Any chance you guys could have bought him in august instead of the loan ?

I take the point hindsight is a wonderful talent at a football club .
Apparently we tried to buy him in August but Ipswich wanted to wait and see how he did with a run of games under his belt.....and it seems they were right to do so.
I'll be amazed if we sign him but I still hope we do.
