This may have been mentioned before and if so I apologise.

If you buy a player who is out on loan and then request to recall the player back, they seem to stay out on loan. It says I have asked to recall the player, but he still continues to play for his loaned team, despite me purchasing him.

This might be implemented on purpose, but I want said player in my squad now rather than having to wait until his loan expires.

When you request the player back the other team must agree to return the player. In case of CPU teams, they never do. In the past when you bought a loaned player he automatically returned from loan, but then we changed the system to make it better for the weaker teams who rely on the loaned players and were caught by surprise when the player returned before the loan end.

My intention was to prevent transfer listing a loaned player to prevent situations like this…and I might still do that.
