I see the Montenegrin player they signed is on the bench. He got his permit in just over a week, although he is an international player i believe. I wonder when KIOMOURTZOGLOU will get his?

Goodness knows, I hoped he would be available for today, not that I'm aware of the process, you would think it would be cleared for Thursday tho.

DC_92 Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 I posted this in the other thread, but I might as well put it here as well. Seems to be a total lottery. I've been looking at some of the other foreign players signed in the Premiership this season to gauge how long it might take between signing and permit arriving. Kyle Rowles 9/6 - 16/7 (37 days) Elie Youan: 25/6 - 27/7 (32 days) Bojan Miovski 28/6 - 22/7 (24 days) Marijan Cabraja 13/7 - 27/7 (14 days) Duk 15/7 - 18/7 (3 days) Aziz Behich 27/7 - 10/8 (14 days) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auldreekie1874 Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 (edited) The German midfielder is still awaiting a work permit to begin his career in Scotland but Hearts have ensured he is ready to play – both domestically and in continental competition – as soon as it arrives. “He is registered for Europe so we are just waiting for the documents to come through,” manager Robbie Neilson confirmed to the Evening News. “When the visa comes he is good to go but we don’t know if it will take another day or another month. He is fit because he has been playing and training with his other club, so he is ready to go.” https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/sport/football/hearts/orestis-kiomourtzoglou-registered-with-uefa-despite-uk-visa-issue-as-hearts-prepare-for-europa-conference-league-3830554 Edited September 4, 2022 by Auldreekie1874 [b] function didn't work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DETTY29 Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 (edited) 21 hours ago, Newton51 said: This is Brexit for you It's probably a combination of factors. Work visas based on required skills. The level you are at in that specific skill set. Brexit and no more freedom of movement (probably no. 1 in Kios case) A lack of civil servants to deal with paperwork (refers back to 1 and 3 and prioritisation). And then we get in to the real politika that a load of stuff getting delayed just now as a no functioning UK government and these pesky pain in the erchie Scots being at the bottom of the pile. But more a Shed discussion. Edited September 4, 2022 by DETTY29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willie wallace Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Sky Sports running a story regarding Wolves attempt to sign Diego Costa. He is a Spanish passport holder but due to his lack of playing time and the gap since he last played international football Wolves are going to have to appeal to a tribunal.
