FIFA to introduce new loan regulations
Following the decision passed by the FIFA Football Stakeholders Committee last year, They will be submitted to the FIFA Council for approval at its next meeting with a view to their entering into force on 1 July 2022.
www.fifa.com
From 1 July 2022 to 30 June 2023, a club may have a maximum of eight professionals loaned out and eight loaned in at any given time during a season.
From 1 July 2023 to 30 June 2024, the same configuration applies but with a maximum of seven professionals.
From 1 July 2024, the same configuration will apply but limited to a maximum of six professionals.
Players aged 21 and younger and club-trained players will be exempt from these limitations.
At domestic level, FIFA’s member associations will be granted a period of three years to implement rules for a loan system that is in line with the principles established at international level.
It ain't easy to score goals and scoring goals for a crap team is even tougher.
I think we are dumping so many players between now and next season that if Troy is happy to be on the firm his CT status is extremely useful.
But I think he will look to be the main man at a better club than Excelsior.
Can anyone see anything in there about EPL loan rules?
An explanation of the new Loan rules.
www.football.london
In 2022, FIFA approved changes to the loan rules in order to limit such moves and prevent clubs from stockpiling talented players. The changes meant that in the 2022/23 season clubs would be limited to eight international loan signings in and eight loaned out from next season.
That number dropped this season to seven and from next season (2024/25) onwards it will be six. Homegrown players and those under the age of 21 will remain exempt from the regulations. Spurs only have four international loans out currently in the shape of Spence, Tanguy Ndombele, Eric Dier and Troy Parrott. Somewhat confusingly the Republic of Ireland international technically falls within UEFA's U21 list as he was born after January 1, 2002 but FIFA consider him as above the U21 bracket.
The new rules also introduced a minimum duration of a loan deal - between two transfer windows - and the maximum duration of one year, bringing to an end 18-month loan deals which Spurs have utilised in the past. A club may only have a maximum of three professionals loaned out to a single club and three loaned in from a single club.
There is currently no limit on domestic loans out, other than the number of players a Premier League club can bring in on loan from other Premier League sides, which is is four but no more than one from a single Premier League club. The Football League limit is five loan players in a matchday squad so for Spurs there are no restrictions on how many players they could send out domestically to various clubs other than if that club had already too many for those limits just mentioned.
FIFA announced back in 2022 that national associations would be given three years from July 1 that year "to implement, in agreement with domestic football stakeholders, rules on a domestic loan system which are in line with the principles of integrity of competitions, youth development, and the prevention of hoarding players. The limitation on the number of loans at national level may differ from the FIFA rules as long as it is consistent with these principles".
So for now with four international loans out of players over 21 and seven domestic loans out, Spurs are within the rules and have scope for further loan moves amid a frantic January of temporary transfers.

Five now with Perisic
The article initially said Parrott counted as u21 because of UEFA rules but I messaged him and he changed it
Nice one!
How many domestic senior loans are we allowed?
Currently Rodon and Reguillon.
Not strictly loans but a good read.

Sanchez dismay, Kane success but midfielder struggles following Tottenham exit
It's time to look at how the players who have left Tottenham Hotspur since the end of last season have got on since heading out of the exit doors
www.football.london
Until rules are brought in for domestic loans (expected sometime in next 18 months ish), I think the answer is 'unlimited domestic loans for over 21's'.
When the rules for domestic loans come in its expected to follow similar (but different in detail) rules to international rules.

and Santiago out on loan probably as well - more space for new u21 forwards this season and next - expect Moore, Ajayi (awarded a pro contract last week) and Irow to be amongst players playing in u21's in that time period.

Nine Spurs stars who could still leave on loan before the January window closes
It has been a busy month in the loan market for Tottenham Hotspur and there could yet be others joining them in temporarily heading out of the door
www.football.london
Keeley starts for Barnet
Craig starts for Doncaster
Tanganga starts for Millwall
Craig starts for Doncaster
Tanganga starts for Millwall
not a credible one
Rodon 14 Phillips 26
Might be worth keeping an eye on PAFC's Whittaker 10
Ouchy, wouchy!
Craig pulled off at HT with 3 other Donc players as they trailed 0-3.
Finished 1-5.
(Dier does 90 for BM win 3-2)
(Spence subbed off at HT. Genoa were losing 1-0 but won 2-1)
