Alfredo morelos training with the team today.

If morels is training with the team what's happened to Pena and Herrera

18 Jun 2017 03:19:10
I would imagine they are at the confederations cup with mexico

18 Jun 2017 03:47:09
The 2 mexicans had there work permits before morelos. Visa issues must be a problem i think

Could be as simple as tying up things before coming over. Morelos was in Finland which is a fair bit closer than Mexico. If there was a problem with the work permits we would have heard OR the stigma about Mexicans taking there time all work in the Visa department?

Was the picture from his fitness test and not him training

Great opportunity for the conspiracy theorists! Maybe Dave Kings credit card has bounced?

Pena and Herrera are not in the Mexican squad for the confederations cup

18 Jun 2017 15:34:36
We will be nickle'n and dime'n about the structure of the payment for Pena no doubt. It does not take this long to finalise these things surely. Medical passed, personal terms agreed and work permit approved. What is left? Payment?

The reason being said in Mexico is that the visas haven’t been issued. Not sure why it's taking so long.
Can we still register them for Europe cup?

{Ed039's Note - if rangers hold the players registrations then yes, the visa is not a football matter but if they haven't been issued a work permit by the home office then the transfers won't have been completed so it would be a no, it really depends on exactly what stage we are at in the entire process, you can register your squad for these rounds and make 2 additions or swaps up until 24 hours prior to the game as well so it's it that urgent)

Thanks Ed039 we will just have to be patient

{Ed039's Note - I am sure we will hear over the next few days)

Does anyone know if the head of man city youth has been appointed as the new DOF there was a story on news now yesterday confirming it but not seen it anywhere else.

17 Jun 2017 14:10:42
Hope it's him, if it is him that gets the Role I'm assuming that with his background he ll be focusing on youth and the great work Craig's done with the academy and not meddling too much in Pedro first team affairs. ANother piece in the good business model they are building at the famous Glasgow rangers!

Always thought Pedro seemed like a guy who would want to source his own Players. After reading about the man who may get the position I still think that this will be the case. Pedro does have the knowledge and the contacts to go after the Players he wants to bring in. i'm sure the new DOF will be involved in first team recruitment at some level.

In my opinion the new DOF with his background will be focusing on building up our Youth Teams and I think we have landed a top man to do exactly this. He will have knowledge of all the up and coming youth Players from Europe and probably beyond, and it is this that I think he will be asked to focus on.
Other than that he will probably be the person who is involved in the negotiations of out going Players.

I personally think that the guy has an excellent pedigree and because of his previous employers we could be in line to reep huge benefits. Hopefully due to him getting this post our relationship with Man. City could thrive and result in more Transfers/ loans between the two Club's.

Wonder if the appointment of Mark Allen will increase our chances of landing young Beerman's mate at Man. City the young CH?

Fingers crossed that this goes through, its great to see the Club bringing in qualty Players but its deals like this that could have a huge impact on the future of our Club. Another good bit of business from King and the Board.
