Not seen such Bravery!
They have not speeded anything up.
They have just made a signing announcement later in the process.
As we would have done with Izquierdo if the news hadn't leaked out earlier than we wanted.

Ok I accept that they havent speeded up the process I have read it wrong.

Can anyone quickly outline the timeframes for this? When is the initial hearing?

I believe CH said later this week ? So today/tomorrow. The wording was quite interesting and far more low key than Jose, so I'm wondering if the club are expecting a no and then appeal. Certainly didn't seem as open with information on this one.

If it was up to the club, we wouldn't even have officially announced Izquerido yet. Brugges jumped the gun and blabbed though, so we had no choice but to announce the deal (in principal) before it had all been finalised. I don't think Watford have found a "fasttrack" way, its just different timings of the announcement.

And then following that we need clearance etc. So I'm guessing he's deffo out for Watford?

I really do hope Raphael becomes a legend like Peter Ward for his goal scoring and not a Maheta Molango that this signing has so many similarities to, but more expensive

Yeah, think both the club and Naylor said assuming medical, permit and international clearance is gained he wouldn't be available before West Brom at home

He's a Peruvian who has been in Portugal for five years. It's possible he has now got dual nationality and as we're still in the EU, that counts. It's also a loan deal, rather than a sale.

Work permit hearing tomorrow for Brighton and Hove Albion's potential £10 million signing Raphael Dwamena

Tomer Hemed is likely to leave Albion before the transfer window closes at the end of the month if the deal for Dwamena goes through.

He has also played 34 times for Peru, 12 times since and including 2015, if that is 75% of Peru's games i think that makes the work permit a formality.

On his last warning
Probably means there's another striker coming in, and don't forget, Colombian Jose can also play upfront.
Would we really let Hemed leave? Really silly with only Murray and Dwamena left at the moment. Goodness know when we'll see Baldock again. Having now bought a striker (and still needing another) let's not sell one. We find it hard enough to score goals as it is. Crass stupidity in my view.

We have Brown too that can play upfront, I prefer him to Hemed... sorry
But isn't he injured to and we've no idea when he's likely to be back. Keep as many strikers as possible in my view. I doubt funding is a problem anymore.
Brown who could also be out for quite a well. You rate that as better than Hemed who is fit. Excellent. Life is good then
But only being allowed to name 25 players in your PL squad might be. If we keep 5 strikers that leaves 20 players to cover 10 positions, since we are likely to play 4-4-1-1. That's a bit of an oversimplification admittedly because of the age exceptions but still, you've not quite thought that through. If we get one more in - and Andy Naylor has hinted we might - then Hemed becomes surplus to requirements.
