I can say it now, I'm relieved.

After what he did for us, along with Rodders, getting us in the play-offs because of his goals, he deserved the offer and to make whatever decision he wanted.

But he's never going to suit the IB style. For one thing, he won't be wanting to use his long throws. And for all the points he'll win for you at one end he will probably give back at the other. Also, there have to be questions over his durability after his serious injuries.

Very best of luck to him (who knows he might even be back) and thanks for such a valuable and very memorable loan spell.
