Will the deal include an option for Boro to buy Zurab with a set price when the loan expires? And if so, any indication of what amount that price would be? Cheers

I can remember Steve Bruce saying something like; "Birmingham City has an option to extend Dunn's contract with 2 (or 3?) more seasons, but at very high wages". It sounds like he'd get an increase in his wages, and with him already being one of their top-earners - it doesn't seem very likely...
