That’s not how work permits work - they are retrospective. Where it might be an issue, I guess, is if for a future work permit we were using appearances as one of the things that gave ‘points’ - but there isn’t a rule within work permits that says once you have the guy you must play him.

GingerCollins29 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Fair enough if we are done, great window. I'm desperate to know the truth behind the rashica rumours though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People should be ecstatic not building up for disappointment because we don't sign ridiculous over hyped players I have not seen anyone building themselves up for disappointment in all fairness. We're speculating of how else we could improve the team and will we or won't we bring in another one more. I don't see why you're getting yourself worked up and all bent out of shape about a hypothetical situation!? 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, how anyone can assume we sell a striker and replace him with a central midfielder is quite baffling. Before Samatta was sold we were looking at needing a ST, AML and talking of trying to also strengthen in central midfield too. Now Samatta has gone we still need two players for the void of a striker and also an attacking midfielder - We're looking at someone who can play both those positions! I read it the same as @Okonokos I didn’t mean to imply @Okonokoswas being argumentative, I meant ‘no need to argue’ as in no need for me to keep posting “no I don’t think we will sign another” in response to him saying “I do think we will” - it was supposed to be friendly disagreement as we don’t know, we would both like another player, and the squad looks good either way!

PieFacE Posted October 1, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted October 1, 2020 Wouldn't surprise me if our spending was done now in all fairness. Could see us trying to loan a striker to provide additional cover until Wesley is back. No idea who though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilS Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 I can't complain if we are done with signings for this window, I think we have done very well with our purchases to date and they all look decent acquisitions to the team. The only way I see us buying anymore players in this window is if someone were to leave, most likely player to leave in my opinion is El Ghazi as I have seen him linked to Olympiakos.

It was for his original work permit after being denied for 2 yrs at man city..the FA rules are stringent towards international players especially to ones who have not been capped by their country. If you check the FA rules on this it works on a point system and having to be guaranteed a certain number of games in the incumbents new team is a pre requisit to getting a permit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Posted October 1, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted October 1, 2020 Im happy with our squad now too. Any more and we are in danger of trying to integrate too many once again. We have more than enough for this season goals right now. However more importantly we have leeway to spend again next summer, when hopefully we are more attractive to better players! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villarule123 Posted October 1, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted October 1, 2020 It's been a great window. Improved massively on 5 position out of the 11. With Ramsay breaking through and Grealish signing a new 5 year deal, McGinn back and Wes on the way, things are looking rosy! Next summer will be another big one because I think we'll have to replace Barkley & Luiz but you never know. We're in a great position right now.

That's fair enough pal and if the window slammed shut now we have a fantastic squad as it stands. Still 5 days to go yet though and still plenty of time if one or two more are to arrive...
