Ojo to Newcastle on loan hope he does well.

Reports say it is a loan with an option to buy though.
Happy with the former, depending on game time, but less so with the latter. I still think Ojo has the ability to force himself into the first 11 in two, three years, if given the chance. The boy has blistering pace, quality crossing ability and has simply struggled the find form due to a concerning back injury. Hopefully we don't give up on him, ala Ibe, and sell him.

Mango - i think the decision to sell Ibe has proven to be a good one thus far. I don't think we gave up on him at all.

Ibe showed much more than Ojo has done as well.
Mango- I wouldn't say he has blistering pace, he's certainly not slow but for a winger his pace doesn't stand out.
I hope he can force his way into the team and become a star but I reallly don't see it happening.

Whether one's opinion is that Ojo has a long term future at the club or not, a loan to another prem side where he has a good chance of playing is a good move for him at this stage in his development. At least we're not stifling his development.
{Ed002's Note - Newncastle are looking for a permanent move but a loan to buy may suit them and Liverpool.}

With a loan to buy, can the club reject the bid at the end of the loan spell if he shows rapid progression?
{Ed002's Note - It would not be a bid, it would be a fixed amount.}
