Why would albion be interested in rushing that sort of deal through 7 weeks before the window shuts, unless the 'buy' part was 100% signed for and committed ?
But why are BHAFC letting him out on loan, and not holding out for a sale ? There is still 7 weeks to go until transfer deadline day. No need to rush a loan through just yet.
Twitter posts now saying it'll be a loan deal ???
If so, it surely means JFC must be signing a contract extension ? Otherwise he's out of contract and available "on a free" when the loan expires.
