Same thing happened when hickey was called up. Unless his injury is worse than we thought and he wasn’t left out because a deal to Liverpool was already done. I’m just surprised he’s not in the under 21s squad He’s not in because he’s not played for weeks & is carrying an injury allegedly. Games are meaningless anyway so no point risking making it worse.

SupportmeansSUPPORT Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 The thing I struggle to understand about Liverpool's interest is they already have young Conor Bradley who is a tremendous young right back and the same age as Calvin. He is already an Northern Ireland international, player of the year in premier League 2 so basically rated one of the top talents amongst all the EPL clubs development teams, he is still contracted for another year and has already started for the Liverpool first team in about half a dozen games, and is someone who Klopp called a wonderful talent just a couple of months ago. Would Calvin be joining them as 3rd/4th choice right back behind TTA, Williams / Milner sometimes and Bradley? or are they planning to sell both Williams and Bradley? If we do make a deal with them hopefully we either get a loan back of Calvin for next season, or maybe they would be willing to loan us Bradley for the season as part of any deal. Link to comment

They’re basically speculating to accumulate. Good FB’s are a pretty rare breed & very sought after. They will likely assess them all. Keep best two & punt any spares for profit. Makes perfect sense for bigger sides that can afford to do so. Link to comment

As FND said the top clubs will just look to hoover up talent they can, with no garuntee they'll make it anywhere near the first team. They'll probably look to loan Bradley out and "develop" Ramsay for a few years then sell him on for a decent profit, like what they did with Danny Ward to an extent Link to comment

Liverpool have got more than 50 players in their under 23 squad. Chelsea have even more than that. These clubs can afford to stockpile young players. Keep them for a few years and they count as home grown. If they make it, brilliant. If not then they can sell enough on at a decent profit to make the whole u23 system sustainable. Link to comment

If those players were actually getting game time in a first team anywhere they would develop better. When you do see some of the EPL u23s going out on loan (e.g. Jenks, Longstaff, etc) it is obvious they've never played first team football. Most of them don't make it past the u23 level but still potentially leave the game with a tidy bank account, if they haven't blown it on cars, drugs and hookers. The big clubs make their money back through loan fees and sales of the decent players. Few make it to their first teams. If these clubs didn't stockpile these players then there would be a better chance of them making it at clubs further down the divisions, improving their chances and the fortunes of those clubs they play for. I've seen numerous claims that the problem is the number of players a team can loan in. If you flip that and limit the number of players a team can loan out, then it could prevent rich clubs from stockpiling talent which would then go on to develop at "smaller" clubs, improving the players chance of making it, their clubs' chance of making better money, and the quality on play on show at stadiums around the continent. 1 Link to comment

Aye, big clubs stockpiling talent just dilutes the quality at the next level of competition below. It's the modern football way, the rich get richer and the divide gets bigger every year Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Should definitely be a rule introduced to reduce the squad numbers that teams can have. Regardless of age. As soon as they are old enough to sign a pro contract. Fair enough teams having as many U16’s/18’s maybe but once they pass 18, clubs should be limited on numbers to prevent stock piling & stalling young players progress. Fact that bigger clubs can easily afford to pay players they don’t really need so much more than clubs like us means we are completely priced out of a better quality market & this is what is helping to reduce quality in so many ‘less attractive’ countries leagues. UEFA should be cracking down on it but they don’t give a shite as long as the ‘more attractive’ countries big leagues are kept happy. England, France,Germany, Spain, Italy & Portugal/Netherlands etc. Link to comment

fine-n-dandy Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 The new loan limit ‘rules’ to prevent ‘talent hoarding’ really are a complete load of BS as it does absolutely NOTHING to change things regarding U21’s (clubs will still be able to Hoover all them up & loan out as many as they want) they can also snap up all the young talent early enough such as Ramsay, keep them at club a wee while until they become ‘club trained’ then loan them out also without it counting as one of their ‘official’ loans Link to comment
