Can we have our Loaned players back now?

[TrianonDave]

Now that Bruce has gone, do you think we can have our loaned players back like Elphick, Green, Steer and dare i say it Ross Mac? Bet he will be determined to get into shape and offer the new gaffa a new Ross, a new lease of life at least, ask the question.

[samhubball]

Steer is better than any of our other keepers that's for sure!

[TrianonDave]

Steer and Elphick back for Millwall would be a good start. Bet old Ross is wetting himself? Im sure Dean Smith would give him a fresh start?

[bongosdad]

With Tammy and Kodjia up front we don't need Ross. We're really strong up front with many options so It's a pointless move bringing him back.
Elphick and Steer are a different matter though and I agree we should bring them back if it's possible. Is it possible though? Not sure of the rules regarding loan players. Good thinking Dave. I just wish we would pay the wage for Terry to return. Surely the salary is worth it considering we're desperate for a centre half and he would sort the leaky defence. No brainer so I'm not sure why the owners are being daft on the Terry issue.
We now have Chester on a ban, Jedi injured who isn't even a centre half and now we're really in the poo if we can't bring Terry Elphick and Steer back.
We don't even have a decent keeper!
This summer was great in a way bringing in Bolasie and Tammy but shocking at the back loosing Terry Elphick and Johnstone.

All I know is on fifa 18 you have to pay a fee/the contract of the loanees to get them back. Whether that's realistic or not.I don't know

By the way? Anyone fancy Benitez? His odds have shortened

[bongosdad]

The fat waiter. Hmmmm yes he's a good pick Sam and I would rather him to big Sam, pardew etc and the other dinosaurs.

I think its all a bit of conspiracy, bruce would have gone after the Millwall game even if we had won both and then we would have been asking why?
His technical team and scouts went 2 weekd ago, now he and All his staff have completely gone, this is unusual as many would have left the number 2 to carry on for a couple of games but now the wardrobe is bare and Mac is again steering the ship. I believe a Manager and his staff are all ready to come in once the dust has settled. Anyway who ever comes in has to sort thst defence out and quick. Right from the pre sesson Bruce has been messing about with the defence, its been a shamples. The best we can hope for is:
Hutton. Jedi. Tuanzebe. Taylor for Saturday.
Would look more solid if Elphick was in there with Tuanzebe and Jedi in his normal defensive midfield role.

I bet millwall fans are licking there lios in anticipation of our arrival at the Den.

Hope these are still the rules.


A season long loan player can be recalled by their parent club in the January transfer window but only if the 2 clubs have agreed a recall clause in advance.

Or

A loan deal can be cancelled anytime in the season as long as both of the clubs concerned agree.

[TrianonDave]

We also have Ritchie Delat, he can play CHalf?

[bongosdad]

Maybe recall Gabby to the squad on a pay as you play contract.
