    This season is too late, I think Wooten's return from injury has made it that Wright is irrelevant for the remaining season. Has failed to make the last 4 matchday squads. Has played what? 90 minutes in total since Dec???

    I meant this coming loan/season, not this one, but that was not at all clear.

    Haji is returning to Schalke....
    <From Kicker On-Line>
    [​IMG]
    Haji Wright wird den SV Sandhausen wieder verlassen und zunächst zu seinem Stammverein Schalke 04 zurückkehren. Der Angreifer war vom SVS in der soeben zu Ende gegangenen Saison ausgeliehen, eine weitere Zusammenarbeit wird es aber nicht geben, wie der sportlicher Leiter Otmar Schork am Dienstag bestätigte. Bei S04 steht Wright noch bis 2020 unter Vertrag.

    Haji Wright will leave SV Sandhausen and return to his home club Schalke 04. The attacker was loaned by the SVS in the just ended season, but there will be no further cooperation, as the sports director Otmar Schork confirmed on Tuesday. At S04 Wright is still under contract until 2020.

    he's likely going back on loan, which to be honest always seemed like the option for next season after this season. On top of that Schalke have just bought a striker that was tied in 2nd place for 2BL top scorer.

    Why not the Dutch league? Bundesliga 2 seems to be a pretty ruthless league in regards to developing foreign players.

    Dutch rules make him pretty expensive since he doesn't have an EU passport.

    For a dude that has now probably adjusted to life in Germany, switching to a completely different country seems pretty brutal. 2. Bundesliga seems fine to me if the team isn't Sandhausen.

    450k euros a year minimum for non-EU nationals, but he might escape that; IIRC players below 21 are not covered by that rule.

    can anyone give some insight on returning "early" from his loan? were shalke unhappy with his progression and/or playing time (or lack thereof)? were sandhausen? or was it some just a general "this isnt working great for anyone"? was it as simple as being a 1 1/2 or 2 season loan?

    thats all curiosity, but is this a pretty bad sign about his future at shalke?

    Not sure where "early" came from, because it's pretty routine for loans to be one season at a time. As for why his loan isn't going to be renewed, I think it's pretty obvious he wasn't playing nearly enough to make it worthwhile for Sandhausen or Haji's development. This wasn't a trial, loan with an option to buy type loan, since there was no option to buy, that I recall when it first happened. I think someone from Schalke's technical staff had just moved to Sandhausen, which was one reason they felt comfortable sending him there in the first place. Presumably, they could get an honest insider opinion of Haji's time there. Unfortunately, it didn't work out.

    the headline, or possibly tweet referring me to the short article i saw referred to his return to shalke as early so i guess that could be as good an answer as any...it wasnt "early"

    As @BostonRed pointed out, Eredivisie rules (450k Euros a season minimum salary) make non-EU foreigners very expensive unless they're very, very good. There may be some exemptions for under-age players, but that rule puts/would put an overall damper on moving non-EU players into Holland.

    And all leagues are pretty ruthless inn developing any and all players, domestic, foreign, foreigners that don't need visas, foerigners that do, etc. It's an up-or-out industry

    Correct me if I’m wrong but the non-EU minimum salary is lower for players 21 and under

    And

    If a club loans a non-EU player to an Eredivisie club, the parent club can subsidize the salary to reduce the burden on the Dutch club (I believe Agudelo’s salary at Utrecht was subsidized by Stoke)

    I believe you are correct.

    @feyenoordsoccerfan ?
     
  24. https://www.ed.nl/psv/gemiddeld-eredivisie-inkomen-voor-seizoen-2017-2018-278-500-euro~a0ef4eef/
    For the coming season 2018-2019 the minimum salary for 18-19 year olds is 208875 euro (roughly 235000 $). The day they turn 20 the salary jumps to 417750 euro (470000). Who doesnot want such a birthday present:)

    Subsidize in the sense they can pay the contracted salary up till the point of the minimum wage for the player. Otherwise the ruling can be dodged.
    So the club always has to pay at least the minimum wage.

    Is that the borrowing (i.e. Dutch club) has to pay the $470k with the parent club only able to start paying once the Dutch club has paid that amount?
