[Albion] Percy Tau - SIGNED on a 4 year deal - The Lion Returns. RRROOOAAAARRRRR

[GT49er]

Shame that Brexit haters seem to have invaded a football thread ................... but, to confront their point, we did know that we could control non-EU immigration (although we also knew that under the inept Home Secretary at the time the border control system was failing miserably); it was immigration from the EU we couldn't control. And, with the likes of Merkel wanting to allocate economic migrants to all parts of the EU, it was only a matter of time (and not very much time in some countries) before they became officially EU citizens - who would thus have free movement.

So, wish we voted remain all you like, but please don't let the facts get in the way. And maybe keep this thread about Percy Tau.

Could well be Tony wanting to get Percy there to help them get promoted without having him on their books financially.

It'll be interesting to see going forward if any other Albion players move to Union.

This is exactly my thought.

Someone asked a question and was getting an answer. Whilst some people obviously would know that the person asking the question clearly didn't know it or they wouldn't have asked.

This is ironic. We have Percy Tau who hasn't got the right credentials to obtain a work permit to play for us and he's playing for a club who even if they win their qualifying group for the Europa League they won't be allowed to play in it because they haven't got the required credentials to be allowed to play in it.

Whats the verse, I could not work that bit out something about Romania or South Africa or a Lion Zion!

Heeeeeee's the Lioooon of Juuuuudah (tune is Seven Nation Army)

 

[Mental Lental]

Mac Allister however probably will qualify by virtue of playing in a top league and also becuase of the value of his transfer fee and, I assume, his wages to go with it.

No we signed him with a view to getting him an EU passport (I assume he qualifies via a grandparent or something?). "There have been problems with the paperwork" regarding the passport apparently.

Whats the match they’re playing tonight, league, playoff?

Belgian Europa League Qualifying group. Playing a midtable team from the division above them in the domestic league tournament.

The winners of the 2 groups then playoff to see who plays Antwerp for a Europa League place - although USG don't have the licence for next season's Europa League entry anyway it seems.

It's an 8th play off match, there are 6 teams in the play off league, so I presume they'll play all teams twice. I don't know, though. They're 2nd in that table, 2 points behind a team who have won 7 of their 8 games. They play each other next, USG at home. That's enormous!

 

[Don Tmatter]

Thanks.
Did they win promotion to the top Belgian division?

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Thanks.
Did they win promotion to the top Belgian division?

No, not this year. They came reasonably close, but didn't win either of the half-season leagues to reach the promotion playoff final.

 

[Craven Wine]

nope

 

[Don Tmatter]

Probably needs a loan to a higher level next season then does he?

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Probably needs a loan to a higher level next season then does he?

Yes, probably. No idea what the work permit strategy will be.

 

[Juan Albion]

Anyone know why he was substituted at half time?

 

[b.w.2.]

Anyone explain the point of signing a player we cannot play?

A question for the fans' forum instead of asking about buying a train ?
