Wouldn't Willian need a work permit? Assuming he has Brazilian passport....

Yeah, I assume this is the formality POTL was talking about.
A Brazillian coming from Russia probably isn't the most straight-forward thing to process for the Home Office.

He should get one ok as Fernandinho transferred to City without much hassle after playing for 8 seasons in Ukraine. Although I am just thinking, he has 5 international caps vs Willians 2, maybe that's why?

 

[Dancing Dozzell]

Thats one name for it!

Danny Camaraderie.... Not sure he's an upgrade on Defoe tbh

Baldini on the beach .. beach football scouting, great excuse, i like it

If it were me, I'd prefer beach volleyball, ladies' of course where you see 9 bouncing balls all the time.

 

[Mouse!]

Wenger has his guys on the job I dare say....Franco might have sensitive or even some transfer info on his laptop

Not as bad as the stuff on Wenger's laptop once you click 'Show hidden files and folders'...

 

[chalks79]

Well the Home Office need to pull they're finger out!

Stoof has a stamp they can borrow! haha

This transfer window is getting too exiting and may get me fired.

For every 5 minutes of work I do I spend the next 25 looking for new about transfers.

 

[Grey Fox]

Madrid seems a long way to go just for Baldini to say F*** off to Perez, me thinks he might be bringing Coentrauo back in his suitcase (not ITK)

I know from a friend's experience, that getting a visa to Russia isnt the easiest or quickest thing to do. So I suspect transferring paperwork, registration documents and work permits wont take 5 minutes.

Why keep wasting those 5 minutes?

 

[strader]

Just hoping when we announce Willian, we can enjoy it before some crazy bale story comes up to mask over our latest transfer record signing.

hmmm..... at this present time or towards the end of the window we will have a solid team, hence the thought of rule number 1 - never sell your best player to a rival team, Bale / RM....

 

[sebcole]

Mourinho yes it was. Wenger was too many years ago for me to remember

Isn't AVB, Mourinho mark II ?

 

[WalkerboyUK]

When Brad was on The Fantasy Football Show on Friday he said that work permit applications these days are a formality....
The requirement nowadays is not as intensive as 10 years ago..... only need to look at most towns to realise that!!

Bloody hope so. It has to be. Think he'd be massive in our team.

PS: Has Rachel Riley been putting all the vowels on the bottom row again as you appear to have a penchant for them

 

[dudu]

Another crazy thing are the demands many of us fans are making:

'We must sign a LB'
'We need a other striker' etc

If we do sign all the desired players we will be world class throughout the team!
Only that is good enough now?
How far we have come.

hahaha! my only wish is that people actually realize that - see where we have come form, see where we are planning to get to and chill the fuck out. Too often over the last few seasons ive spoken to too many fans with crazy delusions of grander - we are tottenham and deserve to be at the very top, but lets not forget where we were 6,7,8,9,10 years ago. Thinking of some of the ridiculous comments im now going to hear at the lane makes me cringe

 

[sebcole]

re: willian

Last minute jitters?

 

[Kaboul'sForehead]

According to my imagination, it was once foretold by an old wiseman named Arthur (or Eric..or something..it doesn't fucking matter ok move on), in millennia long since passed, that in the year 2013 a man named Andre from Portugal who was the pinnacle of coolness would unite with an Italian called Franco who would have far too much hair for his age (the pesto smelling bastard) and a hobbit originating from The Shire who was the pinnacle of baldness.

The prophecy goes that the three amigos would destroy the 2013 transfer window, rendering their bitter and ****ish (Arthur/Eric's words not mine) rivals, Arsenal, flabbagasted. "The Scum", as they were known by the almighty spurs clan, would subsequently implode as a football club, and their fans would flee to the hills where they would interbreed and therefore, logically, become Norwich fans.

The end.

 

[Beni]

Think after this window, we're going to be in for a drought in terms of incomings in future transfer windows for a while, not that I am complaining with the amazing window we have had this summer.

Baldinis next role, would be mainly concentrating unearthing gems for youth development, and just the odd 1 or 2 for the 1st team.

 

[AUSpur]

Has the earlier ITK that Baldini wasn't doing much been amended/updated? Seems it should be.
