Loans deals between clubs in the same division should be banned. End of discussion.
Why?

Well, they confer an unfair competitive advantage in most cases - players can't play against their parent club, but can play against all the other teams in the league.

Because I don't believe it is right. If you don't want the player, sell them. If no-one is willing to pay that much, drop the price. Why should one of your opponents get a player on the cheap, and probably not even pay their wages.
Loans should be to give young players experience, by playing at lower levels or to give clubs a short term solution to a big injury crisis. Not just because you have too many players.

It’s a tricky and it’s something I sort of agree with because of that exact reason you mention
It may also stop some clubs hoovering up young players

Please don’t ask to see my tatts 👍
That is a stonking signing and am gutted to see him go. £20 million quid. The Greek gangsta has struck again.

I’d imagine that (if it happens) it will include a buyback clause or heavy sell-on clause.

The Premier Sky League on TV is what it should be called.The Premier league launching its new season on a Friday night
Maybe am to old fashioned but it don’t seem right to me.
Not bothered about the fans.

Still a bargain he’s a very good player.

If said player scored in every game he wouldn’t score against his home club because he can’t play !
Not a level playing field.

Seems about right for him , he is a tidy player but lacks an end product at times
Will be a decent back up

Not sure that happens much in reality, or gets anywhere close to it! But I get the point you're making.

I haven't actually seen that much of him, but Nuno has good form at getting the best out of players who, for whatever reason, haven't been able to have a good crack of the whip at their last club. Cautiously optimistic if this one does happen.

Put it another way .Not sure that happens much in reality, or gets anywhere close to it! But I get the point you're making.
End of season his home team needs you to win and they get CL footy.
Said player gets a red card for professional foul bringing a striker down last man!
His home team including HIM get in the CL.
It’s to get over the financial rules as well hoovering up young players then selling them on.
Some would say that’s good business though

I see what you're saying. Are there any examples of such suspicious shenanigans happening....?

Wouldn’t have thought so.
It’s a made up scenario very unlikely to happen.
But strange things happen in footy.

It'll be interesting to see what the fan reaction will be like for this one. For many reasons:
- Villareal fans have one few home match they'll be able to go to
- Barcelona fans will have one less away match to go to
- Rivals of Barcelona in the league will have to play a full set of away games, which are more difficult. Barcelona will have one less, and their "home" opponent is not actually at home. Win that game and win the league by a point, Madrid fans may be furious. Especially if they lose away at Villareal
