CONFIRMED - Royston Drenthe

[MmmMonsterMunch]

He doesn't need international clearance though so that shouldn't be a delay.

Why doesn't he?

I'd hazard a guess at free movement of people within the EU?

[peeping bernal]

Apparently, the negotiations have stalled (briefly) over two issues. He wanted it written in the contract that he could have carnal knowledge of any attractive RFC Femail fans. Both the ladies in question said yes but RFC do not think it is a contract issue. Secondly, his request to reside in a local pub whilst he found accomodation in the local area was not seen as a definate plus. Negotiations are ongoing.

Has he meet Annie Bassett before?

Well actually he will need international clearance, FIFA rules are such that you need international clearance from both FAs even if signing a player from Wales or Scotland! However, he won't need any sort of visa because he's from the EU which is what it's being mixed up with I think!

Because not all black people are African ....

[Hoop Blah]

MonsterMunch, that's not international clearance. You're thinking of getting a work permit as someone coming in from outside the EU.

International clearance is a red tape exercise between FA's to prove the player is free to play, ie not banned etc.

We must have the same sense of humour. Noticed that no-one else picked up on it.

Sign yer contract, sign yer contract, sign yer contract Royston Drenthe

Was thinking that this would be the best signing in the history of the Chump. But then a few sprang to mind.

Craig Bellamy, Yakubu, Darius Vassel, Kevin Nolan. Even Jason Roberts for us.

Are any of you staring at this thread waiting for something to happen? Are you going quietly mad like me? Is your wife threatening to leave you if you do not sign out in a minute?

Is this signing going to be another cock up? Hammond to reveal that we have signed a league 2 striker for 10p.

If we get this season wrong I think Hammond will get the chop next!

[yappy]

Did spend alot of time today & yesterday checking this. Won't expect anything until at least 12pm tomorrow now though.

This meltdown is worse than Gylfigate.

I'm officially OUT.

That was stressful. Be strong mate, we have survived the aforementioned date numerous times, this is a walk in the park in comparison.

[winchester_royal]

I'm still hoping for a 1am announcement to reward die hard nobbers

[akranes]

I'm sure we're all happy to wait... just a few more hours.

Maybe we'll get a lucky 1am website 'accident', has happened before.

Justice for when the brats are in bed ready for school the next day and they can't update their ITK accounts..

[URZZZZZ]

Longer this goes on the more it makes me think it won't happen. Any longer and il start referring to it as a saga

[Samrfc01]

Anyone else think this has delayed because of the fact him and his agent have gone public with the deal?

You know how we like to keep all our transfer dealings a secret...
