JFC to Rotherham

Twitter posts now saying it'll be a loan deal

If so, it surely means JFC must be signing a contract extension ? Otherwise he's out of contract and available "on a free" when the loan expires.

We really need to unload JFC on a Perm - happy with 500k, has failed to kick on from early promise

He might have refused a new contract.

This way he has all options open to him

But why are BHAFC letting him out on loan, and not holding out for a sale ? There is still 7 weeks to go until transfer deadline day. No need to rush a loan through just yet.

10 years development, England U21 capped, we are losing £10m+ a year and you want to offload him for £500k

Plus a sell on %, but cant see us getting much more with only 1yr left on his contract

Loan with a view to buy in January?

Why not buy now in that case ?

Try before you buy?

Why would albion be interested in rushing that sort of deal through 7 weeks before the window shuts, unless the 'buy' part was 100% signed for and committed ?

Try before you buy?

And return if no good

How long a loan?

No idea. It may not be, it's just a rumour.

Rotherham have a wage structure in place and won't pay over £10k a week, maybe that's why it may be an initial loan deal.

Can't for one moment think he'd be anywhere near£10k

I would bite Rotherham's hand for £500k for a midfielder that only passes sideways!
Can't win them all. JFC is never going to be part of a side looking at reaching the Premier.
Time to move on for all parties

I don't know any one who would disagree with this. The team seems to have moved on faster than him during his time with us, and I just can't see him starting anymore games for us, even in an injury crisis.

Not a bad palyer by any means, and with all due respect to Rotherham at the moment, maybe that's his level.

Not forgetting his goal of the season. He does well with the England set up, so I can see him pushing on with another manager. The criticism of him when he has been playing in a different position is unwarranted imo.

Someone should frame that forward pass and sell it in the club shop.

Would be apt to Make it a limited edition

Rotherham are closing on paying a club record fee of around £1m for Millwall's Lee Gregory.
If they do it will empty their transfer budget so might make sense for them to negotiate a loan.
Given the way player values are rising we might well extend his deal with a view to cashing in later. Another option is to agree a loan deal with a commitment to buy at a fixed price at the end.
