no permanent move surely the fact that West Ham have refused him permission to play in the FA cup and get cup tied looks like they plan on him going back soonish?
RE: no permanent move Given the fact that the admin of our club managed to play a player who had already played before in the same competition a few years previously..... I would say it means very little. Standard practice though it seems for most clubs loaning out players these days.....'just in case' etc
