Wij, 24hrs; Mit, 18hrs; Mbemba, 50hrs and counting (toon touchdown to announcement). Should we be worried?

There's a lot of small print in these contracts, he's probably just looking for his readers.

If it's a visa issue there's almost certainly nothing happening until Monday morning at the earliest.

Mitrovic was announced subject to visa iirc.

Elvis - Return to Sender

 

Chancel Mbemba

His age unknown

Might be 20

Might be old

 

The lad's from Congo

Gave Willo the sack

Don't ask his age because those papers keep coming back

 

Flew over from Belgium

He's the next Kompany

His bones say 20

But his face looks 43

If there is doubt (ahem) about his age, I mean medically, not a deal breaker, but wouldn't surprise me if club tried to re-negotiate (less buy them young, sell them on potential)  :yikes:

 

It's like a car though. If you bought one that had been clocked, as long as the paper work looked kosher you shouldn't lose when you sell it.

Unless the car breaks down cos it's older and more knackered than you think.

Yeah but as soon as it started to act up you'd think, hey up best get rid. Then we can punt him to Real Madrid for £13mil.

not a terrible song, but the most awkward movement by the singer that I've ever, ever seen.

 

Class, but surreal! Makes Ian Curtis look rhym...Rim....Riith... (Ahem), like he can dance...  :embarrassed:

A simple lesson from the Frank Butcher school of economics!

If this was football manager it would be zero chance of initial work permit plus one in 4 chance on appeal. If that is reflected in real life you also have to add on the issues with his age documentation.

 

It's not clear cut at all that he will be able to join us.

He'd have been a automatic yes under the previous system, even with the changes he's surely still likely to get it.

Does it matter that DR Congo aren't ranked in top 50? That's the only technical difference I can think of between between him and Mitrovic. Unless, relevant bureaucrats only work Mon-Fri, and we're worrying over nothing. :undecided:
