LFEE Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odear Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madrid were going to sign him before their transfer ban. Thought he'd go to a team in the Champions League Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 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.

Ketsbaia Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Maybe wait for Atletico, or replace Aubameyang at Dortmund. Perhaps a Man Utd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 pie in the sky mind Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ndegwa Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 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 Poor lad is having his career dictated by his agent.
