Piroe to Wet Sham could happen today. Loan with obligation to buy (hearing £15m) .

A win win win imo.
Good price for us with 1 yr left.
He needs game time as Saturday proved.
He'll fire them back to the EPL.

Not good if Wet Spam don't get promoted because he will walk for Free !

We do have an option for a further year, but if this is the best opportunity we have to get the fee we want then it's probably worth a go. If we don't find him a move this year, he leaves for free anyway.

Pretty sure they will, and he walks for free at the end of the season anyway.

If he's off, surely that says we have an incoming forward?

He'll have to sign the contract extension before signing on loan for them! I.e., we activate the 1 year option that is supposedly in his contract already.

Insist on the 15 million now. West Ham are not short of a few bob after their summer sales.

He's our player, our terms surely: 10 million up front, 4 million if West Ham gains promotion. Who looks after our deals? I would sooner let him for nothing next season than be dictated to mot.

Parrot going to Betis after West Ham's £17m offer was rejected. Betis are strapped for cash, so they might have to sell. We've supposedly looked at Deossa and offered, allegedly, nearly £7m, which has been rejected.

He's a bit different to our current midfielders, so if there is any interest, one will go, probably AO. That could be a smart move, as Tanaka cost under £4m, and the profit would be a welcome addition to our squad ratio.

Letting him go out even on loan benefits us for SCR because his wages are off the books and we probably get a loan fee. If we keep him at the club, then that reduces the amount we have to spend elsewhere, and if the obligation is triggered, that benefits us more next season for SCR.

Ridiculous statement, Alf.
If the obligation is triggered, you say?
What if Joel gets injured, if it's appearance related, or what if West Ham don't get promoted?
It's a big gamble to loan him out, especially with the obligations being mentioned. I'd rather take a few million less now than take the gamble down the line.

These are the risks you take, Formerly - he could get injured training while awaiting a move if Wet Sham don't want to pay upfront. I trust the owners are selecting the best options available to us.
