We would have to wait for a work permit, too, I think. Unlikely to be available until very near the end of the month.

Was there a long wait for Wesley's? Genuine query as I can't remember
yes, bloody ages

I really don't want to be negative but if he is the best we can do with our untold millions - then what is the point

What about his work permit app, would he not fall at this hurdle? Any experts on H&V?

‘The player’s National Association must be at or above 70th place in the official FIFA World Rankings when averaged over the two years preceding the date of the application.’

Looking into this the application would have to go to a panels decision. A bit like strictly

It would sum us up if it took a couple of months to get a work permit, we are so organised (on and off the pitch)!

We can’t spend untold millions though can we?

Rename this site Heroes and Moaners because the majority of you like a good old whinge. This bloke could be second coming of Thierry Henry - none of you that are moaning have ever seen him play. Whatever happened to getting behind the players and team?

I can’t be the only one excited by this, his record seems decent and he’s a bloody striker. I hope it’s true and we don’t have to spend ages messing about with a work permit.
