That can be taken up in January if he is enjoying himself - and he is. [LNB]"He's happy at this club playing regular first-team football, which is the reason why the lad came here in the first place. [LNB]"You can see what a fantastic player he is when he starts matches consistently. Jamie has been excellent for us. [LNB]"He has been playing very, very well and obviously we would like to keep him until the end of the season.[LNB]"Perhaps there would be a chance of doing something permanent, we will have to wait and see."[LNB]Pompey take on Spurs at Fratton Park on Saturday, but O'Hara will not be permitted to play through the terms of his loan.[LNB]
