Sorry wrong Sterling will try againRaheem Sterland.
Have you been to Benidorm for an England shirt?
Any player worth his salt would do it themselves, but it’s their job, well paid and they’ll all live to that money. I’d go further and allow any player who has not been part of a first team squad in a season a free transfer, locking these mainly young players into 2,3,4 year contracts is nothing more than slavery.
I like this idea. You just know clubs would try to counter it by saying "Okay then, well now we've got an Under 19s squad and an Under 21s squad to go along with the 18s and 23s."Instead of limiting loans they should just limit the size of squads at every age group. In the NFL they have a maximum of 90 players at the start of training camp but this has to be cut down to 53 for the season. I know the sports work differently but I can't see why football teams can't do with 25 man first team squad then say 23 in each age group down. If they find a player they think is better then they can sign them but it means having to drop one already on the books, these can then be picked up by teams lower in the pyramid and actually have the chance to get close to the first team.

You can see the”B” team agenda being pushed again now.
It has already made a farce of the tin pot cup, let’s not do the same to our leagues
If they limit the number of players the likes of Chelsea can loan out, you would think it would dissuade players from joining them - i.e. nobody would get to hear of most of the players, lack of real game time etc. It may also push up the price of players they do sign, if they aren't spending as much of their budget on such a large squad.
The players won't be that bothered about being loaned out if they are getting 20k a week will they? Why would they pick going to a lower league club at 2k at the most over it?
The best way would be wage caps for youth players.
not necessarily, I think they would sit in lower leagues for longer. Chelsea rarely grow their own so if a player knows he isn't going to get full game time then they may opt for a chance at a lower league team to prove their worth. Chelsea are a classic example of where their youth players have gone on to better things i.e. De Bruyne, Lukaku etc..Yeah something needs to be done, however a restriction on loans would just mean they sit in the youth sides/u23s for longer.
I think if you are in those U23/youth squads then there should be a salary cap, coupled with the reduction in loan moves would make players go to lower league teams to get gametime and probably similar wages down the line.The players won't be that bothered about being loaned out if they are getting 20k a week will they?

Terry is the last one to establish himself as a regular, yep. There was a great show on R5 a few weeks back that had Josh McEachran as the studio guest and he was saying just that: it was his dream and belief that he could become the first Chelsea academy graduate to follow in Terry's footsteps. He made 17 total first team appearances in the 10-11 season, then Ancelotti got the sack and he came back for preseason training to be informed that he was "with the Loan Squad, you're training separately to the first team". He had to ask what that meant and was naturally informed that he wasn't being considered for the first team squad, that he was one of a bunch of players who were expected to be loaned out and that was that. The loan that did transpire, to Swansea, in his own words "killed him" as he couldn't get near the side, didn't want to be there, their manager didn't want him and his head dipped and he never rediscovered the form that had got him into the Chelsea team.Was trying to think of how many players at Chelsea in dthe last five years or so have graduated from Acadamy or u23s to first team aand stayed there can’t think of any Are we really having to go back as John Terry ?? that’s Uber 20 years ago must be others surely
Symptoms rather than causes. The various levels of football authorities are part of the cause, they've completely whored the game to corporate interests. This limit will do nothing to deal with the root of the problem.
This is without doubt the most stupid thing i've ever read on this website.locking these mainly young players into 2,3,4 year contracts is nothing more than slavery.
A bit of a cheap shot at women there NickI bet the blokes at the car wash would be turning their noses up at a few grand a week for a few hours football training and fingering as many women as they can. Torture.

The trouble is for emerging 'talent' is that if a club has paid millions for a player the board will almost demand that that player plays and some kid prospect won't get a look in unless they are a very special talent, again its money and the abundance of foreign players that are killing it for home grown talent !!!Terry is the last one to establish himself as a regular, yep.

I think salary caps SHOULD be enforced with no bonuses or other skulduggery to inflate their already gross wages, 50k maximum per week if the poor loves can't live on that maybe they should get a part time job to make ends meet...Enough is enough for these overpaid cheating wankers, bring the game back to the working man...rant over....beer time now anyone???
