It's just a glorified loan where the receiving club has skin in the game.

 

If you believe that loans are abused, that's a perfectly fine position to have, but buyback clauses aren't a different kind of evil than those.

 

Loans shouldn't be allowed IMO. There should be a maximum playing staff figure for each club that encompasses all age levels.

Well that makes sense, it would even things out even more so.

 

The Sky money now is giving small clubs the opportunity to really compete with the established top 6.

 

It's really not about how much is being spent now but more so how wisely it's being spent.

 

A limited number of players a club could have registered would be ideal. Say 22 players over the age of 23, then a limited youth set up, say 22 players between the ages of 18-23

 

No restriction on under 18's

Thought Lacazette would aim higher than Arsenal, like.

 

Out of curiosity where did you think he would go?

 

Well it looked like At. Madrid were going to sign him before their transfer ban. Thought he'd go to a team in the Champions League

There's a lot of CL teams which are still less attractive than Arsenal though tbh.

 

I'm critical of Wenger as a coach in 2017 but he's still attractive to new players, Ozil and Sanchez both said they signed because of him and I wouldn't be surprised if Lacazette did too.

How are young players supposed to improve without playing competitive games?

you'd have to build it into squad restrictions and that, guarantee 'x' u21 players get in the matchday squad or whatever

 

tbh it wouldn't be an entirely bad thing to force clubs to balance things a bit as they're never going to do it themselves, it's beyond a joke now

Maybe wait for Atletico, or replace Aubameyang at Dortmund. Perhaps a Man Utd.

 

Waiting for Atletico is fair enough, Dortmund are not better than Arsenal though and Man Utd while awash with endless cash haven't proven they are either.

 

I think your options given are exactly why he's chosen to join Arsenal.

Arsenal is a fantastic choice for him, he's guaranteed to play and considering France's phenomenal depth, that might come in useful considering this is the WC season.

 

If the Gunners sign a few more quality players, then they're well within a shout for the title this season considering he lack of CL footy...although I guess that would depend on how they handle the EL

We say this every season though :lol:

 

They're always a few signings away and they never make those signings, we'll see but I obviously doubt they will do enough.

They'd be forced to be playing for other teams spread across all the divisions rather than the Top 4 incubator we have now.

But what about if they come through the academy at a big club and that club doesn't want to let them go? Their career could be ruined by not playing. I think having an age restriction on loans would be better than just banning them altogether

Play them or sell them. If you want to keep say 4 promising youngsters you can. You just can't buy 4 expensive imports. You have to manage the squad properly. Not buy 60+ players and have them all out on loan.

Read something the other day that said Neves didn't get on with Nuno when he was Porto boss and now he's going to be his manager at Wolves too :lol:

 

Poor lad is having his career dictated by his agent.
