Time To Stop Teams In The Same League Loaning Players To Each Other?

As it happened it mattered not. But, for example, Piennars goal against us could have had huge financial ramifications if Everton had cost us the opportunity to go above Spurs.

 

Can't see how it is fair that players can go out on loan and effect the outcome of games that their 'home' club can directly benefit from. It might also stop the richer Clubs stockpiling players then dumping them on loan when they become surplus.

Completely with you on this. Don't even think this is debatable except for the dummies in the FA

Must have given Chelsea at least a 0.1 advantage that season, making every other team play against a Bolton side with a rampant Sturridge in it, except them lot who got to play against all the other no-marks in the side while their loanee had to sit in the stands.

The player's parent club always benefit in a small way just because the player can play against every other club but theirs. (Edit: as Bluestar's said)

 

This definitely needs looked at.  Adebayor on daft money at Man City, can't get near their side, goes to Spurs who only pay about half of his wages and he's an integral part of their push for a Champions League place, the whole thing's warped.  Bit galling as well actually since Spurs were a big rival of ours and probably couldn't have afforded a player of Adebayor's quality without Man City stockpiling top players.  Would they have dropped a handful more points without Adebayor to allow us to sneak into the Champions League?

Also, say it was the reverse. Say for example that a defeat for Everton, would have meant Pienaar's parent club qualified for CL football. If he were to be involved in conceding a goal, it would leave question marks over the player's integrity etc... Would Everton have benched him in that case to begin with?

 

It could get messy in theory.

I'm not sure why they brought this rule back in , in the first place. They took it away for a while, it just makes no sense unless you are one of the 4 or 5 clubs able to loan out your squad players to the others teams in the PL.

I honestly think it's kind of cheating in many ways. Where would Spuds have been this year without Adebayor's goals, they didn't even pay for his full wages, while he was playing for them.

The loan system is a complete sham iyam, I can live with it for developmental players under 21 as someone has suggested there but really would like to see the system abolished completely.

Spurs would have had to make do with what they had / buy an inferior player / took a risk with their debt or sell (potentially important) players to be able to afford to sign Adebayor or a similar quality player.  Any of these would have been of more benefit to us as their rivals, not that they've broken any rules but it's wrong and needs sorted out.  The Sturridge one's a good example as well, could be argued it gave Bolton an unfair advantage compared to other bottom half sides in addition to the points already mentioned.

I agree too, but then we'd never have experienced Giuseppe Rossi in a Newcastle shirt had it not been for the loan system.

 

Yeah, that one goal against Portsmouth in the cup would have been a big miss.

Absolutely agree, though think something needs to be done to bring down transfer fees in general, and the whole Man City having tons of players on teh books and never playing them with too high wages to sell...etc. Seems part and parcel of a big cleaning out of the transfer system and all the unintended quirks.
