Stevosevic Posted 1 September Posted 1 September Don’t mind that deal tbh. Hes not staying beyond this season anyway.
RowlattsFox Posted 1 September Posted 1 September Not sure on loan rules but do we have space for Page to be loaned back? Would rather agree a fee for the summer but probably too much risk involved in that.
Manwell Pablo Posted 1 September Posted 1 September 1 minute ago, Aleksz said: Because the paperwork for said loan back won't go through in time for him to take part in this match day. Just as Riis for example won't be in the squad tonight, it will still count as a player transaction. Suppose it is deadline day. Still as I say needs must. Clubs in too much of state to turn it down.
dmayne7 Posted 1 September Posted 1 September 16 minutes ago, JimJams said: With the loan back I don't think this stage of the window matters as much. We don't need to replace. It's the principle though. He has a good season and things pick up for us, then suddenly he's worth a lot more than he is now. Obviously the argument against that is that you're getting the guaranteed money and a free loan out of it but would rather we take the risk. 1
Pliskin Posted 1 September Posted 1 September Both him and Souttar are in the squad. So neither will be leaving.

Ric Flair Posted 1 September Posted 1 September Deal doesn't need to be done tonight if we are keeping him for the season. Just sort it whenever to be effective from 01/01/2027. Although hope this doesn't happen and we keep him full stop.

Manwell Pablo Posted 1 September Posted 1 September Anyway I'm going to watch some proper football at Trafford FC as King Power aren't getting another penny out of me, I'll leave you lot to your speculations. King Power Out. 1
DezFox Posted 1 September Posted 1 September In my opinion there is no positive spin on this deal. Regardless of what happens now losing page at this stage is self destructive. 3

Regardless of what happens now losing page at this stage is self destructive. He’s an exceptional talent who will go to the very top. Just look at the best teams. They spend fortunes on their midfield 3’s every year. Arsenal currently have 6 who could get into most sides In the world. IMO Page will go on to be worth £100m plus no trouble. I don’t think it would have mattered what league we’re in, perhaps we could have asked for 5-10m more in the champ, who knows. But he was never going to be ours for long regardless of where we are. Hopefully our new DOF has negotiated a good deal with add ons and a sell on. The loan back would be brilliant business too. 1
markko Posted 1 September Posted 1 September Let's just see. He is a really good talent. Better than Monga IMO. If we sell him and end up just paying Faes wages it will be a bitter pill. Please off load the dross first or as well. 3
iancognito Posted 1 September Posted 1 September Was the last time we did a loan back the Alan Smith to Arsenal deal? It's such a rare thing these days. 2

lcfc sheff Posted 1 September Posted 1 September The club have no reason to sell. Apparently we don’t need the money, he’s got 3 years left on his contract and is probably best suited to getting as much game time as possible with us. just typical transfer deadline nonsense
Simonb Posted 1 September Posted 1 September 48 minutes ago, adejo92 said: Yup, ordinary I would say fvck him off if he's leaving. But we are so reliant upon needing promotion this season, and someone like Page could be the difference between it, I would say having him back is worth blocking one of our youth players development for a season. But we'll see, hopefully he isn't going anywhere this window. Exactly this, he's needed in the eleven... even if we managed to keep him he'd be off there next summer anyway, so whether we sell and loan back, sell this summer on a pre sale for next summer or he leaves next summer... whichever it is we have him for a year before he properly goes... worst situation is obviously he goes and we dont get him back
