Will transfer bans cover academy players… for example… city can offer any academy prospect at any level in this country a deal worth far more than their current club… look at they players they’ve produced without necessarily paying fees; Foden, Sancho, Palmer, Nmecha, Lavia, Olise, etc, etc… all multimillion pound assets when bought by other clubs.

Whats to say they get 3 year transfer ban… they’d still have 3 years of PL level talent coming through the ranks.
