Exactly.
Barry, when Ings came here on loan, it was with an obligation to buy him after 12 months. We couldn’t change our minds about buying him and Liverpool couldn’t change theirs about selling him to us. It was a de facto purchase with a deferred payment date.

I am going to take the 5th if possible?
We’ll check with Senator McCarthy and get back to you.
Defo red in the bed me.
Bob McCarthy came through the Youth team. We didn’t get him on loan.
Anyone?
