Fulham’s Dilemma: Should They Bring Back Jay Stansfield?

So, there’s this whole thing about Fulham wanting to bring back Jay Stansfield from Birmingham City, but Carlton Palmer, the EFL pundit, says they shouldn’t do it. Stansfield has been doing really well at Birmingham, scoring five goals in 12 games, and getting some good experience in the Championship. Even though Fulham is struggling to score, Palmer thinks it’s best for Stansfield to stay at Birmingham and keep improving. He said, “Fulham are on a disappointing run in the league at present. When that happens, there is always a conversation about players who have been sold or loaned out. The conversation is about the young centre-forward, Jay Stansfield, who was loaned out to Birmingham, should Fulham have loaned him out in the first place, and should Fulham recall him now? Given his form at Birmingham, the simple answer is Fulham loaned him out to get valuable game time and experience, you want to see what is happening now, that he is flourishing and doing well at Birmingham. Had he stayed at Fulham, he would not be getting the minutes he needs to progress, so the right decision was to loan him out, and the right decision is not to recall him because he won’t play regularly at present. Leave him where he is and let him continue his progress.” So, it looks like Stansfield should stick around at Birmingham for now, and Fulham should focus on their other options. What do you think?
