www.kentonline.co.uk/medway/sport/payne-linked-with-gills-return-38414/?A simple way around the problem of money should JED really want Jack is to say we want him on a free take it or leave it.I may mean waiting but if there are no other offers that Jack in interested in. They may come back to us.Unless the fee is a small one I can't see enough reason to pay it.There are plenty more fish in the sea so to speak.The holding roll in midfield needs to be filled but it is not top of the list of priorities. We could even start the season with the current midfield.Or bring in a loan Jack can afford to wait so can we.Personally I think Barry Fry it trying it on.If Jack wants to move back to Medway to live there are very few clubs that he will be within commuting distance let them wait.Other areas of the pitch need to be filled first.

Personally, I'd welcome him back. Never wanted him to leave in the first place. A definite improvement on Josh Pritchard !

Is he better than what we have? Absolutely. Personally, I'd say a midfield of Payne and Loft would be as good as any in our league. Add on Dack in the hole, and that's class

Reportededly £750,000 I heard. If so, even if Posh wanted to recuperate 10% of that fee, it is not a price Mr Scally often pays for players.

Wages and signing on fee could be a problem, if and it is a big if we could sign him on a free transfer. As said before, this could be a long wait depending on how keen Posh are to get him off the wage bill. Peter Taylor seemed to be keen to turn Callum Davies into a holding midfielder, I wonder if the coaches have mentioned that to JED?

Don't know about our current budget, but Scally has paid fees like that recently for Birchall and Kedwell. I don't think he's scared of paying for the right player

I prefer your first prediction I heard it would be a free transfer but since Barry Fry has started mentioning money I'm not so confident! Having said that Payne could be a marquee signing which will please most fans so it could happen for the right price. The question is, would Mr Scally be prepared to pay a six figure sum because that's what it could take if it's true Posh paid £750k.

Not sure a six figure sum is appropriate. Appears from the Peterborough site that the fans are more than annoyed with Fry at some of the players he is letting go, including Payne who they seem to agree had a good season.
