Rusyn

My imagination didn't run to Windrush....was thinking more that the Ukrainians may prefer their 24 year old able bodied men to stay and sign up.

 

A fair enough point, but there has been an active transfer market for Ukrainian players during the Summer,

Some of these have been from Ukraine to European Clubs.
Yet we seem to be alone in having problems.

 

Fair enough mate,just seems to be taking a time,looking for possible reasons.

 

Am I the only one not bothered if it takes a few weeks?

 

Do you know we are the only ones having problems, as Rusyn is included on that list

 

It has already taken a few weeks

 

He's not yet match fit ...

... Mowbray's quite cool about it tbh.

 

I’m excited by this lad, looks hard as nails and looked sharp in the training video. Think he’ll hit the ground running

 

Yeah he said he needs to get up to speed and learn our tactics so the work permit is no issue because he wouldnt be involved yet anyway.

 

We've had the likes of Ballard, Ekwah and Ba who've taken time to settle in ...

... we now have Aouchiche who was superb at QPR and good again last night in the shor time he had.

This Ukrainian lad will play like a man possessed imo, from the start.

 

would be a good option on the bench though

 

Absolutely

 

I never understand foreign transfers. Can somebody explain how he is here, is training with the squad, but cant yet play a game?

 

You can vist France, for 90 days, but can't can't work there without a protracted pantomime of paperwork.

 

I would assume training counts as work though, and I would imagine we are paying him? Always thought it was odd this sort of thing.

 

I assume that, as well as a Visa, he will also require a Work Permit.

Co-incidentally, this is also issued by The Home Office, but I have no idea whether these are two different departments or if they talk to each other.

Not a clue if we are the only Club having a problem.
But ours is the only one I have heard about.
I'm open to hearing of others.
The fact that our signing was only just completed in time might have a bearing.

 

I've got no idea what the holdup is with Rusyn, something to do with work permits it seems but I don't really care.

All I know is that we don't need him urgently and I'm 100% sure that the club knows it's all finalised and there's nothing to worry about.

 

Agreed. We've won all 3 games since signing him. As with Pembele, it's a nice situation to be in where we don't have to rush these lads straight into the team

 

I expect that, as the entire club and squad are transformed, people who like to worry will have to find increasingly obscure subjects ...

... next will be concerns about subsidence underneath the SOL and all the empty Revels bags blowing around the pitch on match days.
...
