Fifa want to change loans rule

Post by Vegas Claret » Thu Jan 20, 2022 4:51 pm

FIFA announce new plans to limit clubs to just six loan exits each season

Football's world governing body effectively wants to stop clubs from stockpiling young players and then loaning them out.

The Premier League has a particular issue with it as Chelsea currently have 11 players listed as being loaned out, including England prospect Conor Gallagher who is at Crystal Palace.

Manchester City have nine listed as out on loan and clubs now have loan officers to oversee deals between clubs and FIFA wants to avoid them almost setting up secondary businesses or feeder clubs.

FIFA will implement the rules on an international level to crackdown on foreign deals but said: "At domestic level, FIFA’s member associations will be granted a period of three years to implement rules for a loan system that is in line with the principles established at international level."

They want to crack down on the number of players which can be loaned between particular clubs as often Prem clubs feed to particular clubs and set up agreements with foreign or domestic clubs.

The new rules are set to come in on July 1, 2022, if they get approval and there will be a transitional period to allow clubs to adjust to the guidelines.

But the maximum of six players loaned out will be implemented by 2024 and Premier League clubs will have to fall into line on an international and domestic level.

What a great idea, long overdue, should hit teams like Chelsea quite hard

This has happened precisely because of clubs like Chelsea having 40 odd players out on loan in a single season.
I think it was Tranmere one year who had 8 players in on loan, which is also an abuse of the system.

Clubs stockpiling players is bad for football and player growth/development.
Clubs have players sat in the U-23's who could probably do a job lower down the league's on permanent contracts, but they're clinging on to the hope they can show enough to break into the squad of clubs higher up the ladder.

Good

It isn't often I agree with FIFA, but this is long overdue

Wish they'd just leave the game alone and stop making changes all the time.

Doesn't count for under 21 players or players classed as club trained so already a loophole for the bigger clubs to exploit and in reality won't make much of a difference if any to clubs at the top. Clubs hit hardest by this will again be the clubs lower down.

Should just be a straight rule of X amount of loan players throughout the whole club allowed out at one time.
