Is there a lack of info or is there something else going on. Scrolling down this article looks like other clubs are releasing loads and loads of I assume youth players whilst we only seem to be selling them. Or have they just missed loads of our players off

Might have to do with the rule change of number of loan players. Since July 2024 clubs are only allowed to have 6 players loaned in and 6 loaned out.
Last season it was 7 players. That's a big over supply on the market (maybe why market prizes aren't going through the roof).
U21 AND club-trained players are exempt but many players who were U21 last year are not anymore now and have to find a new club.
For City, I guess our loaned players last season were:
Cancelo, Coutu, Perrone, Phillips, Kaboré, Stevanovic.
Club trained - and exempt - are:
McAtee, Knight, Doyle, JWE, Robertson, Burns.
Kayky was U21 but isn't anymore. If Couto is indeed sold on a permanent to Dortmund,
Kayky could be loaned again.
Bottom line, many clubs have tricky situations and we are in a good situation to have many club trained players from our top academy.
