According to Danny Kelly we don't have a break clause..... If we forced him back we'd both face legal action and blacken our name on the loan market...... And possibly even upset the player.

A very silly mistake not putting one in. I'm sure the player and Hamburg would have still agreed to the deal mate.
I dunno.... Putting myself in the shoes of the loaning club; I'd want the confidence that my squad wouldn't be upended on a whim mid-season.
To counteract that though, if they didn't play ball we loan him elsewhere.
Hamburg's first season back in the Bundesliga I think for some time. We held more cards than they did when agreeing the loan.
I don't know Hamburg's predicament - I was just talking about if I was loaning a player.

You’re kidding right?
The kid’s agent and family dictated the loan.
We do own the player right? Or does the kids agent and family own the player?
Newcastle owned Isak’s contract. Southampton owned Van Dijk’s. I could go on. Sought after players have the power.
I didn't realise Isak and Van Dijk were loaned to Liverpool.

Dude, these are examples of the concept of player power. I could bore you with several that don’t involve Liverpool but I’m not sure you’ll get the concept so, yeah, my bad, I’m really glad we didn’t loan him to Liverpool.
A short team, development loan for an 18 year old on a long term contract is a different ball game to a player forcing a move on a permanent basis.
Clearly we have a different opinion on things regarding this it seems.
Meanwhile over in the "Daily ITK Discussion" thread...........
I don't know how much it costs to run a server, but in all my years of joining various web forums I have never seen any let alone so many begging posts as i have from SC for financial assistance?
Perhaps "Rob" and "A&C" fancy the Seychelles for next Summer's holiday rather than Butlins.
Either way, how can so many gullible idiots send money to people they have never met? It boarders on the need for someone to report this website to the authorities?

From Google:
Key details regarding the move:
- Vuskovic's Choice: He explicitly wanted to join Hamburg due to his admiration for the club's history, fans, and the fact that his brother, Mario Vuskovic, previously played there.
- The Deal: Hamburg secured a straight, season-long loan for the 2025/26 season with no option or obligation to make the transfer permanent.
- Outcome: The move was finalized on August 29, 2025.
I don't really know what point you're trying to make here. I know he wanted the loan to Hamburg, if he was that bothered about playing for them why do we own him then? Why didn't he just sign for Hamburg before we picked him up?
And to play Devils advocate with the matter, he has another 5 years left on his deal with us... if he wants to be loaned out 5 more times each season to Hamburg does that mean we just do it?
With his quality and our needs, especially after finishing 17th last season and not having Dragusin fit, a loan with a recall clause this window was in the clubs best interests and should have been included.
It's a loan mate, not a permanent transfer. I can't remember seeing many players going on strike because of loan club choice but I do know many examples of players that did try to force a permanent move that didn't get their way.
Either way I've made my point, you've made yours. Opinions will be different let's just move on shall we? It's getting a bit late here in Zurich so not going to go into it more pal.

Can't agree with you PLMT. Let Vuskovic stay in Germany until seasons end. Good chance he's in the TOTS.
A whole season in Bundesliga will be good for his development, and as a result future THFC teams.

Haven't you heard? You can't buy good players in January
I wonder how many are fake donations, just like their fake itks.Meanwhile over in the "Daily ITK Discussion" thread...........

Deadline Day!
1 fit center back (and he's just returned from a year out)
1 fit full back (and he's just returned from injury)
0 fit wingers
- Only 1 squad places available in Champs League squad. (Gallagher and Dragusin will take 2 for sure. That leaves Bissouma and Tel in the cold)
- Spurs are at the MAXIMUM for non-homegrown players in Premier League (17)
- They can add 2 home grown players.
Options
- Drop an injured player from squad (Kulu, Madds, Benancur, Kudus)
- Sign players that are u21
- Sign home grown players
Impossible situation for the club. Nobody of any talent is going to sign for Spurs without assurances they will be in the Champions League squad. Due to injuries, Dragusin will have to go in. Tel and his agent have already been very vocal about wanting to be named in the squad, and Bissouma also seems a viable addition given the injury woes).
My 2c? No incomings today - there simply isn't the squad space.
