If we go up then it doesnt matter what price was paid, I suppose its a risk but sometimes you have to.

It probably was a decent wedge but also, expect it to be talked up by the Posh Chairman, who has to justify sending out their captain midway through the season rather than waiting till July to sell him.

Exactly, he has to make out he had no choice....just be thankful that something positive has been done.
Also, the deal is probably that any loan money comes off the ultimate transfer fee. Therefore, if he doesn't work out, we've just lost the loan fee. On the other hand, if he's ok, we only pay a bit more and we've got a good player. Wasn't this what happened with Ando and some of the others?

That guy at Posh is a prize tit. Anyway, what constitutes "ridiculous" to him is probably peanuts to us, given the prize on offer.

What is brilliant about this is that Boyd has come to us because he wants to play Premiership football.
Oh shit, I'm actually starting to believe the unthinkable.

I'm currently living in the rich bastard belt in Monmouthshire, though regrettably I'm not one myself. One bloke in the local tonight was fresh back from a posh job in London saying it's a price Forest can afford IF they go up. You could probably get Moses twice for the price of a Boyd if he's to be believed. No idea what his credentials are or who he knows, but I almost never hear rumours about Forest so I'm posting it regardless.

With Ando we got an occasionally good player, but yes, basically.
Does anyone here seriously think our Aquisitions Panel will pay over the odds for a player?
No? Me neither.

No more than a million.

I think we'll have offered them £500k now and £1.5m on top of that in the summer to keep him.

I'm pretty certain it will be a fair bit more than a million. But like others I can't see that we'd pay silly money.

I guess we could already be paying at least half of his 'final' fee because we know we already want him permanently.
If he's valued at £2m-£2.5m by Posh, then maybe we've paid a million up front with the rest coming in the summer when he stays here.
Perhaps he was the one we went for in January that Billy said wasn't in the papers. They were changing managers then and still had a chance of staying up so wouldn't have wanted to sell then but now they know they're going down and he'll want to go in the summer, there's no point in keeping him there against his wishes.

Not a chance in hell we've paid £1m upfront now for what could turn out to be only 3 months worth of loan.
I'd say the figure of £2m is on the steep side to pay what will be a League One club next year for one of their players whose contract is running out. They don't have much to bargain with.
My guess is something like:
£300k for the loan period
£700k more to complete the deal in the Summer
£500k upon promotion

From my knoweldge of the Posh...I'd expect it to be in the region of £3million pounds, as that was the fee on the table from Middlesborough, although that was broken down into a whole load of clauses and add-ons...
...Having said that, the offer from Middlesborough was made at a time when the previous manager (Cooper) didn't want to sell and the chairman didn't want to sell. Jim Ganon, the current manager, is of the attitude that anyone who isn't here for the long-term, shouldn't be here...and as Boyd had gone on record stating he wasn't going to sign a new contract when his current deal expires (end of next season), so convinced the chairman to sell.
The irony in this, is that Ganon himself is only contracted to the end of this season...:blink:

He's hardly going to go to Middlesborough in any case though, is he? They're rubbish compared to us.
