It has crossed my mind as well that what if we do have him on loan, and if he does really well, wont it be hard for us saying goodbye to him when he goes back to his 'parent club' all over again.
So what are the chances of this being made permanant ? I just cant see it but I really rate the kid and it would be brilliant if we could agree to that.
And by the way I might have been a bit harsh on him last night when I suggested hes probably not given us a minutes thought since the play off final.

It never looked the greatest move when he joined the Hammers , he was and clearly still is well short of the ability to cut it at PL level .

He's still very raw in my opinion but having said that he would benefit greatly by stepping down a level to a smaller club such as ourselves who will put more effort and time into getting the best out of the ability he has .

These lads go to PL clubs but they seem in my opinion just a shirt number , they have so much money the effort and the time doesn't go into their development as much as it does here , sink or swim is the gist of it .

Confidence is huge and it can take a beating at PL clubs for young lads and they can easily feel undervalued .

We give them a chance and put the necessary in and try and get them improving , that's what we do .

The lad has got ability there's no doubt about that and if anyone can get him to perform and improve then it's us .
