I think the potential benefit of a pay rise from Leeds promotion works both ways - they'll have a player they still don't want, suddenly earning more. It makes their need to move him on even greater.I think wages are the big issue here, not the fee. This is always mentioned in the newspaper articles about him. If Leeds go up, then he presumably has a wage rise in his contract which changes things somewhat, and would mean another loan next season (to us or elsewhere).
I suspect that he will not be back.
I don't think wages will be a barrier, since he'll be attracting championship clubs with similar resources to us.
On the other hand I think there's little chance we'll see the £1.5m transfer fee as good value, not unless he has a Messi like end to the season.
