Important words from @waelalqadi @Official_BRFC on why it’s in @premierleague interests to help @EFL clubs with a proper ‘New Deal’…”We at Bristol Rovers gave Jarell Quansah and Elliot Anderson men’s football and both now are established top-flight players, with their respective clubs (#LFC and #NUFC). Surely their combined market value one day will be much more than the extra amount the Premier League are haggling over?    “This season we took Harvey Vale on loan from #CFC and he has played the most amount of minutes than any Chelsea loanee so far this season, playing over 2,400 minutes for Bristol Rovers. We are developing Harvey and building up his physicality to a level where his body can withstand playing Saturday-Tuesday-Saturday fixtures at a consistent level and in a very competitive league, something which Under-21 football will never come close to providing.    “Each club in the EFL has many loanees playing, learning and developing before returning as assets to their parent clubs. Maybe…we should discuss future development fees for our loan players when they are eventually sold by their parent clubs? I’m sure Mr. Boehly at Chelsea will have plans to sell Harvey for £40m+ after we have developed his game for them! The Premier League need the EFL, and the quicker they realise (and pay for) the added value we provide to them the better. They need to act decisively and quickly before it becomes too late for some clubs.”
