Like most rules this will have an impact on the players it wasn't intended to target.
Clubs won't give up on the profit making loans, or highly rated players with a chance of breaking through but the likes of Tosin, Barker, maybe Nmecha etc will see out their contracts playing in the U23s rather than getting experience of senior football.
We could maybe sell some (with or without buybacks) but that's not always an easy thing to do with kids. Lower league clubs don't want to commit limited resources to unproven players.
Sell them for £500k to a smaller club, paid in instalments. First payment is what their wages would cost for the year. Buy back clause of £500k minus what they've paid in the first instalment.
Small club gets a player for free for 1-2 years, our player gets experience.
