    Does he have access to an EU passport? Or does the whole work permit thing not apply to lower division teams. Brad Guzan recently was denied by the home office a move to Aston Villa I believe because of lack of a certain percentage of national team caps.

    I'm not sure if he has an EU angle on a work permit - if not, I don't see how he's going to move over to us. Also, I'm not quite sure why the club are so obsessed with a new keeper (other than grabbing a back-up to Lee Camp). Perhaps the new regime is too obsessed with bringing in their own players...

    From the blogosphere... apparently Pickens has a French wife and could qualify for a work permit via that route (although neither that fact or the work permit are sure things). I guess we shall see - no comment on the official site yet.

    Pickens is actually pretty good, he was awesome against the Revs this year.

    Finnish international defender/midfielder Sampsa Timoska has had his contract terminated by mutual consent and with immediate effect. Timoska joined the R's last January and made 21 appearances in all competitions. He seemed a pretty good player, but he's caught up in the numbers game these days.

    Also, Simon Walton has gone on loan to Hull City until the end of February.

    There are some loud whispers that the Rs could be in the market for Portuguese playmaker Luis Figo this summer...
