TOTTENHAM NEW LOAN PROPOSAL HAS TOP LEVEL BACKING
Tottenham have made excellent use of the loan market in recent years, with the likes of Kyle Walker, Stephen Caulker and Andros Townsend able to hone their games while enjoying productive spells at rival Premier League clubs.
But Spurs have also seen deals collapse because of the rule which limits top-flight clubs taking a maximum one player on loan from the same club during a season.
In a bid to prevent a repeat of the situation on deadline day in August 2012 in which Jermaine Jenas was forced to abandon his proposed flight to the north-east to join Sunderland after his then colleague Danny Rose had already completed a loan switch from White Hart Lane, Tottenham have proposed an amendment to Premier League rule V.75.
Spurs want clubs to be allowed to take two players on loan from the same club during a season provided the loans take place in different windows.
The Sweeper understands that the proposal had the support of the Premier League board of directors when it was put to them at their meeting in London on May 7.
It is believed that the board will not object to Spurs’ amendment if it is formally put forward by the London club, heralding an imminent change in the loan rules.
------------------
Not a radical change but you can see why the club is in favour of it, I think there should be a caveat that it is just for players under a certain age - say 21 - for development purposes rather than to get an unwanted player off the books.
