Tommy.
Player Valuation: £30m
To add to this agreeable point:
"Found his level": when someone is clearly shining at that very level, thus, surely implying they're capable of playing beyond it?
Thelwell seems to be removing himself from the on the ground scout work, judging by recent appointments.
That being said if this loan move proves instrumental in Tom Cannon developing into a prem striker then its an odd stick to beat him with.

Preston fans think he's top quality, always a good sign
There are definitely two ways of looking at it. The first is we should have kept them. They are showing they are good enough, and maybe even too good for the championship.
The 2nd is that both needed game time in that league to prepare them. Cannon had 0 in his first 5 and now has 5 in 5. We used both loans well and may get 2 first team players out of it.
I have sympathy to both views. I'm not convinced Cannon would have been ready for Dyche, but then, who would have had him starting Gray as a 9?
…you’re missing a key factor, the striker status in our squad in January.
When Cannon was sent on loan in January, DCLs frailty was a given as was Maupay’s ineffectiveness. Basically, the squad didn’t have a striker, a situation further compounded by our failure to bring one in.
DCL unavailable, Maupay so ineffective we play wingers as central strikers ahead of him. We sell Gordon & send the only conventional central striker in the club on loan. It’s not hindsight, it’s negligence.
That's also a very fair point.
Even on the small bits I've seen of Cannon in our first team, he looks a more natural goalscorer than Maupay has.

Just get him back and get him in the team ffs. What’s Dinosaur Dyche smoking? 
If he’d stayed at Everton it’s very likely he wouldn’t have developed so confidently playing against world class defenders, in a poor team, under pressure from Evertonians.
Such experiences can set back a player through confidence alone. He’s out and scoring for Preston and coming along, it’s been a good decision to loam him out.

Has somebody hacked your account?
You are a grotesquely fat marshmallow with all the cognitive ability of a dying, festering sea cucumber.
You could have just said no.
possible flaw
Gordon couldn’t even get in the preston first team when he went on loan there
Cannon is a huge star in the making
