Idrissa Gueye - now gone

[Bad English]

Is GANA his middle name ?

Yes, it was also his grandfather's first name. It appears that last season he stopped having Gueye on the back of his shirts [article in French] and had Gana instead.

Gana and Gueye are great homophones for a song...

It's  probably me but I thought the loose ends would have been concluded last night.
Still nothing announced at the moment. Knowing our luck his agent is trying to negiote
a better. deal for his client elsewhere overnight
As I say it is its probably me.

I wonder if it could be work permit problems not sure what his situation is with that?

[Matt Collins]

Stuart James is one of the journos I trust most on villa and he reckons it's a done deal.

Just think about how many deals you've read about being concluded about twenty times over the last fortnight. I think Liverpool have signed clyne every day since mid June.

isn't it now just waiting on a work permit?

I hope so.

Is the work permit going to be a problem. I don't think he's been playing regularly for his national side recently. Or does the fact that he has been living and working in another EU country overcome the issues with a player coming direct from Africa or elsewhere.

Having been in France since 13, I'd have thought he'd have dual nationality, or is that me playing too much Championship Manager?

Should we really be encouraging homophonic chants at Villa Park ?

[mr underhill]

we must have been aware of the fact that he would need a work permit and have been confident he would get one wouldn't we, before making and offer, and agreeing terms with the guy? On the other hand, didn't we did forget to renew Makoun's?.

The deal will be contingent on his work permit being approved and I am sure they expect it to be straight forward.

If I remember rightly, Makoun's problem was that he couldn't pass a language test to get an extension to the initial 2 years after spending a year in Greece with no English tuition.

Homophonic is perfectly OK - actually it should be encouraged (2 musical chords in harmony) - I think you are mixed up with homophobic!

It didn't work with Djemba-Djemba but here's hoping Gana Gueye will at least give us some rhythm in our play!

Glad we got that straight.
