Man City have trumped them though, 29 out on loan, even Man Utd have 14 and, perhaps, for the same reason. Buy ‘em, they’re not quite good enough for us so we’ll ship ‘em abroad just in case Southampton, Everton or Crystal Palace pick ‘em up and improve them.
Squads are of a limited number, why aren’t the total number of players limited? The improvement would filter down, some players seem to spend their careers on loan, never appearing for their parent club and only playing for a club that’s chosen for them. Wages bills would be considerably reduced.
