ThunderPower_14 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 There really should be a limit as to how many players a team can have out on loan. Chelsea have more players loaned out than they do in their first team squad. It's not right. Just another enormous benefit to the rich teams.

Popular Post Ghost Posted August 20, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted August 20, 2015 Otamendi reminds me of a pokemon for some reason. I have always had the same thought regarding Skrtel, reminds me of Squirtle Turtle and I can't read his name without thinking it. It amuses me anyway I think this "Footballers who sound like Pokemon" thing has some legs. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can be solved easily - every player that isn't from your own academy who has been loaned out should count in the 25 man squad. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough titties. Offload them. If you can't then play them. If you don't want to then buy their contracts out. Either way you might think twice before you buy the next one.

I'd have to have a think about the workings of it, but certainly it sounds like it would be an elegant way to make a balls of Chelsea <- which is probably why it wouldn't happen. Y'see we're all assuming here that the FA/PL are interested in reducing the extent to which the rich clubs stockpile talent, but everything we're seeing suggests they're not only happy with it, but they're keen to incentivise it further. Grading the academies and allowing the plunder of 'lesser'(sic) academies only enables it further aswell. The system is rotten. Long live the system.

villa89 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I see City look set to sign De Bruyne and take their summer spending to over £150m. I guess this means that the FFP nonsense has been thrown out the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So basically don't buy any players in case they turn out to be bad because you will be stuck with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grading the academies and allowing the plunder of 'lesser'(sic) academies only enables it further aswell. The system is rotten. Long live the system. I'm trying to figure out whether, from a financial perspective, it's better to have a few super powerful teams and the rest of the league effectively meaningless, or whether it's better to have more strong teams. I'm assuming this is going to be basically based on non-UK markets, mainly Asia and the US. I know Australia isn't quite the same, but purely on empirical evidence, there seems to be a much greater general following of the Premier League now than there was before the Man City buy out broke up the old Sky 4 and opened up the trophy race a bit. Is bringing the rich clubs back to the pack likely to generate more or less money for the PL? I guess it's pretty important that England has a couple of teams that are genuinely competitive in the Champions League, which might make strengthening the top teams important.

rodders0223 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Burnley have bid £9m for that Gray chap that. Might have been an idea to spend £9m when they was in the PL. Clowns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwpzxjor1 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 They didn't have 9m when they were in the PL. They've got that from the money they earnt in the PL and parachute payments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
