Dwamena's chairman when our bid came through
That would make us appear like Risdale's Leeds of 15 years ago. Making foolish offers, gratefully accepted by players and clubs across Europe.
Didn't you know it's a squad game? ;-)
I suppose just worry about it when Jovetic finally signs........

Brighton fans are mental. General consensus on this lad who really has done nothing, ever, is pretty positive. Stevan Jovetic, who is wanted by Sevilla, and has played for Inter, Man City and Fiorentina and has a one in two scoring rate at international level. Most people not interested.
It's more that people would find it hard to believe that we are seriously in for him i suspect. It is easier to get excited about targets that seem more plausible.
Club's lawyers will have been all over the work permit situation before us getting anywhere near making a bid and will have advised on the likelihood of it being granted. We wouldn't have proceeded unless the chances were very high. Harry, on the other hand, probably called the Nigerian from pay as you go mobile, offered him tax free cash in a Monaco bank account named after one of his pets and didn't check with anyone first.
Could be close then.
We may still dodge the bullet [emoji2]

I would think so too, but him having a work permit in Switzerland or elsewhere in Europe means squat.
If you want to read something really ****ed up about work permits, look a Efe Ambrose..
http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.u...on_t_be_joining_Blackburn_Rovers_this_season/
BLACKBURN Rovers’ pursuit of Celtic defender Efe Ambrose has ended after his work permit application was turned down. Rovers had made a deadline day loan move for the 28-year-old Nigerian and he been training with the club ever since. However, he is now back with parent club Celtic, and won’t be signing for Rovers this season after he was denied a work permit.
“Not this year, no,” head coach Tony Mowbray said of a move for Ambrose. “The club has worked very hard behind the scenes to try and make it happen, but it’s not going to be happening
So thats a player who got a work permit to play in Scotland, but not in England. The same country!!.
....and he's only just stepped up to the Swiss top league where he's struggling more. Last season in the Swiss second division he was decent !

Excited by this potential signing as he's the one I wanted, would still like to see us bring in another striker on loan though with some decent prem experience.
Swap Ghana for Rapha and we've got ourselves a song.
Am very pleased with this signing. A big well done to the club for getting the deal over the line. It's looking as if we could have quite a pacey front line at this rate, which can only be a good thing given how our first two games panned out. One more striker to go please, and perhaps a midfielder too, and I'll be a happy chappy.
Maybe we could try "Hey, Raph Dwamena" to the tune of the Macarena.

He's scored 5 goals in 6 games this season including 2 league goals on his Swiss super league debut.
watch it here . 2 goals and makes a penalty. (which someone else misses)

Bit of a mouthful.
Seriously?! Let's hope our recruitment team recognised something very special, because this seems like a big gamble.
