Bearing in mind the supposed interest from Premier League teams in the lad I am concerned that we maybe are being used as a tester for them. If a Prem team signed him on loan he probably would not get any game time. I guess from reading between the lines as to what caveats to the loan deal Orlando have made, we will be required to give him game time. That will give Prem teams the opportunity to have a good look at him. If he lives up to the hype and is a 'Wunderkind' we will be gazumped irrespective of what the option to buy says, because as we all know money talks.
its been a while jan Arga, thought he was a reyt laker before him Super Johnny Hendrie and before him Barnsley`s no.1 takeaway Red Hot David Currie and a flop that didt live up to what i expected Andy Payton
I wouldn’t agree that Payton was a flop. He wasn’t a particularly likeable lad, but he did score goals.
OK flop may be wrong word but never lived up to what i was expecting from him 12 in first season 12 in second & 17 in third (getting there) i obviously made me mind up with him the first two seasons
But that make no difference Dane says a fee is agreed, a deal can be done at any time of our choosing.. no need to read between the lines, just listen to what is actually said..
If his agent knows there are Premier League clubs that want him, and he knows the fee that Orlando are willing to sell him for, what do you think he will do?
And if the Prem team approach his agent and offer to treble his wage (and the agent's commission) and offer Orlando double the transfer fee ? You are extremely naïve if you think everyone will stick to an agreement even if it's a contract.
The way I understand it (could be wrong) a deal is agreed with Orlando yes but if we choose to activate that clause we would then have to agree personal terms with the player, thats where it could get a bit difficult as if better teams come knocking and offer more money not a lot we can do.
Other exciting signing? International striker from t'other side of Atlantic. Ladies and Gentlemen - Miguel Mostto.
Payton exited the womb feeling grumpy, midwife slapped his arse and he never, ever smiled from that moment...
