Ross McCrorie and Rob Dickie done, and now (if this is true) a deal agreed for Hayden Roberts from Brighton.

It is true whilst our club look to the foreign market completely oblivious to the new rules following Brexit.

Seems an oversight, FAW really should be lobbying to change that to include Welsh players

seems highly rated , where would that leave the likes of Eli King though?

Quite, King and Joe Colwill are two with real 1st team potential and yet we keep cramming our squad with average midfielders. I know nobody will take them but we could really do with getting rid of Sawyers and Rinhomota.

Taylor is actually quite good, but has suffered with injuries whilst at Burton; which is why they hadn't tied him down on a new contract

Only guesswork here but I think from now on it would be wise to factor in the new gaffers opinions.Doesn't strike me as the kind of guy that would sign anyone on the recommendation of others.

You are of course correct.
Not slightly pedantic.

Burton are desperate to keep him, Taylor's exactly the kind of signing we should be making

could be a very good signing - I certainly wouldn't be against it. you do wonder though that if Eli King was at Burton and Terry Taylor was in the U21s whether we'd be trying t sign king and ignoring Taylor

Taylor is under 23 so Burton would be owed compensation, no? Wouldn't the embargo stop such a deal?

good point, no idea if that counts as a fee or not.
as we are under the FAW it should count as an international transfer and no fee would apply ( yeah right)

He signed for Burton from Wolves (he was with their Academy) so I don’t think they’d be due compensation would they?

Tyler Roberts to Birmingham for £1.5m apparently

Just been trying to work out how these new FA rules on foreign players affect us. Bloody hell, it's complicated. The potential for mistakes seems high. Good job we're the sort of club that doesn't make mistakes...

Anyway, it looks like, in addition to foreign players who have enough points (accrued from appearances the previous season, based on how highly ranked the league they were playing in is), we can sign 2 players who don't have enough points. We can sign a further 2 without enough points if more than 35% of player minutes for us last season involved players qualified to play for England.

I reckon we hit the 35% mark (the definition would include players like McGuiness, who could still play for England even though he's played for Northern Ireland U21s, and Ng, who's dual-qualified but has never played for Singapore).

That would mean we can bring in at least 4 overseas players, or more if they have enough points.

I'm not sure; hopefully not. I'd like him to sign because of his 70s footballer name.

We got Callum Robinson for £250k more, Roberts has never been particularly impressive despite his undoubted talent

I haven't seen enough of him to make that judgement.

We have 5 defensive midfielders and two outstanding young u21 defensive midfielders. We desperately need at least one high quality defensive midfielder, not another run of the mill defensive midfielder; we have a surfeit of them already..

I hope Taylor is the former. I'm all for us signing high quality 22 year old welshmen in positions that we are weak

Newport's Cameron Norman, who we were linked with, has signed for Mk Don's.

Tyler Roberts signed for Birmingham - 4 year contract!

I was doing a similar exercise last night... I'm not sure if we even come under the FA requirements here being part of the Welsh FA? It would be strange for a Welsh club to have to have a certain % of English qualified players for any reason.

Regardless, it does seem like as long as they are frees our new manager can bring in at least 2 and up to 4 players from abroad who don't meet the criteria, which might be our best chance of getting somebody in as you assume anybody who meets the criteria for a top 50 national team or is playing regularly in one of the big 4 leagues probably isn't coming here on a free in the first place.
