5 loan players. 1 out injured for the season, 3 missing large chunks of it through injury, while the 5th is recalled.0

That's exactly my take on it too.Raith_C_Chattonell said:Must admit I winced right at the end of Matt Southall's press conference.
Bowyer speaking of Gallagher said 'At the moment in an ideal world he would have a little rest, but we can't do that with him at the moment'. I just wished that that presser had ended a couple of minutes sooner.
I recall Klopp not allowing Gomez to go on loan after his injury. He was of the opinion that other clubs would over use him, possibly jeopardise Joe's career and get what they could out of him with scant regard for the player himself or Liverpool football club.
I'm gutted, and I don't like Chelsea generally, but something has spooked them about his situation in the last few weeks. If they send people to the training ground regularly to check on him, they will have known exactly what's going on. They didn't need to hear Bow's comments.
If he was your "asset" wouldn't you be worried too? Look at that the way Bonne's idiot agent reacted (giving away in the process that agents think players are their assets).2 -

I dont think Lee saw it coming before last week but the handshake with Conor in front of the covered end after the match on Saturday suggests that he knew. Of course they didn't want to say anything ahead of time but the timing of the announcement of the Madison talks (not yet a done deal) on Monday suggests that they wanted to get some good news out before we all discovered that Conor was back training with Chelsea today.
Very sorry to see him go and glad that we helped with his development but will be very annoyed with Chelsea if he is loaned to a champonship side and plays against us this season even more so if, as being rumoured, he will be loaned to the occupants of the former Bricklayers arms marshalling yard.1 -

At least when we sign Marcus Maddison we can sing the same song as Conor’s, just a simple name change.2

I'm fascinated by the Why in this whole thing, why have Chelsea done this and what's triggered this, other then a possible lump of cash from Swansea or West Brom12

At least we know we arent loaded then...... if so we would have matched Swansea's offer.1

Not necessarily.DamoNorthStand said:At least we know we arent loaded then...... if so we would have matched Swansea's offer.
Maybe they would prefer to spend any extra cash on a permanent signing and not a loanee.5 -
But the deal with paying his wages plus a big loan fee could easily come to £1M (guess).DamoNorthStand said:At least we know we arent loaded then...... if so we would have matched Swansea's offer.
We may have thought we'd rather buy our own player than spend £1M on someone else's.
If so that would make sense to me.5 -

I don’t think it is cash related. My guess is that they wanted him to play on an attacking creative side for his development - not a side fighting relegation where it is more about defense and scrapping attacking opportunities when possible due to the injury situationRothko said:I'm fascinated by the Why in this whole thing, why have Chelsea done this and what's triggered this, other then a possible lump of cash from Swansea or West Brom2 -
What the fck did they think he was going to be doing when he signed, playing tip a tap football at the top of the league.27

As disappointing as this news is, I've dished out more LOLs on this thread than any other.
Good to see some humour back on here.

That's mah boy!golfaddick said:As Golfie Jnr just said......you get resigned to losing your own players in January, but you'd think you'd be safe with loan players ffs...!!

Gutted, I’ve just had my barnet done like his!13

He was getting battered as other teams realised how good and influential he is. He is a very good player in the making and a shame he couldn’t stay to the end of this season. Anyway, thanks Conor for always giving 100% and I look forward to seeing your career flourish.See you in the Prem!5

Looked like it was a plea, trying to sell the idea to ChelseaCovered End said:
It's just my opinion I may be wrong.Valley11 said:
Bowyer: ‘I’m disappointed. I didn’t see this coming if I’m honest which makes it harder to take.’Covered End said:
I thought It was said a couple of times.Valley11 said:
Hmmm. I don’t remember anyone saying ‘we hadn’t had a phone call yet’?Covered End said:
Yes and we also said they can recall him in January but we hadn't had a phone call yet.Valley11 said:
Nope. Gallen said he’d read all the reports of a recall but Chelsea were happy.Covered End said:I don't know why some fans think Chelsea recalled Gallagher with no warning.
Ok they might have.
What is also possible is they told us a couple of weeks ago that it was being considered.
I definitely thought Bowyer and Gallen saying we hadn't had a recall call from them as yet, wasn't totally convincing.
It was always only a phone call away.As @WhenIwasLittleBoy says; could well be that Connor fancied a crack at the Premiership with Norwich/Burnley.We don’t know the full picture but something is off.
The possibility was definitely there, because we made a point of saying it on more than one occasion.
Bowyer said CG would be getting a well earned rest as players came back from injury, suggesting he was planning for Gallagher to be part of his plans.
Sage also made a similar comment as me and he's never/rarely wrong.
I put a link to the press conference on here at 2.27pm.
Like I said, what Bowyer and Gallen said and what they may have been told could be different.
Have a listen to it and see if you feel they came across as 100% confident & happy he was staying. 32m 30 secs.
I think they suspected the worse and were hoping for the best.1 -
Suspect it’s money, Swansea are probably paying a fee and all his wages; where we got him on the cheap. Money is an element, what the other bit is, I don’t knowBostonaddick said:
