Jack Payne

[Ricey]

I wonder if he was the ex Shrimper we were interested in then? As RHB says we got a great transfer fee for a player who hasn’t really kicked on and if they sold him now probably wouldn’t get what we got for them.

Yes - that ex-player we were "interested" in never surfaced did it?

And I wonder if it is back to that old (and stale) discussion about where and how to play Payne for the best effect.

I shall watch Bradford City with some interest this season - a team that has not managed to get into the play-offs for a number of years and now has a new manager.

Jack and Josh the dream team ......

That's a very good signing for Bradford, their forwards have been poor since January so Jack is exactly the kind of player they need.

 

[davewebbsbrain]

Who cares how many games he's played since he left us and for who. He left when the time was right for him, we got a transfer fee. That's football

 

[SeaSideDoughnut]

It a shame it's not a permanent move really. I feel he needs to settle somewhere to get his career on track properly. Of course he's earning good money still being under contract at Huddersfield but at the moment he's just an over paid League One, maybe Championship player in limbo.

Three promotions with three different teams at three different levels in about five seasons. You're rubbish, Jack. RUBBISH!

Indeed, I expected better for him to be quite honest.

I tried to get onto the "claret and banter" website for Bradford City ...... but it was "down".

Anyone else managing (or even trying) to get in?

Much like SZ they moved to a new website recently called Bantam Talk, Claret and Banter doesn't exist anymore.

Yes - I used the League 1 tab above. Good stuff. Yes - I used the League 1 tab above. Good stuff.

Edit: Is there an echo in here ......

 

[Barling Magna]

Woo............ those Bantam fans are really happy with signing Jack. Good luck to him, but of course I hope he doesn't do well against us.

 

[Rattus Norvegicus]

Scored on his debut yesterday for Bradford.

 

[southend4ever]

Another goal and the match winner for Bradford last night in a 1-0 win against Burton.

 

[Dubai]

Was ****e against us. Was like playing against 10 men.

 

[Ricey]

Much rather have Dieng and Mantom over Payne and Wright.

10 men is a bit kind, every player for Bradford aside from their keeper was awful.

 

[RHB]

Although I would imagine that Luton fans have been saying something siimilar about us this week.

 

[Massimo Giovanni]

We, and Bradford fans can give opinions on Jack, but this season he has scored both Bradford goals in their two, one nil wins, hence they have 6 ponits and are top half of the table. WITHOUT him they might well be on nil points with OX. Statistics not opinion.
