Foogle 2,104 Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Interesting piece on Sky about Teenage striker Louie Barry and youth players running down their contracts and moving to big clubs outside of England: "Now, at 16, he’s decided his future lies away from the West Midlands - much to the frustration of Albion’s bosses, who are privately calling on UEFA to change the rules for young players. If, as looks likely, Barry moves abroad, West Brom will get less than £250k in compensation. If he moves to another English club, an independent tribunal would establish his market value, and Albion would stand to make much more money out of the deal." Foreign clubs don't have to pay compensation to the clubs based on a perceived market value. If UEFA were to change the rules it could help prevent most of the young talents accumulating at the top European clubs and reaching a bottleneck where they don't receive any first team football.

But how many british players actually move abroad? It's very few and the ones that do generally do well. Sancho and Dier to name two. I think British clubs should be very quite about this rule as the import of young players are much in favour of the British clubs as opposed to the export of young english players. I'd like to know how many young foreign players WBA have brought into their academy without paying compensation. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Prowler 197 Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Eric Dier didn't move abroad for football, he grew up in Portugal with his family from a very early age and came up through the youth ranks. Bit different. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I was waiting for him to leave. And despite their awful showing in PL last season they still have a very good team for this level. All depends on how Parker does because they certainly got the players. Though i guess people said same about as us when we came down and then Stoke last season and we know how both them predictions went.. Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,283 Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 I'd be surprised if anyone was willing to pay what they did for him and yet I also can't imagine he wants to be in the Championship. I'd say he's done well to get a new contract, he still had 4 years left on a deal he signed last summer when Fulham couldn't wait to spend money. Seems that latter part hasn't changed. I can't imagine why they'd be dealing with that right now, surely they were in a pretty strong position unless he had a relegation release clause. Link to post Share on other sites

BearSmog 1,382 Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Burnley sign Jay Rodriguez from WBA. Am I right in thinking that they have lost both him and Dwight Gayle from last seasons attack? Big loss! Will be interesting to see who they go for to replace them. Link to post Share on other sites
