Will the Ram Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Apparently FIFA have told clubs that they will have to dramatically cut the number of players that they send out on loan by 2020/21. The limit could be as low as 6. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/sport/cut-number-of-players-out-on-loan-premier-league-clubs-warned-tt6bc3wqn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Problem with this is more players will trickle down the league or out of football. Chelsea won’t hoovering up all the talent they can, and young players won’t stop being seduced by the blue lights and pay cheque. To be a footballer you have to have belief in yourself, I can understand these young players believing they will be that one to break through into the first team. Limiting players out on loan won’t work, maximum squad sizes/registered players on the books would. 20 U18s 20 U23s 25 First Team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therealhantsram Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I believe the likely outcome of this is that players will be sold, with a buy back clause in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FindernRam Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Today's "system" promotes very lazy scouting. Some child does a bit of trickery in a school game. Next thing a club signs him up. He spends several years at academies and U15, U16 U18 etc. His probability of making the big time is remote to the point of zero, but the club doesn't care. Maybe 1 in 1000 will be good enough to make the squad, but their main objective is that no-one else has him. The kid is a pawn to be discarded with all the other small fry. I'm also not convinced about academies. Most of today's really top players are not academy products and learnt their trade kicking balls in the backstreets or dirt fields. They have a gift.
