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

[schmunk]

Is Percy an Albion player yet, or have the club thrown in the Tau?

We just need to hang in there, percyvere.

 

[Megazone]

We just need to hang in there, percyvere.

But what if it's all just a load of tau tau's?

 

[Bob!]

We just need to hang in there, percyvere.

I assume nothing would be announced until the work permit is resolved

 

[Gabbiano]

I assume nothing would be announced until the work permit is resolved

If I remember correctly, Izquierdo was announced prior to the work permit being completed, with all the usual caveats and "subject to"s in the announcement

That's not the normal way we work tho': we normally announce "signed subject to work permit"...

I like this bit

'He has a few examples of his compatriots to emulate such as Benni McCarthy, Lucas Radebe, Aaron Mokoena and Quinton Fortune, who all survived the challenges of the EPL. A plus factor for Tau is that he is more talented than this group.'

If he comes here, we'd better make sure we send a car for him - we don't want him on the M25 un-supervised (on the assumption he flies into Heathrow)

LoL!

I agree.

 

[Winker]

I expect we'll end up with Desmond Tau Tau

It has since been revealed to the Siya crew by sources in the know that the Brazilians have agreed to a deal in principle with Brighton, with an announcement about the completion of the deal imminent at this point.

"Indications are that Brighton could be sending Tau on loan to another European club in the new season, as it will be difficult for the player to secure a work permit and play in the English Premier League."

Ooh i wonder which club that will be

In these globalised times, it is very confusing that their team nickname is The Brazilians

 

[Napper]

Shame we wont see him this season even if we get him.

It is? Well, thanks for the info. - I was just about to ask what on earth Brazilians had to do with the deal!

He's not that small, is he?

 

[macbeth]

He's not that small, is he?

After the signing of Maty Ryan last summer, I wouldn't put anything past this recruitment department when it comes to lack of height.

Well hopefully somewhere where he will start accruing the experience needed to get him a work permit. So not in the Belgian second division.
