What if the loanees go back this Jan?

It's been widely reported they have a recall option

Olsen - Return. Bid for another keeper on loan who is more reliable and adapted to the English game. Olsen is a liability. We do, however, need to 'bring Eastwood on' in terms of match capability at this level.

Davies - Unless there are other options, we are stuck with him because the alternatives aren't viable. He is still a 5/10 in all aspects to me and more Collins than Maguire in terms of value

Hourihane - Send him back. He's not suited to how we play and hides in matches. Basically Norwood in all but name.

MGW - Be fantastic if we kept him because he is the catalyst for anything positive in the way we play, and only because he tends to not play in the way we play. He attacks, runs at, comes in from wide, drifts past players, digs the ball out of an can ultimately hit the target. And he feeds Sharp or runs off the ball to drag openings for Sharp to do his job. Without him we are fucked this season and any progress we have made recently under Heckingbottom will be quickly negated if we lost him and started playing N'daiye or a busted flush such as Freeman in the AM role. It's all up to Wolves though, isn't it? Thing is, if he is recalled, where is the hole in their matchday squad needing him, with six months of Championship work under his belt? For them, he is better off staying and developing further and us paying his stamp and for us it is better him here because we need him, especially making waves in a midfield which should be built with Berge sat centrally behind N'daiye and MGW moving in from the channels and possibly Didsy and Billy up in front of them creating the openings and chances

I think the potential issue with MGW is the guy Huang. On one hand he just hobbled off so hopefully nothing serious. On the other there is talk that Liverpool could try to nip in there and Nick him. Also there is an article on the BBC lamenting how poor Traore has been.

But overall agree. We've been the perfect loan for him. Prominent and playing lots of minutes. He could well be playing 20nhere or there for Wolves and that isn't going to bring him on.

There's the worry of covid that PL teams.may bat on but maybe stockpile players to counteract. At 20!he wouldn't even take up part of the 25.
