pingwing Posted 11 January, 2012 Share Posted 11 January, 2012 So has he got a work permit or not?? Yes he is cleared to work in the UK as a footballer for Southampton FC, all he has to do is get back over here and sign some forms to be on the bus!

Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 11 January, 2012 Share Posted 11 January, 2012 Wow, Nicola must be running out of horse heads. Great work, wonder if he can be registered by the deadline for the Forest game (Friday midday is it?) although if it isn't I might get to see his debut the week after at SMS. There are always plenty of horse heads. Every time one is put down at a race meet, who do you think collects the carcass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Window Cleaner Posted 11 January, 2012 Share Posted 11 January, 2012 Did we know the club's initial application for a work permit had failed and this was an appeal ? I thought we thought this was a straight permit application job. Well no, but some of did in fact know he didn't meet the prima facie criteria. Anyway good news but I think our hunt for another striker will be put on a back burner for a while,maybe a younger man with potential just in case.

Nexstar Posted 11 January, 2012 Share Posted 11 January, 2012 Personally I'm hoping he gets more than a few minutes off the bench against Leicester. Rickie's last game out, he might as well start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubai_phil Posted 11 January, 2012 Share Posted 11 January, 2012 (edited) How sure are people that we have actually signed the chap and if so, how long before he will playing and furthermore how significant a contribution ? Well we have signed him on a pre work permit contract The rest is on the OS and Twitter Links already posted We could NOT sign him on an actual contract WITHOUT the work Permit Work Permit is only validated when he enters the UK with it. Hence he'll probably sign his official contract tomorrow Opinion? Won't see him near the bench for at least a week.

Stop trolling ! I forgive you for your part in blocking the re-appointment of one of our most successful ex managers and you do not need to carry your guilt for our demise into League 1 forever. BTW I made my bold prediction before we kicked a ball in the new season ? When dod you make your prediction and did you play safe by making a vague punt that you could re-adjust as the season wore on...bet you did !
