That may be all well and good for some team that doesn't have the sort of and size of academy that we have but it would mean us having to fuck a load of youths off and cutting down on the numbers of kids we take in if we can't loan them out to get them seen by other clubs,agents etc. Cause we cant just keep them on the books and we cant put them all into the 1st team

We would have to let them all go on frees after awhile if they don't get loaned. Which we do often now

That isn't going to help the lads that go thru our system who do go on to become players with clubs at various levels.

I'm surprised we don't have more players like Boga that refuse to carry on with being loaned so out goes a lad who once was hyped to have a very promising career and goes off to the likes of Sassuolo

But then I look at it with someones eyes who don't like us I can see their point a bit

It may make us look seriously at just what career path we have for our kids with more potential instead of loaning them somewhere they will probably end up sitting on the bench there instead of our bench.

With 40 players out on loan we would need a bloody great big bench.
