the water?

 

[Waraqah]

Surely dead in the water?

You trying to drum up a bit of trade, Mr. Tugboat? :lol:

 

[TPG Extreme]

Dead in the water. Pretty much confirmed by the posh chairman.

 

[Topboy]

What a strange episode this was.

It seems it was purely orchestrated by Barry Fry.

 

[loyal1970]

was that the same player who played for Huddersfield v Liverpool last night.

No, that's the Jack Payne who was at Southend last season.

Na different one! That one for Huddersfield used to play for Southend and is way out of our league!
