i think loan fees should be banned though
im sure thered be loopholes and stuff around it
but the whole point of a loan is to give your player gametime and/or get his wages off the books
loaning to the highest bidder is rank

The rumour last Saturday suggested it was suspended for 2 years and the Club had been informed?
Makes no sense to me this length of appeal,utterly bizarre.
its a proper scummy thing thats slowly creeped in
prem teams asking for £1m+ for short loans for their young players
they should be wanting the best for them, playing as much as possible in mens football
but instead, they will leave them, stuck in limbo, sometimes not even going on loan stuck in u21 all season if the loan fees not met..
A loan should be for three months with an obligation to buy
If you don’t buy you don’t get another loan
It’s all a fiddle and keeps players held to big clubs
If they can’t loan loads out they wouldn’t be able to keep them all
I’ve been saying it for years
Actually, I think loan fees for options or obligations to buy make more sense. They’re like a down payment. But a loan fee for Barry is just daft. I think Sheffield United had to pay a seven-figure loan fee for Rak-Sakyi too. Neither deals had any options to buy as both clubs wanted to keep them long-term.
It's really when clubs are in competition for the signing that they can demand a fee. Loans do happen with no fee, just the club covering a proportion or all of the wages, primarily for the benefit of the player.
But I agree. The current system just allows bigger clubs to stockpile talent that have no genuine prospect or playing for their parent clubs and would otherwise be playing for clubs lower in the pyramid who would be able to benefit financially from them.
Chelsea’s ‘loan army’ that they’ve been operating for years just seems like a farce. Most of them aren’t even academy players loaned out for experience. They’re usually just players Chelsea have signed for eight-figure fees and loaned out indefinitely.
That’s all they’re doing now again too. They’re signing young players with no intention of ever playing them but they loan them out to top European sides instead and can still sell them for a profit. It’s ****ing mental, then you see the prize money they get from the club World Cup which they qualified for by winning the champions league in what 2021?!?
I can understand selling but feel he could have a great season if he stayed.
Me too. Plenty of promise in a poor team. Serg is getting a lot out of players previously written off, imagine what he’d have done with players who stood out for us last season!
How do we know that the Club hasn't already been told but the Club keeping quiet? 
The EFL would have updated their website if decision madeHow do we know that the Club hasn't already been told but the Club keeping quiet?
