Just spotted this on yesterday's Timesonline my be chuff about Billy rejecting a new contract?
"Dead certs Vincent Péricard had a medical at Swindon Town yesterday with a view to signing a long-term contract at the League One club. The former France Under-21 striker, who recently played for Carlisle United, arrives after Billy Paynter, the leading scorer, rejected a new contract at Swindon. Bristol Rovers, Charlton Athletic and Huddersfield Town have inquired about the 25-year-old, who will be a free agent in the summer."

Speculation probably. I have been wondering if Pericard was brought in as a long term replacement for Billy though.

Maybe true but nothing has been said about him even being offered a new contract let alone turning it down already.
I hope its rubbish. I really do...

If he was to leave, who do you think would take him on?

Bristol Rovers, Charlton Athletic and Huddersfield Town have inquired about the 25-year-old
Uh-oh - sounds true then! I'd be pissed off he he moved to Rovers, but Charlton is a step up and Huddersfield is at the other end of the country so I could understand those moves. It is possible that Wilson knew about this for a while hence first Revell now Perricard. It's also possible to be complete bollocks. |

Even if he has rejected a contract, it doesn't have to mean that he wants to leave. Could be that he just wants to negotiate a better one.

It's probably bollocks, Doubt he would go to Rovers but then again they do have a few bob from the Rickie Lambert sale, but I would ahve thought that would have gone to pay for losses due to their new stadium not being built. |

With a new striker on the books, there was always going to be rumours flying around. Huddersfield would be closer to 'home' for him mind.
Don't think he'll go anywhere and vince will be on the bench.

just because he hasn't signed a new contract doesn't mean he's leaving... he might be in throws of trying to negotiate another year or anything. Bit too early to be working out where he's going!

He had a few good games at the beginning of the season but quite a few bad games as well. He's been a totally different player since Austin came along, the same as he was playing alongside Cox last season. Without the right player alongside him he has been pretty average in my book so I won't lose too much sleep if he goes.
If he has turned down a new contract its a bit of a dangerous game to play. If he gets injured, suspended or is off form, Pericard will replace him and if he does well Paynter might find it hard getting a game. If that happens, come the end of the season he might find himself without a club.
