I wonder if we'll we benefit if they do sell him.
Nope, pretty sure there's nothing to come on Jack, which is why his fee was agreed so quickly - it was full and final.

Do you know that for sure, or is that just your best guess?
I can't remember which of the incumbents of recent CEOs it was, but it's what we were told at the time.

Bit odd... still league one?

Odd as he was doing great for Oxford, unless Blackburn are interested in a try before you buy maybe?

Reading the Oxford forum it sounds like Payne has been played as a Wide Midfielder in recent matches since Oxford have switched to 4-4-2. Maybe Huddersfield weren't pleased he was being played out of position and so they've found a club that will play him centrally?

Not odd at all,unlikely to play very regularly at Championship level-when chosen to start at mid-table Oxford,he often got taken off at ,or soon after half-time.

Or maybe Blackburn have agreed to pay more of Payne's wages than Oxford?
Personally I think it's more likely that it's with a view to a permanent move...

I really can't understand the amount of people on this forum who do not rate Payne and seem to want to criticise him at every opportunity, the vast majority of the Oxford supporters on the link that has been posted are sorry to see him go and recognise his undoubted quality and wish him well, just because he decided to leave Southend for a much higher wage elsewhere (like practically any sensible person would have done) a lot of people seem to want to see him fail, a very strange attitude, he always gave his all for Southend. I am sure he will do very well at Blackburn and has a very good opportunity of enjoying another promotion at the end of this season, something he seems to make a habit of doing! I for one would welcome him back to Southend with open arms, he would be a marked improvement on the majority of players currently gracing the (awful) turf at Roots Hall!!

I reckon this one is with the view to a permanent deal in the summer. I don't ever think Oxford would have been in the running for that

If this is directed at me I was only reporting from the Oxford forum that it sounds like he's struggled to adapt to their 4-4-2 formation (which is backed up by him not having a goal or an assist in the last 9 league matches), which isn't surprising since 4-4-2 doesn't use an attacking midfielder so he would have been out of position. I'd never want him to fail at a club, when utilised well he's easily championship quality.

No it wasn't directed at you in the slightest so apologies if that's how it has come across! It was directed at the numerous other posters who seem to think that Payne is a poor footballer who apparently wouldn't be welcome back here, which is laughable given the attacking quality currently at our disposal!

We still have an away game against Blackburn to come .......... so it looks like we might get another chance to see Payne in action.

Lightweight and lacks pace, made a bad move too early and should have stayed with us for a couple more years. Can't see Payne playing any higher than Championship football.....Dru has some real class and will be interesting to see how he develops....could be a superstar!

So he should of sacrificed a large wage increase and be involved in a promotion season to the premier league to stay at southend. Wow, thats about as biast I've seen on here.

Nope, but he has sacrificed his long term future for short term gain. He has been on two loans and both are are the level he left. Says a lot really

I agree Jack is unlikely to ever make it to the premier league but I don't see why Huddersfield was a bad move for him, he played in 23 league matches for them that season and he's now playing in League 1, so it's not like he's gone backwards with them, he's just ended up back where he started.
