Thing is, we almost certainly will offer him less money. And I don't think based on what he's said that he'd outright deny just less than what he's on. But tackling the wage bill would appear to need more movement than that and actually, a significantly less wage. I wouldn't expect him to stay on those terms.

I'd say if the club really cares about wanting to keep him around, they need to approach it carefully, even if they are going to low-ball him to begin with, don't be a *** about it and expect him to say yes to anything because of a commitment to the club. Have a high boundary that you can't go beyond, work up to it and if his representatives think he should say no to our highest offer then we leave it at that and on good terms. No taking the ***, no expecting him to be accepting a pittance for his services on the back of the club as a whole's mistakes, something much bigger than Ayala's responsibility at this club.

Most importantly for me, we have to accept the likelihood he leaves and hopefully wish him all the best if he does. I think he's been a great servant for us and I hope, unlike Derby, we treat him as professionally as he's treated being a player for this club.

As if people still think Venus signed Ayala 

Technically Venus was in charge when we brought him in on loan after Mogga got the sack. But he was Aitor's first permanent signing.

He then played his first game as a Boro player the day after away to Leicester, which was coincidentally the wettest I've ever been to watch a match. The heaven's well and truly opened that day.

If I remember correctly too Mahrez made his debut for Leicester that day too.

As far as Ivan Toney is concerned Peterborough public valuation should hold little weight with people. With lower league clubs saying what you will take for a player and what you actually take is usually miles apart. Sitting there hypothetically saying we will only take £13m and then being sat there in front of say a £6m offer knowing what you could do with that sort of money is two different two things.

In any event if there a Peterborough player I want then its Maddison and not Toney as i feel the former could make an instant impact. Not to mention Maddison is into last 6 months of contract.

As far as Toney is concerned I feel a much cheaper option to challenge Britt is out there. We were linked with Jonson Clarke Harris earlier in season and I feel he would be worth a punt from Bristol Rovers. He has 7 goals this season but think he missed the last 6 or 7 league games through injury but returned on weekend.

Knowing January a difficult time to do business, If we get a striker and 1 wide player in January (along with Ayala signing a new deal) I would be content).

The other 5 players out of contract. Rudy and Shotton can go. Marv has done ok this season but again wont be a huge loss if he goes in summer. Would like Howson and Friend to stay. I think the latter will and hopefully former will but if he dont it wont be end of the world for me. Ayala staying is vital though imo.

I was a big advocate for Maddison in the summer. I agree with you, I think Maddison would have more of an impact on our team. At the moment, I feel like we are missing a spark in the team (a creator). I strongly believe he could be that spark. Of course like every transfer there is inherent risk, but I feel that he would be low risk.

I've still not seen Maddison play. He gets his name raised every window on this forum, he supposedly had a ridiculously low buy out clause once, if that was true why is he still in League One? I ask the same question every window but I don't know how even the most risk averse teams haven't taken a chance on him in this division, so why should we?

Totally agree @wilsoncgp. I am also at a loss to explain reason why but i am also not too bothered why other clubs are not going for him because given his stats for last few season and fact he has 6 months left on his contract means the financial risk attached with him could not be lower. He already has 9 goals and 6 assists from midfield this season meaning he almost averaging a goal/assist every game. And as @DanFromDownSouth said. He is exactly the type of player our team currently lacks imo.

Sorry @Erimus74. Did not see your post. I dont think any are out of contract in jan but following 6 are out of contract come the summer. 

Shotton, Ayala, Friend, Howson Johnson, Rudy.

Suggestion is Clayton could be 7th one also out of contract but we might have an option to extend his. That option lies with us and not Clayton apparently.

Ayala was identified by Mowbray and the loan signing went through at the time of his sacking, he definitely wasn't a Venus signing. Karanka was in charge when we signed him permanently but he had nothing to do with us identifying Ayala initially.

Source? Surely we can’t afford his wages.

No source, just saw something saying he’s being called back to Chelsea. Would do a job for us as wing back or winger but yes I think you’re right about £ sadly. I know we’ve been in for him a couple of times in the past.

Ahh I see. He’d be a class signing if we could pull it off but can’t see it happening given the noise coming out of the club over the last 18 months or so.

If he was available for a Championship club, I would presume someone at the top end would want him.

      January transfer window 19/20 season

      By Ayresome7 · Posted

      Excited by Gibson and in particular Benkovic who is very highly rated by many in European football. The concern which has been raised by a few people in this thread is why invest significant money on these loan deals when this season in all likeliness will end up as a dead rubber season. I would much rather have Gibson, Benkovic and that caliber player next season if we are going to make a push for the playoffs.

      We won't be going up this season and we won't be going down. I just hope all these loans have a 12 month extension or automatic buy option, otherwise we are just throwing good money after bad.

      The problem I see is that we could still leave ourselves hanging if we want two and only sign one. It definitely feels like we could do with a couple of quality additions at the back. And if Gibson goes to the wire, we could leave ourselves in the lurch as our other targets, ones not just us are after, will move elsewhere. The lad from Leicester in particular seems like someone with a bright future and a decent career so far too, I'd be disappointed to see us miss out on signing him because we sign Simpson and we throw everything at getting Gibson and falter. I know some on here have switched off already for this season but I absolutely want to see us go for it so long as we can. I see very little point in switching off so long as we don't kill off our summer plans by doing so, let's finish as high as we possibly can and hey, even top 10 would be something after our start to this year. So yeah, I'm sceptical of Gibson signing without any cheap permanent by the end of it but by all means, get as much quality in as we can and give it a go.

      I am not saying this because it seems the Gibson deal might be drifting away from us but I am quite relaxed about the whole situation. i think the reason for that is we seem to be eyeing some decent alternatives in Benkovic and Simpson who both come with a lot of promise. For once we not put all our eggs in one basket. I know club are looking at two CBs but if we get 1 of the above 3 in I will be happy with that. if we dont get either of the 3 then I will start to worry. Oh and i still got hopes our beloved boro will make a out the blue type signing for the top end of the pitch. Ideally more Lee Tomlin out the blue and less Adlene Guidioura out the blue.
