Angelo

It’s just another Chelsea loophole.

Maybe a rule where you restrict the amount of U21 players you can sign (in a season), to stop the hoarding of all the young talent.

Then with the ones you do sign, they are only allowed to leave on loan after a certain amount of games / only in the following transfer window.

It would mean that players like Angelo might choose a club that they will actually play for.

With the Saudi’s? Could there be a UEFA rule where clubs are limited income by signings outside of areas where FFP exists e.g. SA.

With a further cap on how much the combined leagues can sell to a single club? That way at least, the SA teams will be fighting each other for signings, rather than bypassing FFP.

I don’t think there is any chance of stopping them, so why not stop it at the roots?

Are there rules prohibiting English clubs from fielding a second team in the pyramid? For instance, Villarreal's B team plays in the second level of Spain - they are not permitted by rule from being promoted but they have a full squad competing in the second level. If there was a rule that would require some amount of club time this could provide domestic options.

I don’t think it’s permitted, but if it was, it would probably just make things worse. Manchester City dominating all the leagues instead of just one.
