i agree, wait and see.

they are still confident hes coming over..the longer it lingers the more the rumours will come out though.

anycase does he even get in our first 17???? not seen him play have we... maybe he would with lawrence being out now but if lawrence wasnt then maybe not for me.

Just in case anyone is interested my enquiry to our MP Barry Sheerman in reference to Ukuma Ta'ai (and other RL overseas players)has being passed on to Mark Harper at the Foreign Office.

How is it these Spanish speaking south American,or French speaking West african wendyball players seem to waltz in no problem.

How long will it take for the slippery politician to come back with a lame answer/excuse.

That'll be because they earn alot more and pay alot more tax, money talks.

Whats more to the point is, have they all had to pass the same tests that RL players have to?

But do they pay much tax? I'm sure I read that there are lots of sportsmen who do a Jimmy Carr and have these tax schemes set up. As for our new signing if language is a reason, then you do wonder why this seems only to be an issue for RL and not other sports. Well played bilko for digging over this.

you will find most footballs both overseas or uk are selfemployed so the pay very little income tax so fat over paib numtey on about 200k per week sould pay 90000 in tax under paye will pay less than 2000 under self employed by using normal legal tax dodgers becouse he works for fatmuppet ltd not the football club

just been informed by my good source

the giants have not given up yet

he has re filled his paperwork in and sent it off

hes just awaiting his visa now to come through and it could arrive any point

Hmmm just watched a Chelsea player kick a child in an act of absolute petulance! Though the Ball boy diid appear to be wasting time I still cannot grasp how this selfish petulant individual was deemed worthy of a work permit?

Was just gonna post the same GiantDee.

Incredible the goon earns £200k a week but goes around assaulting teenagers. Well Done UK a superb role model welcomed into the country with open arms

The player in question is Belgian. He doesn't need a work permit or visa as he's an EU citizen. His actions are irrelevant.

Ah, somehow I thought he was Brazilian, do not agree his act was irrelevant though, found it sickening that the comms were justifying his action as frustrating. If a Bobby gave a kid a clip around the ear they would be sacked, without question. What is different here?

accept the Work Permit is not an issue due to being an EU citizen, but the kick was an adult bullying a child, anyone justifying that is a disgrace
