TBH I'd be very surprised if he's even confirmed by then, work permits take weeks (if that's what the hold up is)

 

Not anymore - normally sorted in couple of days.

Then tell me why Barnard couldn't play at right back??

 

Burley's stupidity was in part down to playing people out of position.

 

I didn't comment on Barnard, I did comment on your dismissive reaction to a reasonable opinion put forward regarding Fonte. Barnard at full back who knows? would he be any good? maybe. Could he play there? of course he could. Will he ever be selected there? not a cat in hells chance. Jermaine Wright had a pretty decent run at right back but looked very lightweight in midfield. Burley was pretty poor for us and tinkered too much. Don Revie switched Johnny Giles from right wing to be the main playmaker, turned out rather well wouldn't you say? It's happened with lots of players, Bale, Henry for example.

My 'dismissive reaction' was suggesting Barnard at right back. If you didn't comment on that you can't have commented on it at all.

It appeared to me that having put the quote in, you made no comment on it except to make a comment about Barnard at right back, which appeared to be a throwaway, as it was no response to an intelligent comment about Fonte being used in midfield..

TSW law - the longer a thread is , the more pointless and insulting it will become and the more likley it is to end with a reference to Skacel

 

Has he signed yet? (sits back and waits for infraction)

Another high profile signing. Blimey.

 

......has he actually signed yet ??

 

I know, dissapointing isn't it. I was hoping for Piqué too. Instead we have to settle for a young inexperienced Tunisian reject who Young Boys Bern don't even want. When will we show some ambition and sign a good player that has proven himself in some very good leagues in Europe!? FFS. first some Belgian no c*nt had heard of and now this Wally.

or know if he is any good?

 

is he left footed? Adkins has said he likes a left footer playing alongside Fonte

 

Yeah I'm sure I read he's left footed

He's left footed, yep. Can also play LB.

 

Not heard anything more, reckon it's stalled re: work permits. Adkins seemed pretty confident a signing would be done a little while ago now, and this guy was hotly tipped to be the player.

This should be a sticky in 32 point font. :lol:

It's definitely not work permit, because work permit paperwork is the last thing you'd do. No club would agree fee and terms with a player and then announce nothing while waiting for the work permit. You are deluding yourselves. Not saying he won't ever sign but i don't think for a minute that it is all done and dusted except the work permit.

Work Permit delays?

 

Ah it's those nasty ToriesLibDems with their new get tough immigration rules that "The City" have so moaned about.

 

No doubt clubs now have to make a formal powerpoint presentation to some Mandarin showing why an imported player is better than an English passport Holder.

 

Clearly the same problem has affected all the big clubs this summer with their lack of foreign signings.....

 

Oh

I was thinking this morning that it would make sense that a more complex deal would be the reason for the delay in getting something announced. The QPR connection might have some legs therefore, but if he's been playing for them why should a work permit be an issue?

Can anyone remember how long it took to sort out Jaidi's work permit?

 

Pretty sure a couple of weeks. His must have been more straightforward because he was already working here. Jaidi was training with us during that time I think.
