Said it before and needed a fire suit after it but if the loan move isn't here in the PL, then he's no history here. He was loaned last year but I never understood the merit of it when it's in a different country, culture, league and playing style. He'll play well, then come back to the polar opposite experience. He'll arrive at a club that would have changed again and potentially find the transition hard again, not to mention maybe more new signings to compete against not to mention the ones that were here before he left.....
Ok the Dutch lad is only at CP but he's at least he's still on the radar, playing against English teams under English conditions, and can still maintain contact with his team mates without having to jump on a plane.
Sad but his window of opportunity here has closed.
