Austin FC

@UncleTupelo1 You removed the loan from the short stint with Austin FC. As I have read the MLS rules if the player is signed with the MLSNextPro team as Noël is, when they are called to the first time it is a loan. They are allowed a limited number of short term loans per season. Unlike Europe where clubs own the player and move them between teams, I believe MLS treats their MLSNextPro teams a slightly separate entities and therefore call it a loan. Do you know of something else? Demt1298 (talk) 16:22, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

I'm not 100% sure there's any hard and fast rule in place for these loans, but I think given the teams are essentially the same entity and loans are fluid, it doesn't make sense to have a loan tab there. Clubs are allowed to loan the player in up to 4 times. If that's the case you'd need a new loan tab for each time they're loaned in, so you'd have...

| years4 = 2023

| clubs4 = → Austin FC (loan)

| caps4 = 1

| goals4 = 0

| years5 = 2023

| clubs5 = → Austin FC (loan)

| caps5 = 1

| goals5 = 0

| years6 = 2023

| clubs6 = → Austin FC (loan)

| caps6 = 1

| goals6 = 0

| years7 = 2023–

| clubs7 = → Austin FC (loan)

| caps7 = 1

| goals7 = 0

...which seems somewhat unwieldy. UncleTupelo1 (talk) 18:35, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
