Alex Crook saying loan, no option to buy.
Selling to a Championship club - even one with some parachute payments and money in the kitty from the sale of O'Shea - getting £5M would be VERY good business! £10M? Forget it!

Why? He only started 4 league games for them during his loan spell and now they are playing a division higher.

Thought he was a key performer for them but could be wrong.

Only played the equivalent of 7.1 full 90’s over the course of 5 starts and 15 sub appearances with 3 goals and 1 assist
and it was very publicly stated the reason for his loans last season was to play week in / week out football also to prove his fitness. Sadly didn’t happen at West Brom or Ipswich

If he was he’d have been starting every week. He was involved in a couple of late-late goals, but don’t think he was a major factor in their success last year.

That's good business IMO. He's not going to get game time with us but if Burnley can develop him further, he becomes a future replacement.
Like Buononotte and Barco. Plus ACD which I assume will go out on loan too.

They did ask about buying him so he couldn't have been all that shite.

How long is left on his contract? To be honest I'm a little surprised we're not selling.
I suppose if he had a good season but still can't get into our squad, he'll boost his value plenty. Or ideally he comes back ready for the first team.

But they loved him as an impact sub.
Exactly this - and I'm sure they'll have activated an option to extend his contract if necessary.
Burnley fans don't seem very impressed.

He is contracted until June 2027 (plus the club have the option of an extra year).
I’ve just got a feeling that the Big Six are going to be all over us next summer. I believe that the likes of Buonanotte, ACD, Sarmiento, O’Mahony and Barco could be vital as we look to replace huge money sales with existing loaned out talent.
Let's hope so. We won't sell everyone though.

They won't all be able to offer champions league football like us though
I think all the good players on loan hedge 2 possibilities.
First that players get bought for silly money.
Secondly that we'll need a bigger squad for Europe.
