It happens quite a lot in Italy too. I don't like how Udinese have a million players on their books, but I can accept it more since they're a provincial club trying to narrow the financial gap between them and the top.

The players aren't being shared out. One club stockpiles them, then lends them out for other clubs to build them up. Re-inforces the status quo, the only way other club is going to end up getting the player permanently is if they're not that good - otherwise they just go back a better player and recieving club is at square 1. The whole loaning system is fucked up - both the subsidised older players and the younger players being hoarded like stickers.

You know I support the loan system, man. We should use it more. No reason Shane has been here his whole career. I agree we should use it more, but that is scandalous. They buy somebody like Kevin de Bruyne for more than most clubs' transfer record, and then ship him off somewhere. I wouldn't be surprised if he plays less than 10 games for them.

Baba defending Chelski, who'd have thunk it.

Disgraceful. Miscounted, it's actually 26 (this includes likes of Essien/Benayoun too).

Interesting that Chelsea have 26 players out on loan. Guess they aren't too fond of the new reserve league.

Amazing what £80 million can do

Rangers getting beat

Reckon Hughes will get sacked soon like.

QPR are horseshit. Enjoy the Championship.

Yep, I'm always absolutely bricking it. Thankfully I know/come into contact with so few actual mackems it makes it bearable if we lose.

It's no surprise to see McClean's form hit the floor once he got that shiny new contract. He's set for life now after having fuck all.

NO's RTG lurkers

When was the last time Sessegnon played well or scored? Seems like he's been shite for ages now.

wat I'm no fan of him but I thought he played well. He always looks better when he's applying energy/graft around more skillful players.

Milner has been quality in that role today

Gards and Mig. Nice.

England international on

Not Boro legend Hamilton Ricard?

McClean is a poor man's Shane Ferguson
