BackOfTheNet Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Is there a different process for footballers than the average Joe when it comes to the visa thing? I imagine things are expedited to an extent, but by how much? Harry Winks is off to Sampdoria and was granted a visa within a day it seems, according to Sky Sports News. Just curious as to how long we’ll have to wait for Kiomourtzoglou to be able to play for us. And IF we do sign anyone else that doesn’t hold a British passport in the last days of the window, then how long until they can play as well?

Any player coming to the UK needs to get a work permit so will have to follow home office procedure. Think there can be some speeding up from normal work permits but from the time it has taken for Hearts players it doesn't look great. But it seems to affect players at all levels. I saw Newcastle's new striker Isak still hadn't got his work permit despite him passing all the require points to get one without it going to a panel. The journalist who was said it, reckoned it could be because it was a bank holiday. Devlin seemed to take a whole month to get his work permit, there seemed to be that it was quickly granted but took forever to be physically provided. I remember at the time that he had to keep going to the British consulate but it was taking forever. Think Rowles was similar. I would hope it wouldn't take too long for Kio as he is coming from a European country, but you have thought the same with Australia.

Cut The Crap Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 1 hour ago, Newton51 said: Hearts are expected to be busy in the transfer market before the window closes on Thursday as they bid to replenish their squad following the injury news. "We've had a lot of dialogue over the last few weeks (about recruitment) but we spoke again yesterday and had a discussion about what we need to bring in," said Neilson. "The injuries mean we maybe have to be a bit more aggressive in the market but we want quality, not quantity. Can't help thinking he's sounding a wee bit hacked off at the lack of progress...

BackOfTheNet Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 I do wonder how things would have panned out signing wise if we made Europa League. I imagine it would give us more scope in terms of wages and fees. Maybe someone like Mighten would have chosen us over a League One side (if it was even his choice). Or would it be exactly the same now as if we qualified. Interesting, but we’ll never know I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamboross Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Don't believe a word that Twitter account posts but if we were in for Taylor I wouldn't be too disappointed. 8 goals in 32 games in the Championship last season between Nottingham Forest and Birmingham, should be capable of a better ratio up here, would need to be on no more than a 2 year deal though.

Cruyff Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 We're a bit desperado for a striker and they don't grow on trees. Lyle Taylor has a good scoring record. He's massively experienced, still quick, good attitude as he's captained sides. Aye, he'd do a job for us. Might even be a master stroke. I'd rather an experienced head to replace Boycie than some wee laddie from a reserve team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Italy always used to let footballers in comparatively easily (nothing to do with the president owning a football team). May still do. Spain did or does allow South Americans in more easily than uk (like uk did with us/Canada/oz.
