Talk up here is we have come back in for your player again. This time on loan for the season, with a fee £6m to pay at the end. Not sure of the validity of this, have any of you heard anything? Whats our chances of getting him? Whats he like?

Thanks in advance ......
Yeah I gather the loan may bear fruition. And on paper 6mil for an unproven youth is not a bad offer.
Of course it depends what one means by unproven. He's had a season of championship footy, scored 7 (or maybe a a few more) goals and of course does well at youth level for England.
But if the owner and manager can wait a bit more, and allow him to develop further then his fee may rise to 10-12million thereabouts.
It all depends what his immediate future is. If he goes on loan to you and doesn't score regularly, then maybe the 6mil is likely. Or if he remains, but doesn't get game time and if he does, doesn't really bang in the goals. I believe he's yours for 6mil in January.
But if he does score double last season's tally, then you'll probably need to increase the bid to around 8 million.
But at this juncture, a loan is your best hope, provided you're still keen.
