westy365owl Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Would the player not have to be of a decent standard or have played in UK for before to qualify for a work permit now ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much. Sydney van Hooijdonk would never qualify for a work permit to play in the UK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably turn out to be another wide player! Striker or another Keeper maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd still snap you hand off for 6th tbh. In think the signings have come in with pretty normal timing, to be fair. Players aren’t in a hurry to find new clubs, but are generally happy to wait for the best offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Crawshaw Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 I now count 22 players we have over the age of 20, that's the maximum allowed. So any more signings would have to be under 21, unless any of the current squad leave to free up a space. BPF Wildsmith Hunt J.

No nothing about him apart from being the son of Denis Bergkamp. Quick google he’s 22 and no longer at Watford so would presumably be a free transfer. Classed as an attacking midfielder so if it was him and the over 20 year old limit has been reached assume someone is off….maybe Alex Hunt out on loan?

Random Task Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 BPF/Wildsmith/Jackson Hunt/Palmer Iorfa/Dunkley Hutchinson/Gibson Johnson/Brown Adeniran/Luongo Bannan/Byers Corbeanu/Adedoyin Wing/Paterson/Dele-Bashiru Shodipo/Green Gregory/Kamberi/Windass Probably room for either a winger or a left back depending on where Moore sees Johnson spending most of his time. It’d be good to get Galvin, Dele-Bashiru, Alex Hunt, Brennan, Dawudo and Hagan out on loan if we can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still think we’ll see 1 or 2 senior pros leave. Paterson is one I expect to go. I could also see late interest in Palmer and Luongo. Luongo in particular if he’s on the bench again today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn’t seem like we’re desperate to get players off the wage bill. If we can replace them immediately with better then fair enough but we aren’t in a position where we can let players go without having replacements lined up. We’re going to need first team quality players on the bench over the the course of a 50+ game season, and 12 new signings is a lot already. We need a balance between known and unknown quantities in the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a balance between known and unknown quantities in the squad. We can’t keep adding to the wage bill without a bit of balance besides the 3 players I’ve mentioned are out of contract at the end of the season. We can’t keep losing players for nowt.
