Can somebody put me out of my misery - my son hasn't helped. He reckons to have heard something about a straight swap involving Jack Payne ! - Why wouldn't Cody go to a championship club ( higher profile football etc ) and one geographically close to his current club ? I wouldn't want to see Jack leave - but we do have an 'abundance' of good midfield players - and we need to address the striker situation.
 
This would be good business if it could be made to happen PROVIDED there was a sell on clause for Payne (a proportion of any sale fee in the future or a payment after say 50 appearances). Payne and McDonald are similar status, probably good at League 1 level, possibly capable at championship but nowhere near Premiership standard. But there is one difference; McDonald is unlikely to improve but Payne being younger, is likely to improve.
 
Good news:

I was just out on my lunchtime Medway stroll, when I got a bit hungry and went to Quality Kebabs for lunch. Upon walking back down past Priestfield, I saw a car pull up, and who gets out - none other than Cody McDonald, accompanied by a guy in a suit! Cody was holding a book entitled "So, you've signed for a League 2 club...", and asked me for a piece of my kebab, saying "It's hungry work all this contract signing malarky!". Anyway, he then dissappeared into Priestfield, accompanied by Scally who was holding a chequebook.

Encouraging signs you have to say! I'm not counting any chickens yet - it could all be coincidence - but maybe just maybe we've got our man!
 
Gills_Steve - although that quality kebab story of yours may have looked tempting, you was right in saying not to count your chickens... because I think your find Colonel Sanders is saving the quality birds of a feather for his higher league clientele !

Still never mind I'm sure there is still the cheap meat and chips on offer out there for us.
 
This site server is doing my head in tonight.

I was going to joke about it, but started my reply at 21:50....

Oh, sod it (hope that language is allowed)..

Seems a bit like shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted to upgrade the server 2 hours after the transfer window has closed.

And we're really suffering on behalf of everyone else because there sure ain't any activity at Priestfield.
