I think it makes sense to start doing thisNot so sure that's the main reason. The new cap won't apply to U21 players, which all the ones the club has recently sold are, so they could still be loaned.
It looks more like the club have changed their strategy and are going for a straight sale with a buy-back rather than a loan. The benefits have already been highlighted by a few, seems to be a good shift.
Playing 3 at the back is feasible & we are likely to play 60 odd games so how do you know hes not going to pick up injuries as he is getting older. I know the one v Real was a twisted ankle but a major hamstring tear would be huge. The problem would be the big games. Also been stated that he wants to finish his career at Sheffield utd
Not one bitIs anyone else getting a little concerned were selling practically most of our bench.
#ThisMeansMore. If City did sign Neymar would it benefit Liverpool Football Club?
I got itWhoosh.
Why would we ever buy Bellingham only to loan him back?I haven't read the last 20 or 30 pages.
To me, the sales today mean one or two things.
1. Have we sailed too close in the FFP wind buying Grealish, Alvarez, Haaland Phillips, and a bollock has been dropped?
2. (More likely) We're going after the Iron in the Fire that @tolmie's hairdoo mentioned and we're giving up some talent to get funds for negotiating wriggle room?
Bellingham being bought this summer, and loaned back to Dortmund for the season???
Ederson - Ortega - Carson
Walker - Cancelo
Dias - Laporte
Stones - Ake
Cucurella - Zinchenko
Rodri - Phillips
KDB - McAtee
Silva - Gundogan
Mahrez - Palmer
Foden - Grealish
Haaland - Alvarez
Don't think it means any of them things, just think we've decided it's the best way forward for adademy product development, and generating general income.I haven't read the last 20 or 30 pages.

still got some loans coming back in, and Kayky, Bobb etcYeah sounds right. You are including Ake, Zinch and Bernardo who are supposedly rumoured to leave, but I think are going nowhere, so that could well end up being our squad.
Light in attack, and room for one more NHG or HG player, and I fully expect us to fill that with a winger. Regardless of Palmer and Mcatee's inclusion.
According to pol on the athletic podcast the haaland deal ate into a lot of our budget for the summer and as a result we will operate with a one in one out scenario.I haven't read the last 20 or 30 pages.

Dortmund only tend to allow one big name to go a season. Buying and loan back would maybe appease them for a year?Why would we ever buy Bellingham only to loan him back?
I can't help but feel its a little light but then I want Palmer and McAtee to be given their chance. Glad its Pep making these decisions and not me.Ederson - Ortega - Carson

We also are at the financial year end tomorrow so if deals need to happen to offset 21/22 costs then they need to complete by tomorrowI haven't read the last 20 or 30 pages.

I get the femling that the only you’re players we’re seeing realistic chansens of becoming first teamers are Mcatee and palmer (maybe Mbete).Not so sure that's the main reason. The new cap won't apply to U21 players, which all the ones the club has recently sold are, so they could still be loaned.

doesnt count for players under 21.There are new rules coming in this year about how many player's you can put out on loan.
Which is why we are selling with a buy back clause.
