Simple £££££££££££££ if the man who played the rest can step into his boots.

I wasn't really commenting upon Surman's abilities, merely the fact that ANY uninjured player is a better option than the injured Sidwell.
But to answer your question: we would be able to recall Norwood if such a clause was included in the loan agreement with Fulham. I have no idea if that is the case.

I should coco
Colleague at work is a season ticket holder at Fulham . Norwood is apparently very frustrating, has a habit of disappearing during games. When he’s good he’s very good but ......
He's probably better than any of your midfielders.

He's been playing the safety-man role since we went up and basically recycles the ball, mostly very successfully, to our wingers, sometimes defenders.
I hope this is a wind-up rumour, as whilst Surman is getting on a bit, he's very fit and very reliable.

If there were a recall clause for Norwood, wouldn't we have used it by now ?

Not seen such Bravery!
Not if we are looking at bringing someone else in, and Norwood is the 10pm Jan 31st fallback option.

Stephens and Propper have both played every minute in the PL this season. We need more than Kayal for cover. Surman has been a regular for them for the past few seasons and for £4m I'd happily take him.

Only the club can answer that.
Fact is, Sidwell hasn't been involved all season (well, a couple of bench appearances in the first 3 games when Kayal was crocked). Unless I'm very much mistaken, I believe there was a sentence in the Argus the other day to the effect of the club not seeking a replacement in the squad for Sidwell. If that is true, maybe Hughton is happy going with the 3 central midfielders he has. Who knows?

Kayal is much better. I'd rather play Bruno in midfield and Schelotto at right back than waste £4m on Surman.

Good point.
But maybe we're looking for a real improvement midfielder, one who can run a match? In which case, Surman might be no more than a rumour, and Norwood someone who can be recalled if the bigger fish can't e landed?

Looking forward to Bmuff announcement that Surman has signed his new and improved contract offer with them (just like Grabban).

Whilst he hasn't retired he is as good as. Out injured for rest of season and given his age doubt he'll come back.

No. He said he'd be back.
