Allardyce on .cock says it should be done today hopefully - delay isn't down to him or the player it would seem.
Says he's signed him for his height, his composure on the ball, and his ability to read the game, and his ability to settle quickly due to his English fluency.
May take him a while to be ready to play in the Premiership yet, so may only be on the bench at start of season, depending on how he fares in pre-season.
