If rumours are to believed we are considering a Chalaboa recall. Apparently there is a break clause in his loan deal.
I think he is a far better option than Disasi. Of course the headlines will be "Chelsea U turn. " I have no problems with the club/ manager changing its mind.
Depending on departures, I think there is a very good chance Santos will be recalled. He has apparently been very good so far this season.

I do hope we recall Chalobah. It would be an embarrassing climb down from a management team who didn't just loan him, but actively excluded a first-team player from training and pre-season, but the right decision nonetheless.
It's one thing to not have a problem with this, but another to not lay criticism at the club's door. It was abundantly clear in the summer that out of Disasi, Tosin, and Chalobah we let the best one leave. Much like most of our business this season, there was very little logic or value applied.

The best thing you can do if you make a mistake is admit it and then move on.
I wouldn’t be surprised if TC said he would prefer to stay at Palace.

Totally agree Bandy, we should never have let Chabs leave and it was very poor to ostracise him.
The question will be, does he want to come back knowing Maresca does not want him.

I’m hoping it’s all part of a cunning plan!

Or is off on a permanent basis?

We need a new CB. However, Chalobah is not the answer imho.

Is Trev better than Disasi? Yes. Does that mean that when you factor in everything else recalling him is the best plan? No.
Let Chalobah play football, trust in Achempong and tosin under Baduashile is back. Seems fine to me.
