About to rip up Grants season long loan deal with Luton.

Nottingham Forest have reportedly triggered the recall option in Jorge Grant’s loan deal at Luton Town.
The midfielder joined the Hatters for a season-long stint in the summer and has made 22 appearances for the League One club, scoring four goals.
But, according to Football Insider, the Reds have received a number of enquiries from other teams hoping to take Grant on loan – and they are set to “rip up” his contract with Luton, to send him elsewhere.
So activated the release clause?
I'll have a punt on they're selling him, but all perfectly above board.
Nothing to see here, move along.
Without wishing to defend those ****s, he’s not playing regularly. Fair enough imo.
I can see a difference with the Yates situation here, because the report talks of a "recall option". If Forest have been clever enough to include that in the loan deal, they are perfectly within their rights to terminate the original loan if a better offer comes along. The difference seems to be that we were apparently given a verbal assurance from them that we had Yates for the season, if that is true it shows that Forest are a club with no morals.
For what it's worth, I think Grant could be a useful League 1 squad member, but he'll never be a Championship regular.
You see this is what worries me with Hardy. Grant is not the sort of player we need right now and was badly found out after Yates left in the second half of last season as the goals and performances dried up. Yet Hardy seems to still probably ( if he could) have been interested in taking him back if he was available ( which he wouldn't be to Notts).
He clearly hasn't learnt!
Talk about looking for something to complain about...
Fan: Hey Alan, Lionel Messi has a release clause in his deal, are we signing him
Alan: Unfortunately not.
Fan: What an idiot he is, thinking it's unfortunate a decent player is out of our reach...
And Grant would walk into this side blindfolded, I'd say only Enzio is on his level, imagine having one of each on either wing!
As for them "ripping up" the deal... All long term loans have a recall clause in them that clubs can activate in the transfer windows unless they state otherwise, having the recall clause is the "default" loan, if there isn't a recall clause it's usually because the club has paid a fee to get the player on loan.
Whether Forest were morally right or wrong to recall Yates is pretty irrelevant considering it was Yates that chose to play League One football and who can blame him?
