I think something will need to be done. I've got little faith in FIFA to stand up to it effectively though.

It’s all relative though I suppose.

Clubs less glamorous than us moan that we (and all pro youth clubs) hoover up too much young talent and then spit it back out to the lower league clubs when it suits us.

I think Chelsea had about 55 out on loan last season? That figure may have gone up by a few every time I’ve said that story but it’s certainly too many, something needs to be done about clubs from all levels signing too many youngsters for fear of missing out on that special one.

Probably for a different discussion though to be fair.

I see Arsenal have bid 40m for Zaha, other than not being convinced how good or consistent he actually is, looks like more of a PR exercise for their fans than anything else.

They’re skint, and lots of paper talk about Palace wanting £80m. Reckon it’s a bid to appease the Arsenal fans without ever having to actually buy him.

What is true is that the top leagues are getting a much larger relative and absolute share of the money nowadays, and it’s getting worse.

Zaha wants to go I think. I am not sure CP will hold out for £80m.

I doubt they’ll announce a figure or “hefty” but probably additional investment

Wonder what percentage St Mirren get of any external investment 🤔

Any names? I like the sound of hefty.

Surely with a hefty investment we can extend Whittaker’s contract further ?

We tried. He’s turned down our offer of a 3 year extension and is holding out for 5.
