the legal side is that a player cannot be transferred during the open season other than during a 'window' therefore no deal of any sort can be in place other than a loan with maybe first option to Ipswich. Surely, gentlemans agreement or not, if he is on loan then he is our player and we can recall him at any point, he is also our player so we can negotiate any fee we like for him n'est pas?

But on the other hand Jim Magilton was quoted on the Ipswich site as saying that if he had waited til January then he would have cost a lot more.

I have no doubt that come January 3rd we will all be on here moaning that the club have accepted an undisclosed fee for him.

Good luck Gary, I hope the Premiership and Welsh caps beckon for ya and that we have a huge sell-on clause attached.
