ALL THIS GET cards back nonsense , do you think he would come back on a 50% reduced wage, think he would rather get splinters in his *** . Hes probably getting paid twice as much at FGR than he was getting here .

 

[londonblue]

no you are right, he has been injured and obvs needs time to get fit, but bringing him on for 3 mins like we did Saturday wont help him.

...Other than from psychological perspective...

 

[Southend Elvis]

No he couldn’t.

There was a one week window for Luton to recall him. As of Monday, all parties agreed for him to stay for the season and then discuss come the summer.

Absolutely rubbish, if Luton had all their strikers got injured or ill of course he would have gone back, do you write the contracts? No football club would be that stupid

Comes across as rude and ...... did you read and interpret BW's post properly?

Unfortunately when the same person keeps telling you that you don't know what you are talking about, you do get a bit spiky.

Never go back - it’s never the same second time round. Fans want players they have seen before because it’s all they know. Our recruitment team should have a wider knowledge of players that are out there - if they are doing their job.

Agreed and I’d hope we’re looking at all available options and that we have several targets (given all we were told about our amazing scouting network). But Cardwell only left a few months ago, not like it’s asking for Kelman to return. It won’t happen but Christ I’d take him over Bonne right now, just for a few months, if some loan back deal could be agreed (which I highly doubt).

I think you’ll find it’s common practice in most “long term” loan deals…..

But hey, it’s absolutely rubbish after all, no football club would be that stupid.

If you lend someone something it's still yours, Luton paid good money for him and probably pay nearly all his wages, most probably in the thousands a week. I cannot see how any club would sign away any rights they have just to help out the club they are doing a favour for.
It doesn't make sense, that's why you shouldn't rely on something that you don't own?
If Bim would have scored 20+ goals and Luton were struggling to score, no club would sign such deal that they couldn't recall any time.

 

[kentblues]

21 games and counting - never seen a striker look less like scoring in any season in 30 + years

Or put another way in the league for example 7 starts 12 sub appearances 900 minutes = equivalent 10 games.

I’m sure we would all hope the goals come as they have in the past including at Championship level.

Just to be clear, you have actually seen the contract between us and Luton?

Of course not, but has anyone on here seen it. But signing away your rights to something you own would be madness. He's a loan signing not a permanent deal

We all hope of course, but it won't happen.
People are talking about his goalscoring record like it is impressive - we are talking about a guy who hasn't had a consistently good season since 18/19.
However, he clearly has the capability to be a lot better than he is currently showing - I'll grant you he has also scored a handful of goals at Championship and League One level (most notably at Ipswich), but you just look at his movement, body language and positioning, and it just looks like it will never happen for him.

Players get recalled from loans all the time in football. It's normal, we've done it too.

Agreed. He is getting a decent opportunity maybe every 3 matches and hardly any half chances (all of which he fluffs). I know there is a lack of quality into him at times, but he is less likely than many other strikers to get “lucky” and one go in off his bum. I’m a firm believer that a huge amount of the time people make their own luck.

 

[Southend Elvis]

Unfortunately I don't think we are in any position to tell higher league clubs what we do with their players. Bim was signed when HC left, so we were quite keen to sign another striker, quickly.

Yet, they do, time after time. Luton signed that exact deal with Southend.

There used to be the “emergency” loan, which was in effect a short term loan similar to what we have for Golding. Long term loans as you suggest do tend to come with more assurance. Going up to the top flight teams often pay a fee for the loan which can run into several £m so clearly the loanee club needs more assurance than “we are bringing them back as we need to fill the bench in case we need to use all of our 37 available subs”
