Mc Donald Mariga deal done (Merged)

[BibbyBlue85]

Just to let you know how fucked up this all this, Adebayor's country, Togo, was also outside of the top 70 at the time of his transfer.

Did we need a work permit or does he hold a French passport?

Also, as he was already working within the UK, does he need a new permit?

Yeah we needed to re-new it for Ade but because he was already playing here it was easier for the permit to be granted.

Benni McCarthy has just had his re-newed due to him moving to West Ham

George Weah

Weah spent 7 years in France and 5 in Italy before coming to England, potentially in that time he sought, and gained, a passport?

Also he was a former World and European player of the year, this would allow whoever signed him to claim "special circumstances" based on the calibre of the individual involved.

yes agree with all that.... But they ignore the national Ranking if he's a superstar... (or if they move to utd) thats my point.

Gary Cook is fucking idiot

Because it wasn't set in stone. Manucho to the rags is a good example.

If we wouldn't have gone for him, how many people would be complaining that they didn't even try?

its not a case of having a punt for a player and hoping for the best, its leaving it so late that we now dont have a plan B.

On what basis are you so sure we don't have a plan B? How close to the deadline did Robinho's name get a mention for the first time? How important is a plan B for this position anyway? We've already got Vieira in.

I do get the general point you are making though. Why clubs wait until the last day of the window to do all their deals I will never understand.

Fucking hell blues, look at you's all wanting Cook's head! ANYONE who can organise a transfer like Robinho's, when the takeover was only done that same day, knows what they are doing. Not one of you know the lead up to this Mariga failure.

Some of our fans are acting like spoilt brat primadonna's ffs..Rags in the making.

People have the right to question and criticise without the old chestnut of being a rag thrown at them.

More raglike to not be questioning things like this IMO.

spoilt little brats

you can't force a selling club to agree a deal before they are good and ready

you can't force the DOE to give you the decision you want

Gary Cook is fucking idiot

[alera]

Barry breathes a sigh of relief as this guy would have had him out of the starting 11 IMO.
