Amazed we got the work permit sorted that quickly.
Who said we have?

It's not clear whether we have, but the Mail and a few other journalists believe he'll be signed in time for Watford, so the presumption is yes.

As a former civil servant, I will be very surprised if all is done for Tuesday and no one has hinted/said that it will be. Just that things are progressing well. I won’t expect him to be playing, but hope I’m wrong.

I suppose it's still possible we might get also another loan in on Monday or Tuesday.

So is it confirmed he has passed medical, has all the completed paperwork necessary for him to play Tuesday?

I've not even seen confirmation we have actually signed him yet ???

My nan who lived in Mere Green was friends with Renato and his family.

When he is announced, with the shirt stretch, can we have a 24/48 punfest window to allow us all to get it out of our systems.


If we don't play Joe Dolce over the PA prior to his debut I will be gutted. It would be pure 'music theatre'.
Wasn't Joe Dolce from Sutton Coldfield? Is he still around ? If so he could sing the song in front of the Holte like that bloke singing Ynwa on the last day of the Holte terracing - against Liverpool
Born in America.
You're thinking of Rene of Rene and Renata fame!
That's the one !!!   I'm now trying to remember what their one hit wonder was :)

Renee was the woman, the geezer was Renato.  Sad that I know that I know, but there is a cafe/bar in Mere Green called Renato's with a big mural of the two of them and apparently owned by said crooner.

Renato died in 2009.

He may be a complete flop and we get relegated.
On the plus side we are all a little better informed about season 1969/70 and the merits of African cuisine.

Please add locally based one hit wonders from the early 1980s and a guide to eating establishments in Mere Green.

One of the most informative threads in a long while.

Brent?! How very dare you, Mr Green! I live in Ealing, London's greenest borough, on a lifelong loan from from Salop. Brent is a terrible borough, London's greyest. I nearly moved to Brentford, but that's in Hounslow, where the planes go.

I don't like how folk from That London pronounce the first syllable of Hounslow like it rhymes with "town" when I always think it should be said as if it rhymes with "bun".

Maybe the civil servants process things quicker these days than in your days Frank  ;)
