Coolio. Well if he's impressed SO'D, then I'll be looking forward to seeing what he can do.

[Ravi]

Now for the unknown factor - obtaining a work permit.

If it's anything like Findley getting his first game, we won't see him until January!

[Bennett]

wont get a work permit will take weeks/months till he signs

[CloughyForEngland]

Coming over here and saving our shots..

There is a perfectly good Englishman called Paul Smith who could have this job

[killy23]

Well this will be one anticipated wait then won't it!

[Ravi]

That N Ireland bloke can fill in until Al-Rashidi gets his work permit.

[Bennett]

ok but tbh id rather have the Mk dons keeper and take there LB

[Red Dawn]

Cheerio Paul smith and Darlow it seems.

Hopefully this guy is actually good and not just because of our owners ..

I know. Cynical!

[CloughyForEngland]

I'd rather have Cheryl Cole sit on my face.

[Dangerous Dom]

i'm a little worried about this hope it's not a sign of things to come regarding arab players, we need players that know the english game and have been successful at this level.

[TheDude]

These owners are bad news!

[killy23]

Well if its gonna take so long for a work permit (if true over this transfer) then Darlow still has some time to impress, though he may not leave, we never know.

There are plenty of foreign players playing in the Premier League who had zero experience of the English game before they came here.

[Gary]

The fact that Al Habsi is one of the premierships best keepers gives me a lot of comfort here.

[CloughyForEngland]

Yeah I'm not worried. It's not like we've signed up tons of these trialists. They've been here a couple of weeks and SOD has clearly seen enough from this chap to warrant a contract. I think we will also sign BAM and that might be it for the foreign legion. BAM may actually be our new winger.

[mouldynffc]

Good enough for a good manager who has seen him first hand then he is good enough for me.

[john player]

Please lets not dismiss a player cos of his race. If he's been offered a deal then i'm guessing he's good enough!

[CloughyForEngland]

Not the race that concerns people so much as the ''mates rates'' that the new owners might be giving. I'm sure it's nothing that sinister though and the guy has merely impressed.

[Harrison]

looked good in the training clips

[RobbieLePop]

The 17 second video in which he saves one shot?

Check out this Al-Rashidi save @ 41.02 vs Real Madrid. The replay has a better angle. He's your new favourite player.
