Fourth_Official Fourth Official Steed Malbranque has retired less than a month after joining St Ettienne #SAFC Steed was the reason why we have Gelson Fernandes. Gelson's loan deal relied on Steed signing for St Ettienne. Hope they havn't got an option to recall him!!
Losing Fernandez would be a blow for our midfield but we may well concede less goals without him - He can be a bit reckless at times
His club dont want him thats why he was on loan last season to Cheivo. We have a view to a permanent move aswell so i doubt they have a recall clause
It depends on what type of loan it is. They want rid so there probaly wont be a recall clause but short term loans will have re call clause in them Basically its if the clubs want a recall clause in their
Yes but the whole deal (Fernandes to LCFC) revolved around whether or not Steed Malbranque would sign for St Ettienne. I think they must be short on centre midfielders.
Any way Steed Malbranque hasnt retired he is just considering it according to reports http://www.sunderlandecho.com/sport...ung-column/malbranque_to_quit_at_31_1_3723359
I thik we signed him on loan with a fee involved and an option to buy at he end of the loan period. If this is the case he cannot be recalled
