Watched him tonight against Everton and looks to have massive potential. Is it possible for him to be released from loan early as we could use him?
Never ;eard of a loan deal like this.
You buy a player but have to give him back straight away on loan?
I mean, just WHAT TF is THAT all about ey?

Only LFC.
happens more often then you think especially with young player that are playing at a smaller club.
lille wouldnt have agreed to sell him to us if w didnt agree to loaning him back
So, the logic behind that is that they don't want him....but they do?
Yea, all comin' together now, doh.
they wanted to keep him but knew they are not big enough to keep him (or the needed the money) so they sold him to us with the condition that we must loan him back for the season.
in must cases its younger (wizz kids/next missi,ronaldo,suarez,stam) player that get sold and then loaned back. this is good idea for both the clubs and the player. the player can get to play more games safe in the knowledge that he has already moved to a bigger club
