We need wingers, hope Schwartz hits the ground running and another midfielder for the CM role because Gilbey just isn't cutting it.
When have we played with wingers successfully ever ?
Bulot/Eagles on left and Gudmonsson on right, with Watt and Vetokele up front was pretty good.
That season has a massive low mid season, with the sacking of Peeters and farcical introduction of Luzon, but looking back was easily the best Roland season, achieving a very comfortable mid table Championship finish, especially as Millwall got relegated as well!
is it possible that Schwartz is already at SL getting fit???
He was here last week so who knows.
Out of interest does anyone know the actual protocol of when a player can sign for us & be registered to play, seeing as the 1st is a Bank Holiday (and presuming the EFL are working) and the next day we play away at Hull. Usual protocol is that you have to be signed (registered) by noon the previous day to play in a match. Does that mean that Schwartz wont be able to play as he wont be registered on the 1st due to the EFL all recovering from NYE.......or is it just a matter of letting them know (fax/email/postcard) that he has signed. I'm assuming the former but if everything was in order what's stopping us sending everything to the EFL now & they rubbing stamping it so that it takes effect from the 1st. Or is that just too 21st Century for everyone.
I'm sure that we can sign him & send all documentation to the efl anytime, he just can't play until the window is open.
He won't be coming if these are the rules. He doesn't meet any criteria.
Unless he's already signed... Just cant announce it until January 1st
Also this probably helps: In summary, points are based on criteria such as: the quality of the league of the selling club; minutes played by the player; and the domestic league and continental cup progression of the club they played for at the end of last season.
On those criteria:
- Danish Superliga is the 14th ranked league in Europe as per UEFA rankings - Minutes played if including last season come to 2.672 - FC Midtjylland won the Danish League and got knocked straight out of the Europa League Qualifying stages
So probably stand a better chance of signing him than we would most players in Europe at the moment

Nothing to stop us announcing it now if it had happened, he just can't play. If we don't sign him pre 2021 I don't see us getting him going by the brexit rules.

If he's gone home then he'll struggle to get back to London at the moment...

14 in Europe doesn't seem high.
Last point probably right.
I am scarred by my football manager experience of these work permit rules, impossible to sign anyone in league one.
This will certainly have a massive impact on the quality of English football.
Especially as many European leagues will be on Christmas/winter breaks now anyway
