The rumours are that we paid a £1m loan fee and I've never heard anything about a additional £1m fee (paid to whom, I don't know)if we stay up. I did read that we are paying for his accommodation at Canary Wharf, which is fair enough.

It hasn't worked out, yet.. but let's be honest, look at Bolaise, KG, Gayle and even Williams at the start of this season - he needs game time. It's a great learning curve though - hopefully he will learn to talk when spoken to and say what is required - he often spook highly of himself and told the 'lads he expects to be booed at swansea' no sht sherlock. He will hopefully learn to bulk up, earn his spot. Having said that, he will probably go abroad Maybe not for him, that he is NOT in the starting 11. However TP has him on the Bench. Its a team (squad) game. And since the January Transfer Window our team has improved. Give the lad a chance. Only been on the pitch 5 times FFS. I think the question being asked is - If he's this good, homes comes he's only as good as a seat on the bench? Sorry to butt in a again. We need a squad* of players to get us through to the end of the season, Ince is one of them.

Even if the additional £1m payment is wrong [sorry if so, I read that somewhere and accepted it as fact] paying a £1m premium for a loanee for only 14 games suggests that he should be of a standard to play all or the bulk of those 14 games - either starting or coming on as a scary impact sub. While I accept the need to rotate, that is not this manager's want. Had he been of the standard he was hyped up to be, he would have been one of those who play every week. He isn't; and hasn't been. He has not been signed as one for the future [see the post I responded to] as he is only a loanee for less than half a season. Thus, comments like "give him a chance" are ones we can apply to Gayle and Joniesta; not Ince. Thus, people have a right to be disappointed. However, if we took him on loan on the basis that he would either be sensational from day one or we would be better placed to pitch for him on a permanent deal while in situ, then the deal doesn't have the appearance of a flop.

I think that he might be better suited to next season when we can perhaps start off the season a bit more adventurous in style. Thing is, him being largely on the bench lately is doing us no harm whatsoever with our chances of signing him permanently. I would think other potential suitors are now looking and thinking he's not good enough to start for us and perhaps losing interest as a result. If we're selling this loan move to Ince in the right way (e.g. to acclimatize him), then hopefully he'll have that in mind if we do decide to make a move with a permanent switch in the summer. And as said by others, if that £1m has actually given us a chance to decide to miss out on an over-hyped player (if that what is deemed the case by the management come season end) then surely that is better than paying £10m-odd for a flop?

Is it just a coincidence that Puncheon's form and effort has picked up massively since Ince's arrival? With the goals he's scoring at the moment that would be worth the money even if Ince doesn't play for us again.
