Transfervindue Vinter 2025/2026
Jeg tænkte det samme. Derfor googlede jeg forhåbningsfuldt. Men det virker til, at der er lavet en kattelem for at få yderligere talent ind. De må have fire såkaldte ESC-spillere (Elite Significant Contribution): https://www.danielgeey.com/done-deal-blog/changes-to-english-footballs-work-permit-rulesHvordan i alverden kan en spiller fra et afrikansk land uden landskampe få opholdstilladelse i England? Er det ikke blevet umådeligt svært efter Brexit?
Har de ikke et eller andet pointsystem nu, hvor du enten skal have en meget stor kontrakt eller have spillet X-antal A-landskampe?
Når det er sagt, så vil den største hindring for at miste James være vores tvivlsomme historik med at give spilletid til talenter især de offensive.
Tænk, et signal det vil sende til Haugstrup eller et hvilket som helst andet talent, der overvejer AGF, at hente en 33-årig spiller, han kunne hedde Lerager.
What does ‘Elite Significant Contribution’ mean?
The new regulations state that a player will be deemed an ‘ESC Player’ if “the Player is an elite player and will make a significant contribution to the sport”. In this respect, the FA expects the player to have satisfied one or more of the following conditions:
It should be noted, however, that ‘Domestic Youth Competition Matches’ only covers certain domestic leagues worldwide, and clubs will therefore need to carefully consider the regulations when evaluating whether a player is capable of being an ‘ESC Player’.
- played in at least one Youth Competitive International Match for a national team ranked in the top 50 places in the FIFA World Rankings; or
- played in at least 5 Youth Competitive International Matches for a national team ranked outside the top 50 places in the FIFA World Rankings; or
- played in at least one Continental Youth Competition Match; or
- played in at least five Domestic Youth Competition Matches; or
- played in at least one Senior Competitive International Match for a national team ranked in the top 50 places in the FIFA World Rankings; or
- played in at least five Senior Competitive International Matches for a national team ranked outside the top 50 places in the FIFA World Rankings; or
- played in at least one match in a Continental Competition; or
- played in at least five Domestic Senior Competition Matches.
How many ESC Players can each Club have?
Premier League and Championship clubs will, at least initially, be able to register a maximum of four ESC Players who do not meet the current GBE requirements, whereas for League One and League Two teams the maximum will be two.
The quota of ESC Players a club can register will be proportional to the number of minutes they give to English players, as explained in detail in this excellent Analytics FC piece. While each club will get at least two places for ESC players in the 2023/24 season, they will thereafter receive between zero and four depending on the number of English players playing in future seasons.
The FA has confirmed that this ‘allowance’ will be kept under review, so it may increase if the English player development programme is working successfully.
