Think buy back clauses should be banned. Gives too much power to the rich clubs. If a player is good enough then keep them and if you don't think they are then why should you later benefit when another club takes the time to develop them?

I think youth player loans need a shake up too.

Buy back clauses benefits everyone, clubs like PSV an benefit from talented players on a low price, the player gets to develop at a stable place and the selling club can buy the player back at a reasonable price. The big back clause doesn’t have to be activated in every case, there is usually some sort of expiry. Not sure why it is any worse than a loan.

Buy back clauses still give the smaller club profit when activated just not as much as buying outright and selling which they couldn't do in the first place otherwise they would have.

So it's better than loaning the player and more likely than buying them outright at a higher price.

It also clears the players wages off the clubs books for a year, every little helps in ballancing the books
