Well of course, but then in reality it is a loan with benefits...

Depends what the buy-back price is.

True. My point is that it's vanishingly unlikely that he'll be at the level where City will want him back. If he is, then we'll likely as not be back in the top division off the back of it.

Or they buy back then only to sell at a higher cost. See Madrid and Morata for example 

[islander200]

The article only hints at a buy back clause hopefully if there is such a clause it's city having a first refusal rather than a set buy back fee.I think it's quite positive that they have put such clauses in his deal.He must be well thought of at City 

[Tom]

Probably just a first refusal clause in there in case he sets the world on fire

Id be a bit surprised if he starts the season in the team after Mowbray said Evans was our best player in the last month of the season.

[JacknOry]

Has already said he will have to fight for a place in the team, so yeah, guess he will be on bench first match.

Need to see how he gets on in pre season, hopefully he does well and catches Mogga's eye.

Evans shouldn't be an automatic starter, far from it in fact.

Well he was definitely top 3 or 4 anyway. I would say Raya, Mulgrew, Graham and Evans were the best players in the last month. Dack was playing on fumes.

He did and id probably agree with him.

I wouldn’t. I’d say he went from abysmal to just about acceptable for the final month of the season. 

[Tugay's Right Foot]

any updates on this fellow?

seems a long time to be out with a hip flexor issue.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

I've lost track now but has he actually played for us yet ?  Did he feature in any of the pre-season friendlies ?

I bet he's got a Sports Hernia

[K-Hod]

He's had absolutely zero game time of any sort since arriving here as far as I can recall.....

This was from a couple of weeks ago- https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2018/september/davenport-edging-closer-to-return/

He went off injured in the pre season match at Accrington at the end of July and hasn't played since. His parents were sat behind me at Accrington and I heard his mum saying he was holding his groin again just before he came off.

[Oldgregg86]

He played at Port Vale

Celtic ?

[davulsukur]

I thought i read in the LET maybe that he had suffered a set back on his injury so be sidelined for another couple of weeks.

Could be wrong on that though

That doesn't sound good. Groin injuries are bad news for sportsmen.

Well that's me told! :-) I'd forgotten about pre-season, I didn't manage to get to any matches unfortunately.

[Tugay's Right Foot]

ah..so it's the groin eh

when I was in the gym many moons ago, I had a hip flexor issue and it seemed minor as compared say to a hamstring injury.

now groin, that's a different matter altogether...?

we are ten games in. when do you reckon he will make his debut?
