Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3315126, member: 9853"] It's a bit soon to get worried about any of this. Here's what we know: 1. Payne has never at any point commented on what he wants. The ten years at $1mill. That came from the club via the press. It was never credible. Payne has never complained about the money he's on, but we all know he's currently underpaid. 2. The only source that said a deal's been finalized is the headline in the CM, which was immediately contradicted by the body copy. Badel has doubled down with confidence it will happen, and we know he badgers Walters, Donaghy and Ikin all day. 3. We don't know what Payne's manager has said to Badel or Weidler. 4. Whenever the club's legal has attempted to cover its arse, it's turned out to a stalling tactic every time. 5. On a more troubling note, we can be sure Fifita is in Payne's ear telling him how to play the contract game. Fifita famously changed his mind a hundred times. Every journalist got wrongfooted during that. And so did the club. [/QUOTE]
