We all know they're much bigger than us, but it's like an elephant and a flea.
I think it depends on the details of the loan agreement. If I remember correctly we made a loan where we couldn't recall the player for the season (Boruc I think, and we could've really used him because FF was out. It potentially cost us a top 4 place).
Because he plays for us, not Leicester. Ditto Austin, etc. If Gallagher does go on loan I hope there is a recall clause (if it's allowed) to provide cover if/when Gabbi and Austin are both out injured.
Problem is anything less than a 98% success record is below our high expectations: over the years Peach, MLT, Crouch, and SRL have set the bar very high.
I too can't always get to see the match live. They say that "full event replays of select matches, Premier League shows and more." This seems to indicate that not all matches will be available on delay. Not sure I want to pony up $50 if that's the case.
