But because of brexit there is not going to be many international transfers. Link to post Share on other sites

Did say Brexit also made it more difficult though - but presumably the recruitment team still thought the potential signing could get through the new rules or Warnock wouldn't have been thinking of going to see whoever it was..

Bloody foreigners coming over here making our league the best in the world with their world class managers and flair and turning our home grown talent into proper professionals 😡 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Ah - that wasn't quoted in the report I saw. That went on about the FA's agreement with the Home Office which is going to make it significantly more difficult for EFL sides to sign foreign players. Either way I think we can kiss goodbye to seeing many foreign transfers into the Championship for quite sometime. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,283 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 As it stands right now, that seems a definite. Things could change in the years to come as things get ironed out in terms of new immigration policies and however that works but certainly for now, bringing in players from the EU could be just about as difficult in terms of permits as players from outside of the EU. Given immigration was a big factor in determining the Brexit result, I can't imagine we're gonna see anything particularly lenient, especially for clubs in the Championship and below.

RiversideRed 1,216 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Warnock said he'd spoken to a player from abroad last week but he couldn't speak a lot of English. He also said he doesn't think it's fair to spend that sort of money on a player without seeing them play. Any ideas on who that could be? He said unlikely that we'll sign him because of the pandemic and getting out to the country to watch him. Link to post Share on other sites

RiseAgainst 3,793 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Apparently Adama Traore is ready to leave Wolves. Wonder if Steve Gibson would care to cash in a few share options and sell the Rolls to bring him home? (I know he's far too good for Boro now, but it'd be beyond brilliant to see Adama tearing the Championship a new one). Link to post Share on other sites
p_mards 1,365 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 I’ve just watched the video of Neil Warnock answering questions from Boro fans. He was once again singing Sean Morrison’s praises. He’s out of contract in the summer so I’m imagining we’re going to be desperate to sign him if Warnock is here next season. Another thing which stood out to me was Warnock saying that we’re very interested in two wingers who are available on free transfers in the summer also. One is obviously going to be Bolasie. I’m thinking the other one could be Adam Reach as he’d be a fantastic bit of business for us. Link to post Share on other sites

p_mards 1,365 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 (edited) Warnock’s son James just so happens to be Sean Morrison’s agent. That’ll surely boost our chances too: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/sport/do-not-question-my-agent-son-s-role-says-neil-warnock-v8wp63kgl The French scout who Warnock speaks really highly of is Laurent D'Jaffo incase anyone is curious.
