The new rule changes regarding loan signings are long overdue imo, and should improve the game no end and still potentially close up the gap that was way to big with money only keeping that gap as wide as it was imo.I don't have a problem with loan signings for a season, it's to be expected really recent times would indicate.
What I mean is that Souza ( were led to believe) and his agent dont rate the game here.
The money we have spent was there from the sales of edddy & ajer alone so idt we have spent as much as people may think imo.
Add to that the immediate sell out ( again ) of season tickets and we're in good financial shape with cl cash still to come.
Only players who want to be here has been the mantra since Ange arrived and it would seem this is not only a SMSM story that Souza doesnt rate the spfl , even though its rated above Belgium's where hes been playing.
I find it a strange one if we are trying to convince a player who has an agent telling him no not Scotland.
Apparently it will be city group fc who will have the final say.
Even ourselves are hoping to use the loan system to offload players more so than for a development cause this season, and we would still only be small scale compared to the big boys in the top 5 leagues within Europe.
With that in mind now many a club are going to have to suffer the bloody nose as clubs really don't want unhappy or disruptive players around the place, so using the loan system to offload them was to easy for them, not so easy now and way to many clubs have made huge mistakes in signings, only to become deadwood, and that includes us also.
So souza thinking he might have an option in a bigger league at present seems very limited at present imo.
Think that the Scottish league will actually grow myself with these new rules regarding loan deals as even though at present Scottish football is still regarded as a fairly lowball league, it still has plenty more to offer than many other leagues can at present or even in the future still.
When many of these agents start copping themselves on, then the Scottish league is hopefully going to be regarded as a decent career move with ourselves leading the way by a light year's still, and if souza can't see that if we are really interested then it would be his loss not ours
