why didn't he just wait until it was a done deal?

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

Believe it when I see it

 

[Greebosan]

Payne is obviously very much in his thoughts, if truth be told.

 

[Skyblue]

Please dont let this be an April fool. Why would Brown be interested with Payne staying unless he's made up his mind to stay too.

PB isnt going anywhere ,i think myself he is happy at Southend and will stay next season and guide us into the championship,he can see that we have a nucleus of a very good team and another promotion can only sit well in his resume.So off course he will make every effort to keep Payne , Leonard , Bentley if at all possible and any other player he deems good enough to helphim get that promotion ,that includes Barnett ,thomson,Coker,Wordsworth,Deegan.

 

[Skyblue]

I really hope you're right, but surely if Bolton come knocking with the insentive of cash to spend he'l be too tempted to refuse.

 

[kevst183]

Well has he signed??

I took off shortly after the final whistle. Landed an hour or so ago comforted that at least Payne will have signed a contract. I'm shocked. It appears this hasn't happened. Next thing you know will be the new ground being revealed as pure pipe dream :'(

I saw 3 guys in the away end at Blackpool in Liverpool coats, one had an iPad, they definitely looked like scouts. Payne and Bentley were surely the only ones they could have been looking at.

Did they have permed hair, tashes and argued a lot

I'm reliably informed they were they hoping to seek a swap deal between David Mooney and Christian Benteke . Mad bloke Klopp hates Benteke with a passion and was heard to say he would rather have an injured David Mooney than F***** Benteke up front.

Unless Payne signs before this weekend as suggested by PB then it's looking ominous that he will leave like Bentley.

Story appears linking player in contract talks with his club with several unnamed bigger clubs. Fingers crossed for us it's just Jack's agent trying to get a better deal.

 

[Rob49]

He would be a cheap option for many higher clubs who would be willing to take a chance on him with relative little outlay to be honest.

 

[Ricey]

Bit of a nothing article really, something that has been sorted out by his agent no doubt. No rumours of who is actually interested just that they are aware of him.

I hope he stays would be a great loss to the club. Especially at a reduced fee due to tribunal.

 

[kentblues]

in Jack's case playing regular is essential- if we can give him that then he should stay. If think for Jack at this point going to a 'big' club and getting splinters in his backside would be a very negative outcome for him. In a couple of years he will be playing at a higher level regularly with us (preferred) or with someone else (having gone their with the necessary experience to demand selection from day one)

He's off. Brown has said talks have reached an impasse, according to BBC Essex. Hardly a surprise but there you go.
