Ryan Bertrand to be recalled ?

[Franchise FC]

With Ashley Cole out for the rest of the season, does anyone know what the situation is regarding Bertrand and whether Chelsea can recall him ?

I believe they have Zhirkov.

There's no way Chelsea are going to go the rest of the season with only one left back. One mis-timed tackle, a red card and their PL ambitions go bye-bye.

On footy manager Paulo Ferreira can play LB and RB... surely he would be higher up the pecking order for left back than Bertrand?

[Armadillo Roadkill]

Can't be recalled from a season long loan?

Good call.

I think the bigger problem is for england fans if cashley cole aint fit enough will bridge and terry play ok together or will phil neville be playing

[Rax]

Can't be recalled from a season long loan?

Hopefully not - the lad is quality!

Maccy will do well to sign him... but I think he's a bit too good

They'll cross that Vanessa when they get to it - it'll be water under the Vanessa by the time they get to the World Cup

FFS!!!!! No one knows the rules on SEASON long loans!! How many threads have there been on whether Harper can come back does it need! Not ANY and i mean ANY players on a SEASON (the season) long loan be recalled. Even if the whole Chelsea squad were murdered.

Is that likely - is there a contract on them - was it Vanessa (she seems to have some sort of contract with most of them)

Oh, and by the way, pardon me for my ignorance - you patronising b@stard.

Thought it was a fair question myself - and to thoroughly pi$$on your fire, Harper can't come back as he has permanently signed for Sheffield United - so put THAT in yer pipe and shove it!

It may be just me but I think you have said there that all players on season long loans can be recalled.

It may just be your lack of familiarity with English though.

But it could also be that you're just proving your claim that no one actually knows the rules (even though I suspect Stranded or Platy will be able to quote them verbatim)

Sorry what? Vanessa? What's she got to do with anything?

I know Harper can't come back, there was no possible way back for him in September but for some reason many people thought we could recall him. You're not pissing on my fire, players on season long loans can never be recalled until the end of the loan. That was my point.

Sorry, couple of beers and my written word goes to pot. No player can be recalled during a season long loan, clear?

Indeed. It's always dodgy to lay down the law without taking care to express yourself clearly.....

LOL - fair play W&E for trying to clear things up, beers or no beers!!

Is Hunty playing?

It's all about age - there is a special category of season-long loan for playrs under a certain age (It think it's 23) - there is no recall clause in those.

Otherwsie, for any other (non-emergency) loans it's all about what is in that particlar loan agreement.
