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.

Why on earth has he been recalled?

He wasn't being played  much at Burnley , probably going somewhere else or maybe third striker? 

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.

according to telegraph boro wants him back, might be the reason for the recall

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

I'll be glad if he's sent to Boro. I have no doubt Karanka would do a great job with him.

Costa is leaving so we need him.....according to the press. What utter BS. He is nowhere near ready to play. 

He'll go the way of that chav McEachran, only difference being he won't have played a first team game for us 

Patrick Bamford is undergoing a medical at Middlesbrough with a view to signing a four-and-a-half-year contract with the Premier League club after Chelsea accepted an initial offer of around £5m for the striker. The transfer fee for the 23-year-old could rise to as much as £10m depending on appearances and various clauses being triggered.

As I suspected, recalled because he wasn't playing at Burnley, as was the case at Palace and Norwich, plus 'Boro wanted him back; the fans loved him there too and he scored a lot of goals the year they failed to go up in the play-offs, £5m rising to £10m sounds about right.

Had hopes for him at Chelsea but unfortunately not to be.
