Bring him back in the summer and get him in the team. A great talent.

Do we just bring him back now? Hardly stacked in CM with all the injuries.

Yeah, he had good game, but he is poor/average for Leicester

They're top of the table with him playing regularly? How bad can he be?

That doesn’t mean he’s poor it means they have their own players that belong to them that would rather develop. He literally came in to the side at the weekend and had a goal and an assist hard a poor player.

I haven't been keeping up with him, so if you're watching him when he plays then fair enough. However, just reading stats like this is pointless. As another poster mentions, he is a loan player so he may not be getting starts due to the being a loan player. Santos had exactly the same problem at Notts Forest. 

Of course, he may not be good enough, but we need to look beyond his starts and have a bit of a break down of his game before that can be judged/inferred properly.

Not being given game time is not an indication of a poor player. If they play every week and suck then yeh , otherwise it’s just a lack of opportunity. Clubs will take advantage of us to get cheap depth.

santos probably has as many starts for Brazil first XI than Nottingham Forest

But also we have to look at why Santos and Casadei aren’t starting there.

There is obviously a reason beyond clubs using us to get “cheap depth”, its never as black and white as that, performance and level obviously has to be a factor at some point. And also a reason as to why theh were loaned in the first place.

He is a good prospect but was the same with Santos last year - we have to temper expectations. Even look at Colwill for Brighton strolling it last season as a left sided CB in a back 3 and 4 as well as at LB some weeks compared to here, he has looked suspect. 

Also we have too many young MFers in the squad as it is so inevitably some won’t make it here.

You can try to bend reality as much as you want, just watch him play and/or read Leicester fans opinion on him. One good game doesn't change the fact that so far he is nothing special for them

He’s had more than one good game for them but my expectations of him are tempered he is only 20 after all and it’s first professional men’s football season - however there is a player there whether you want to believe it or not.

I don't care what anyone says.. this lad is going to have a fantastic career. Something special about him. We must keep him with us, for me, he has to be considered for the main squad next season. We will regret it if we don't start using him. He has KDB vibes.

Recalled, Gallagher not seen in training so perhaps long injury?

A surprising decision if he's been called back for another reason. I'd imagine him or Santos will remain with the squad till the summer.

Edit: It looks like he's going to be part of the squad after all. Mixed feelings.

They really may be selling Conor in January - recalling him before the year is up when Leicester have injuries and players away at AFCON. Although I did see they are trying to bring in Sensi for their midfield. So maybe we saw his minutes were going to go down so decided to bring him back and loan him elsewhere. Also it seems Ugo injury is worse than they thought hence why we haven’t heard anything on a loan for Santos since his recall they both could end up staying with the squad.
