When things were glum, figures were banded about

around loans. I guess Forster this season is a good one, it was reported Newcastle wanted a loan fee of around 500k, so Lambert got Ruddy for 250k instead

A masterstroke really, Ruddy's development has been incredible

From there though, if you're going to take Prem players on loan and long term, I think the numbers will soon stack up in agent fees, long fees, and wages

If accounts bemoaned loans and agent fee's in millions over the last couple of seasons, I think you can inflate Jayson's numbers considerably higher

Or wait to see how we afforded to go up. I don't think it's a fairy tale bargain though
