What happened to the 'not loaning players to a direct rival' thing? Surely we haven't become complacent to the point that we don't think a club like Leicester fit that bracket?

Yes, good news. A great development loan for him with no purchase option for them. Shows that we want to retain him. He’ll get regular game time and assume the loan deal will mean that he won’t play against us.
Expect there is also a nice loan fee for us too.

Gonna look silly if we go down at the expense of Leicester
Will be bigger questions to answer than his loan if that happens……

thats one take ! the other one is that its come to something where we're loaning our young players to Leicester in the PL for game time. Blimey.

NNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
we will regret this big time.
At the very least, I would like a call back anytime clause, last season we needed him due to injuries, miles better than Jeremey Sarmiento

wont be so smart when he cries like a baby when its time to return and refuses to give his best if forced to.

Which would have almost nothing to do with this loan. Pretty much the best set up possible, the weakest squad in league and gets to learn English since zero South Americans and play much more game time in the prem.

Or we think they're shit !
It must be one of those two
Disappointed by this, but I'll reserve judgement until he comes back next year, aged 20 with another year of regular Premier football.

Good move.
Despite the hype and flashes of brilliance he has flattered to deceive quite often. Would be interesting to see how he develops in the PL under Cooper but I honestly don't think we'll regret this decision.

That seems to be a problem we have, I suppose it depends on whether Leicester want to keep him. Sarmiento never whinged but did Ipswich actually want him?

Leicester almost certain to get a points deduction too.
Best that he stays in the Uk to assist his English language development.

If he can play every week and come back a better player, it's great news.
Players won't develop to their max. potential by sitting on our bench.

Me too, my big worry is that lately in the past few years players who seem to go out on loan from us, either don't make it or don't want to come back.

Not at all. We're looking after his development and protecting our investment. He needs to play regular football at a high level and we can't offer him that this year - given that we have an abundance of wingers and strong options in that no.10 slot.
its a remarkable sign of how we've progressed as a club. Its like Man City loaning James McAtee to Sheff Utd !
