Jack Payne

[mfurok]

They certainly sound impressed. Lot of doubters will be proved wrong about Jack Payne and Bentley this season

You're talking about Phil presumably.

 

[Jam_Man]

Phil who started him in every game but one since December?

 

[mfurok]

Phil who started him in every game but one since December?

No.

Not that one.

The one who, since December, left him out of the two games against Bradford City and the games against Peterborough, Crewe and Bury...........and the one who never gave Jack more than nine consecutive league starts throughout his time here.

That's the Phil to whom I was referring.

 

[Jam_Man]

He left him out at the end of the season when the play offs were gone and it was clear he wasnt going to sign a contract, not because of ability, same as Bentley. (and even then he was brought on as a sub for two of them)

He actually started every league game and the cup game in November as well.

He started against Peterbrough.

The other Bradford game the pitch was a mess and he was left out specifically because we knew it was going to be a slog.

In the last 24 games (before the contract situation) he started 21 of them. Yeah sounds like Phil really didnt rate him.

Payne took a while to get going last season but once he got into the side in November he was rarely not in the starting 11.

Fascinating but false.

Try checking your facts.

Personally I like the way Payne had been handled. We did not overplay him, brought him on well and did enough to earn him a move to a higher league. Hopefully he will benefit from the opportunity we gave him and go on to having a good solid career.

Just scored for Huddersfield up at St James Park to give them the lead against Newcastle

And indeed the winner

And indeed the winner

I hope we have a very good sell on fee because he isn't going to be at Huddersfield for long at this rate. I can see a big bid coming in come January which may make us a mint.

Not the mint we would have made had we managed him and his contract properly.

We didn't sell him in the first place? His contract expired so he was a free agent, the only money we'll get is a tribunal fee.

Even tribunals can have percentage sell ons built in.

Scored the winner at Newcastle today, coming on as a late sub.

Does anyone know when the tribunal fee is decided? If he continues in this vein could we get a better deal?

 

[BrettieAngell]

Fair play to the lad, and people were saying it wasn't a good move!

 

[Blues4LifeDan]

He can't have scored, I thought some people said he wasn't good enough and staying with us was essential to his progression! I think Messi would have struggled to progress under our current regime. Well done Jackie.

[Magnum PI]

Lovely finish. Little messi

 

[AndyT]

Yep, quality finish.

Again, I refer you to the most recent - published - Liaison Meeting minutes:

SK advised that the situation with regard to Jack’s move to Huddersfield Town has been resolved to the Club’s satisfaction

I take that to mean that money has or is imminently about to change hands. I'm not sure a tribunal has actually been necessary.
