Ulloa

[Papa Lazarou]

Funny how people see things in different ways. Because it is a "bonus" game as you say. I would have thought it would be the ideal game for him to start in. Competitive game time, with the lads, no league points at stake and a full hopefully 90 mins under his belt. With the added bonus that Arsenal, in all probability would not have done there homework on him.

I agree - but that's if he does get clearance. I'm saying that if it doesn't come through, it's not the end of the world, as long as he's available for the next game (or the replay)

Sounds about right followed by tea & cakes at Fortnum & Mason for £450 a pop

They're at Wembley now. Greasy spoon on Fridays!

I bet they don't have to pay a fortune for the sh*t food / drink they serve up for the customers at Wembley.

what happens if we dont get it? The FA refuse the Permit?

 

[OSRGull]

It's a f***ing joke to be honest, can't see it being cleared in the next hour.

He doesn't need a work permit as he's got a Spanish passport.

Did anyone find out the correct pronunciation of Ulloa? Can we just do it the English way ... ULL-OA, or do we have to use some fancy-dan Spanish pronunciation ... YEW-JOA?

I have just e-mailed the FA to see if I can get any info. Maybe if a few more did this they may get it sorted sooner.

Even if he's got it they probably won't announce it yet as they won't want Arsenal to know.

ok what if they dont give his clearance?

 

[El Turi]

I don't think it's actually ever happened so I think it is a formality but it just seems to be taking ages.

 

[Turkey]

We wouldn't be allowed to play him.

You really would have thought, that someone would drive upto the Fa and sort this out asap. Can't believe we signed a player for £2m + and he has already maybe missed three games. What a joke...On the plus side, he must have been in full training so when it is sorted out, we won't have none of this on the bench crap. Or you would have thought not.

according to orlandi on the radio this morning, they haven't been able to train cos of the snow!!
