Or we could play 4-3-3
Armstrong - Dykes - Frey
Collectively known as "The Snow Plough"
 |
I'm now slightly concerned we might be pinning our hopes on a Right Said Fred tribute band! |  |

From a site called One Football - using Google translate:
Michi Frey wants to make a move to the English second division club Queens Park Rangers. He has already passed the medical test and is now waiting for the work permit.
Only when the English authorities give the green light can Frey make his desired move. Since January 1, 2021, professional footballers have been evaluated according to a complex points system that defines whether they are allowed to play on the island or not. According to “Blick”, Frey is now waiting for a positive result in order to receive a work permit. Since he is not a national player, this is much more difficult than, for example, with Zeki Amdouni last summer.
At Royal Antwerp, Frey was left out of the squad for this season. The Belgian first division team also hopes that the transfer will work.

Post Brexit, senior (over 21) players have to qualify for a Governing Body Endorsement (GBE) and obtain 15 qualifying points.
Players from top 5 European leagues will almost certainly reach 15 points.
Belgian League is not top 5.
Frey hasnt played for Antwerp this season, although he made 15 apps for Schalke, in the Bundesliga (top 5 league) last season.
AFAIK, he isnt a current Swiss international.
He may not have the necessary 15 points |  |

Surely they would have checked this out prior to getting him over but, then again, this is QPR we're talking about. | | | |

More importantly is that they don't sign him until they know if a permit will be issued. It may be that he is borderline & they need him here to rush a last minute signing over the line.
On the other hand, it might take longer than the closure of the transfer window for a decision to be made! | | | |

If the above article is correct, he's waiting for his work permit which would surely be granted only if he was awarded the 15 qualifying points. The club must be cognisant of this and would not offer a contract until all the ducks are in a row. | | | |

I thought there was a work-around.
Marti got a work permit.
Hopefully. | | | |

FA confirms new rules over overseas transfers
FA confirms new rules over overseas transfers

The Football Association (FA) has designed new Governing Body Endorsement (GBE) criteria for international player visas that will provide clubs with greater access to overseas talent.
The new solution, which has been approved by the Home Office in the UK, will allow clubs playing in the English league the ability to sign a number of players who do not meet the current points requirements, which is 15.
A maximum of four players who did not previously fit the criteria — based on factors like league ‘quality’ and domestic minutes — will be available to Premier League and Championship clubs, and two for League One and League Two teams.
Transfer blog — live updates
FA chief executive Mark Bullingham said: “As English football’s governing body, we oversee the whole football ecosystem, and we wanted to create a new model which would meet the different objectives of our football stakeholders.
“We worked closely with the clubs and the leagues, and have designed a progressive solution which will give clubs additional access to international talent and incentivise playing opportunities for English talent.”
The FA added that the Premier League and EFL had “committed” to work with them “on improving the pathway for talented English youngsters,” and that the outcomes of both the changes to the GBE system and improvements to the development pathway would be kept under review. The FA added that could mean increasing the number of places allowed per club should both be successful.
Following Britain’s departure from the European Union, the introduction of a Governing Body Endorsement (GBE) system in January 2021 heavily affected who could be recruited from outside the UK. Teams were no longer free to take talents from Europe under the age of 18 and a points calculation decided if a deal could proceed.
From the £1.9billion spent by Premier League clubs last summer, 62 per cent of the money ended up outside the English system and much of it would have been inflated by the restricted talent pool.
That was viewed by many as not only placing English sides at a disadvantage in the market but also potentially depriving the pyramid of money desperately needed.
Premier League clubs had indicated unanimous support for relaxing the rules and the subject was raised — but not voted on — at the meeting of representatives from all 20 top-flight sides on September 21 last year.
The new criteria is now effective with the opening of the summer transfer window. | | | |

Could maybe work a
Super Frey...song to the tune of Rick James' Super Freak.
He's a very naughty boy,
The kind that doesn't play at Antwerp
...I'll get my coat |
i would die happy if we had a regular terrace chant based on Rick James. |  |

I foresee it now
We sign Michi to much joy and celebration
Then on May 3rd the EFL notify us that we are being deducted 10 points for an illegal signing.
For us to be safe, we need to beat Coventry 6-0
We do it - And then the EFL tell us its actually 12 points and it was misread by management

And this season Canon. |
Paal had played virtually every game for Zwolle in Eredivisie + international selection.
Cannon, as a US citizen was different, but he'd also played in the top Portugese league.
Frey hasn't played all season. He may qualify for an exemption. But, there's no guarantee it would be granted. Maybe a contract has to be offered before a GBE is considered. I'm not an expert but it could be the case. | |

I do believe he left the required paperwork for Frey in his desk before he left. Someone at QPR just needs to look behind the top drawer to find it. | |
