IF TRUE... Chelsea really do have no idea about football do they? are we just going to chuck an 18 year old kid straight in at a crucial time in the season, just because he's a Chelsea player? what on earth do they expect? not too bothered if he has gone back, obviously an intriguing talent but has shown very little for us except the promise of being the next jerome thomas.

Also would they want one of their future "stars" playing in our team at the moment, surely it would be detrimental to his development ;-)
Well, there is the aspect that Chelsea would want any comment on Sinclair to be dressed up to their advantage.
If Pards considers that Sinclair is no better than what he already has, then there would be no reason to hold on to him.
But Chelsea wouldn't want to see their young player exposed in the press as inadequate.
[cite]Posted By: AFKA Bartram[/cite]If he has gone back, then my guess is very much that he has been sent back, not called back.
Why? If you loan a player out it's so he can play, get games and so you can see how he's developing. He won't do that if the team isn't playing him. Plenty of other teams in this league will play him.
I wouldn't mind betting he moves to another championship side fairly soon.
Read something on Wyn Grant's blog yesterday saying that Sinclair was reported to be suffering from an "unusual problem" and so could not play at the moment...

a footballer with potential who is actually crap. Hardly unusual is it.

interestingly he is nowhere to be seen in either Chelsea's first team squad or reserve squad on their website even though all the other young players they have loaned out appear in the first team squad but it states where they are loaned out to. I smell a rat.
I wonder if Fulham are starting to feel the same way about Cook, he could easily be playing regularly for most other Chumpionship sides. To me he's one of the loan players that actually looks like he has something to offer, yet he doesn't even make the bench.

[cite]Posted By: KenTred[/cite]none of it smacks of a two year plan; more like a desperate to get a promotion bonus this year panic type of plan
Agree. A manager with a 'two year plan' of 'building a team' goes out and gets in a load of panic loans. This is why I, unlike many round here, am just not convinced by Pardew.
C_f_W - i think you'll find a lot of people on here "are not convinced" by Pards. I'm one of them.
I am however convinced that the people saying he should be sacked etc are being well over the top - thats where the difference in opinion on the board comes from.
We have to also remember than loan players can be a lottery - look at when brum went up, i think they had 6/7 players who were loan players. To be fair they played most games though!
Who else is there? Plus he has got West Ham out of the league and arguably made Reading into what they are today. If we are in the asme situation this time next year then maybe i'll be in the Pards Out camp.
You sound suprised about the desperation, personally i think it's fully justified. We're about to lose everything due to halfwits dreaming about the 'next level'. Remember those Billy big bolloxs' on here telling the Spurs fans we were a bigger club than them, we're going to be a laughing stock if we don't scrape our way back up.

You're only allowed 5 in the matchday squad aren't you?
Birmingham had Bendtner, Larsson and Muamba from the start of the season and they all played virtually every game and they then signed 2 of them. They used the loan system effectively. We have panicked.
If this is true its a farce. Surely its the sort of thing that is agreed before the loan deal is concluded. Be interesting to see what story/ies emerge.

can't say I'm bothered

why not ? I reckon he had a fight with Jerome as he tried to nick his bird.
