FIFA revamping loan system

Fri Nov 30, 2018 9:16 am

Apparently FIFA are looking to change the rules for loaning players out, setting the limit around 6 to 8 players at a time.

Bad news for clubs like Chelsea, they've got 39 out at the moment!

Surely worth us looking to snap up a player if they need to get rid?

I think this makes sense on the face of it.

Plenty of (common sense) benefits. Hopefully mean that they can't snap up all the talent and loan it out. Should cheapen transfer fees for young players out too in the immediate future. And hopefully stop silly wages for these 18 year olds too.

However, there will be plenty of opposition to it. And unfortunately it's the powerful clubs who abuse this system not the ones who would benefit from the rule changes.

Agree :thumbright:

It will also be good for a lot of players, too; although there will be some who will be gutted they could actually have to do some work to get their money... ;)

I hope it happens, hopefully it'll ease up the poaching of youth players big clubs do to smaller clubs
