Squad for 2025-2026

[Sutekh]

I got his name The Bundesliga 2 player is Daniel Kyerewaa

This is done, except for visa and international clearance which can take up to 2 weeks apparently.

Then there’ll be the month or so waiting for FL approval.

How does the qualification for a work permit work these days ?
He doesn’t appear to have played any top level games or had any international call ups. What about him woukd make him eligible for a work permit ?

He has Ghanaian heritage so it’ll probably be that that gets him through

[WestYorksRoyal]

Clubs are allowed 3 players who would not ordinarily meet work permit criteria, it was how we signed Bindon. I presume it will be the same for this guy

Although Bindon was already a youth international and came from a higher rated club so may have qualified anyway ? He was also already resident in the country.
I’m just interested in how the process works !

Being from a third country which would also require a work permit ?

This article is a good explainer which gives Bindon a mention.

So, should the paperwork ever be approved by the authorities, we should see the following officially added to the squad rota for the forthcoming season…

Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan - AM (perm)
Daniel Kyerewaa - AM (perm)
Josh Bowler - AM (perm)
Kamari Doyle - AM (loan)

anyone noticing the position where the club think the squad might have a weakness?

Also Joe Morell - DM - remains on trial with the team so maybe a 5th signing there.

Has Amankwah been released? Guess we’ll know if Triallist A doesn’t appear later today.

Looking forward to Rob’s parachuting attempt.

Get these guys done and maybe get a second striker around deadline day and I think our squad is fine tbh.

[Linden Jones' Tash]

I think we still need a Marquee signing to wear our new uniforms...

Then all the sports fans will be psyched....

Go the Reading...

Seems like we may be planning to have a fairly fluid forward line with all that lot plus O'Mahoney.

Interview with JJ - 5:30-6:15ish he talks about potentially losing a player or two - I assume that's a reference to Knibbs?

[Pepe the Horseman]

So Ehibhatiomhan is clearly staying. What's the hold up on announcing his contract extension?

[Sutekh]

Apparently the club just haven’t printed out a contract and found him a pen yet

Of course they can’t probably do that until the FL say yes

Do you ever stop moaning?

[Sutekh]

Actually quite impressed with Ashqar Ahmed in the very few games seen this and last season, would suggest he’s possibly the best right back currently at the club.

Needs his own wiki page though, if anyone out there does that sort of thing and has some background on him.

Remember the bad old days during the January transfer window, when we were worried about losing a few key players from this list:
Smith, Bindon, Mbengue, Knibbs, Craig, Wing, Wareham, Savage, Campbell and WiFi?
Thankfully, those days are behind us with ambitious new owners and an experienced Co- CEO to take us forward.
