Very much doubt there isn't one. Very much doubt we'll be planning on using it, but the idea we wouldn't have put one in just in case (just in case he wasn't getting any game time, or just in case we had a massive injury crisis, for example) seems unbelievable.
I don’t know for sure but ‘season-long loans’ often don’t - for example Ipswich recently confirmed there was no recall clause in Philip’s loan deal from City (question was asked when Rodri got injured). Even if there is a clause it would likely be very conditional.
Wouldn't the only situation be if someone wanted to buy the player that was on loan? The existing loan agreement couldn't override that, could it?
I wasn't talking about Manchester City. I've no idea (or care) what they do. We, on the other hand, cancelled 1/3 of our season long loans last January, which indicates we are well prepared to recall loans if and when we want/need to.
Even that doesn't mean there were recall clauses - often simply terminated mutually, but we're all guessing anyway
Though one suspects that even with Rodri out Pep has very little inclination to play Phillips so why would they have entertained a recall clause.
Glad to get rid. Probably an 'under no circumstances will we take him back' clause
I don't seriously believe PB and co. would leave so much to chance. Any, the Phillips loan is totally different; they won't recall him because they've loaned him to get him off the books. That's a different kettle of fish to loaning a youngster out to develop.
Funny to see Tobi Adebayo-Rowling in the screenshot you've chosen here. I went to school with him (Longhill), he was levels above anyone else and was briefly in the Albion's youth setup. Now seems to be doing really well for Rochdale in the National League and was a big fan and dressing room favourite over the last couple of years at Notts County, even whilst injured, for his off field antics - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/66291727
The problem that worries me is if like Undav and Stuttgart he becomes too attached to the Foxe`s and doesn`t want to return , unlikely but worryingly possible .
They won't be able to afford him
Undav was back in his home country, an integral part of Stuttgart's first team that had just finished 2nd in the Bundesliga, playing in the UCL, and he had just selected for Germany.
We also recalled Ayari, Peupion, Turns, Weir and Beadle from their season long loans (as well as Offiah due to his mystery illness).
I’d assume fees were not paid for any of those loans. I believe in all likelihood a fee has been paid for Buonanotte’s services.
Why do you think that? A loan suited both parties. Facu was going to struggle for game time with Rutter, Pedro, o’riley and Encisco vying for the same position. Getting him in a team where he was likely to play a lot suited them and us and it looks like a genius move. They are probably paying his wages and that was enough to encourage them to take and nurture him on our behalf
Be amazed if that happened. Could see Barco feeling that way, if he's enjoying life in La Liga, but, Leicester?
.....and?
