Important we continue to show a pathway mind. Dibbling came back because he felt valued here and we must be mindful of a squad bloated with 'experienced depth' to the detriment of providing opportunities and what that means for young players. We are still somewhere yound players want to be but that cam change quickly and it does feel like we've lost quite a few good players I that 16-18 bracket over the last two or three seasons.
Feels like it’s another consequence of PSR to me. If you can develop and/or bring in youth players that look very promising for peanuts (in the grand scheme), and sell them on after a few successful loans then it’s a great way to worm around PSR. And obviously the big clubs can just pay them much higher wages than we can to persuade them to join. Not to mention the prestige of joining these clubs and the track record they have of ‘producing’ players that go on to have good careers. I might be wrong but feels like it’s happening more. The likes of Man City have excelled in it for years now. Low risk, high reward. Not much we can do about it really, and we are part of the food chain too after all.
Surely he’d pick the premier league option? This could just be a recycled rumour from last year because I remember the name
It’s not that it’s shut, it opened early. They opened it so that teams could prepare and strengthen for the club World Cup Last season it wouldn’t have been open yet. A PSR year runs to the end of June so most teams are already near their limit for PSR hence why it seems everyone is waiting for July 1st Also contract dates, most players contracts seem to run to the end of June , as a buying club 5 players at £50k a week and you’re £250k down when you don’t need to be I was hoping for some early Leeds activity but sadly or sensibly it seems like July 1st will be the magical date
I asked my Scottish co worker about Shankland and he said he makes Che Adams look like Haaland. So I think we should sign him
