Jack Payne - RECALLED

[harrymark1]

I see Huddersfield have signed Alex Pritchard described as an attacking midfielder for 12m (rumoured) pushing Jack further down the pecking order. Could/should we try and sign permanently?

If he'll take a pay cut why not?

 

[brassmonkey]

IMO yes. We need a few more players in the same class as Payne so oppo teams cant double up on him every game.

 

[tonto]

would be amazing if we could sign Jack

 

[Scotchegg]

The only issue is that we have given Jack a free role which has only really worked when sacrificing a second striker. You need everyone else to be disciplined, which is why we've struggled when Hall or van Kessel have played.

Jack is a great player, as was Maguire, but their individual success can be at the expense of the team. If we are to get better players, we need to find away to fit Payne into the team before we splash out on him.

Noo ?

 

[Northstandboy]

This is bad news. But we have Cameron to replace him. Just hope he hits the ground running.

 

[RATC]

Can't wait until later today, Sheffield United or Barnsley FC are delighted to announce the arrival of Jack Payne on Loan for the rest of the season.

 

[Oufcad30]

Do Sheffield United need him?

Can see it being Barnsley

 

[West Oxon U’s]

Jack has not been great in recent weeks. Whilst I have enjoyed watching him most of the time,
he has been guilty of giving up possession far too easily and running down too many blind alleys.

He must have a move lined up for him to be recalled by Huddersfield I would think.

We move on. Hope we keep Mowatt for the remainder of the season though.Class player
on Saturday’s showing.

 

[Ricey]

Guess they will re-loan or sell him this window?

As gutting as it is, if we continue to play 2 up top I’m not sure he fits the team. Not effective wide left, too light weight for centre mid.

Gutted! Maybe a bit inconsistent but overall was a real plus to the squad.

I was hoping that we'd potentially have Jack AND Cameron for the rest of the season

 

[RATC]

I reckon he's going to be sold. They've just signed a AM for £12m. Watch him end up somewhere like Barnsley or Wigan...

 

[Shosho]

Have to keep Ledson now.

Payne/Ledson/Eastwood leaving in this window would be a nightmare.

 

[JuanPabloRaponi]

It happens and it's understandable. A big surprise we managed to get a player of that quality in the first place so I came to terms with losing him this month the day he signed and it was clear there was this recall option.

If he goes back out on loan to another L1 team I will be a bit shitty with Huddersfield but other than that I get it.

 

[Marked Ox]

On his day a brilliant player but if wasn't his day could be utterly anonymous.

Playing in a 4-4-2, he didn't really fit naturally so hopefully we can replace him with another wide player (unless Pep is going to use Napa more instead). This may free up Rob Hall more within the team should he get back from injury.

I thought I would be bothered by this but I'm a bit meh about it tbh and not bothered. The reason I think is it possibly opens the tactical options up. Now to re-sign Chris Maguire.

 

[Northstandboy]

Gutted! Maybe a bit inconsistent but overall was a real plus to the squad.

Like the entire squad atm though.

Perhaps Preston have changed their mind about who they want! ?
