From that season onwards it's expected that clubs will be limited to loaning out a maximum of 8 players at any given time, where as at present we have 14 players loaned out - Tyler Walker, Apostolos Vellios, Joe Worrall, Jordan Wright, Panagiotis Tachtsidis, Gboly Ariyibi, Jordan Smith, Adam Crookes, Jorge Grant, Alex Iacovitti, Zach Clough, Jason Cummings, Toby Edser & Virgil Gomis.
Last I heard the limit was potentially not going to be on home grown players sadly. Which would make the rule fairly pointless
It's crazy that we're having to use the words "expected" & "potentially" on something that has been agreed, & where therefore there should be definitive answers*, but I agree, if that is the way they've gone then that would dilute the new rules considerably.
*I guess they have to run it by lawyers & such first, to check they're not breaching some restriction of trade law, or something, before it's all fully published.
Information about it is fairly sparse but apparently it’s the premier league kicking up a fuss and saying no. Sounds like it’ll have little impact but maybe fifa will staying strong. They’d might dilute it a bit and say under 20 or something. Would still be better than now
