Thanks for the effort ! Unfortunately, many of those players already moved out, and it's just that transfermarkt hasn't updated them. So I think it would be better to wait until september for that kind of list.
It's also missing a few players like Wakui

IJsselmeervogels contracted 22 year old striker Takayuki Sakaguchi from he Kansai University.
He is available immediately.
According to the Ijsselmeervogels he's a fast technically gifted player that can play attacking football on the left side. I donot understand how they can pay him the Dutch FA minimum wage for non EU players.
