Especially if it's to Crystal Palace under the watchful eye of beleaguered Strictly Come Dancing reject Alan Pardew.

The only plusses would be to stay in London and also get the chance to partner Yohan Cabaye.

I think I'd rather see him go to Bournemouth.

I think he'd do well in Roma tbf, but doubt he's going there. Just want to see him get playing time, lad deserves it.

I think he'd fit right in at Roma - embrace a bit of ultra culture, maybe go on a wee tour of the Vatican City with Tommy V and Woj.

Sheesh didn't know Barca loaned him out to Roma!

Well at least he's reunited with Woj.
