Patrick Bamford - should he get a chance?

He won't play a minute this season, especially when Gray comes back.  Dyche just not the type to have a go

 
We should not have loaned him to Burnley, after they hardly gave Chalobah a game.

 
Strange when according to the Lee Johnson we have a long list of clubs / people we won't loan to. 

Having said that, if he doesn't break into the side I think it becomes instructive about how good he actually is- this could be 3 unremarkable sides with unremarkable attacking options where he's failed to make an impact. 

 
Have to feel for the lad 'cos he had three great loan spells at MK Dons, Derby and Middlesbrough. But since trying to make that "step-up" to PL sides, for whatever reason, they just don't seem to fancy him.

Real shame and with Batman, Traore, Solanke and Abraham all ahead of him, he may as well try and make a permanent move to wherever he can.

 
If he's not getting games by the end of the month, recall him and find another club, no point wasting yet another year on a pointless loan spell.

 
I don't think you can recall players in non transfer window periods.

 
none are springing to my mind. maybe you're thinking of clubs sending players back for treatment when they are injured (which isn't really a termination of a loan) or maybe players have been recalled from the lower leagues when the premier league window is closed but the lower league window remains open (which obviously wouldn't apply in bamford's case)?

 
I wouldnt think you can recall players as the transfer windows are actually registration windows in reality, arent they? so if a loan player is registered on loan at a club can he be registered back at his parent club?

 
I had a look and it depends, I think, on the age of the player and whether the loan is classed as a short term or emergency loan or not. 

Arsenal took back coquelin outside of the usual window periods that season he broke into their first team but it was originally a short term loan. I don't think we can get Bamford back before January. 

In summary -  I'm still not 100% sure.

............yeah. thanks for that!

 
Look mate, if I can't be allowed to drone on about stuff no-one cares about for thousands of words at a time saying "on the one hand this, but on the other hand that" before concluding that I don't know, then I don't know what I have to offer this place.

Loan rules changed at the start of this season. No more emergency/short-term loans and players can only be loaned and recalled during a transfer window.

 
Had high hopes for Bamford, but Im starting to think he has David Nugent syndrome. Looks excellent at Championship level but for whatever reason, cannot cut it in the prem.

 
Perhaps Conte wants to take a closer look given he isn't playing much at Burnley and all the BS about Diego. Who knows he might still have a chance here.

Looks like it is indeed the Boro-thing. I would imagine he is miles away from our starting eleven.
