It's really interesting how actually their loan system with 100 odd players out at a time, actually is a really good revenue source, even if they don't make it to the first team. Reminds me of our youth system in a way, and I think seems like something adi particularly is trying to replicate on a small scale

But that just shows why it shouldn't be allowed and caps on the squad numbers regardless of age are needed. It reduces competition and allows big clubs to make huge sums off players they know will never play for them. Standard of football would increase massively if these players were contracted first teamers rather than filling out U23's. They'd be more hunger if these youngsters had to fight their way up from the lower leagues rather than knowing they've got the security of a much bigger wage at a big club to basically be the office junior.

Agreed, was it the rule change permitting them to all Hoover up the talent roughly 100miles outside of their locale led to this?

Don't know, but I do seem to remember they did seem to relax the restrictions allowing clubs to look further afield. Obviously they'd argue all clubs could do the same but it clearly worked favourably for bigger clubs. If you're from, say, Oxford and a London club with a big name like Chelsea come calling offering better facilities which are you going to choose? Even at a young age the incentives offered to parents can make a big difference.

I seem to remember they also relaxed criteria to bring in foreign youngsters at one point as I can't see how the youngsters would have met the work permit criteria.

It's an injury isn't it.

It would likely only be for career threatening injuries?

Well it's serious enough to have an operation.

Time will tell, it has happened before, career threatening that is.
