It seems the youngsters are losing patience with Brahim Diaz moving to Real Madrid, while Bayern Munich increase their offer for CHO.

Isn’t there a restriction on the number of players a club can loan out next season? That could have a huge affect.
I would like to see quite strict rules on contract length for young players or length of time they can be unused after their 16th birthday. If someone has been at a club for X years and not played much then they should be able to leave mid contract on a free. Might stop clubs from hoarding
Liverpool have also just blooded 3 more youngsters in their FA Cup tie v Wolves, yet they still have players like Wilson and Woodburn who haven't been given a proper chance yet. I think Brooks had the right idea when Man City showed him the door. He dropped down a level and played his way back into the Premier League. I wonder where he would be now if he had stayed with them?
Sky did a piece on Wilson last weekend. Part of the argument was that he's already missed his chance & needs to move away from Liverpool permanently to progress. He's 22 in a few weeks time and one side of the debate was that if he hasn't broken into the Liverpool team yet, he's isn't going to, so needs to move.
I'd love to sign him. Allen & Wilson in midfield, more creative than Arter & Ralls. Transfermrkt valye him at £2.5M which seems ludicrous. Probably needs a 1 in front of that.
On the other hand, neither England or Wales have ever had the amount of top quality youngsters coming through the system as they have currently.
The big clubs use it as an additional source of revenue with the added outside chance of finding a gem to keep. But given that being good enough for the premier League and being good enough for Chelsea or man city are very different standards.
Brooks has done very well by dropping down to get game time, but would still be nowhere near the man city team if he went back there now.
