Sanguine Surely the solution on loan agreements is to ban a stipulation that a loan player always plays if fit, but at the same time given the loaning club power of recall if that player isn't involved (say) 50% of the time that he is.
Would the PL and the EFL be able to come to an agreement though? One would want their player to play all the time, whilst the other only wants him to play only when their own player(s) is not up to scratch, or injured. The recall may help to lessen that problem a bit. Their would have to be a set number of games to make it count, otherwise if a player if a does not start in the first two games the parent club could in theory recall the loaned player. Would the two parties, either the clubs or the PL/EFL be able to agree?
