I am currently going through a visa process to go overseas and it takes time and there is quite a bit of back and forth of information involved. Don't get me wrong the club will have already submitted a request a few weeks before the signing to ensure that he will be granted a visa hence the signing. but at some times the actual final stamp on a visa can take time and a lot of things need to be checked. IMO this could literally be getting held up depending on whose desk it has landed on and how methodical they are at their job (It may be that it is sitting on a desk in front of a Newcastle fan who keeps putting it to the bottom of the pile ) I personally think that it will be sorted soon and if it was a big problem then the club would be making a bit more noise about it. Obviously he is training and on the payroll now so they will have the decision in principle that his visa will not be a problem.
To be fair just takes one coffee revel left in the bag to do some serious damage if it hits somebody.
This happens regularly but you don't hear about it because it's rarely reported ... ... I remember Man Utd moaning that the visa for Casemiro hadn't arrived in time for the Liverpool game but that was a big televised match.
Just depends really. We have a very specific play style and i'd imagine it takes a while to get used to it. Not to mention the fact he's just left his home nation and is now in a foreign country and probably is struggling with communication. There is no need to chuck him in now and kill his confidence. Let him settle in and we will see the best of him in time, lets not forget we didn't see the best of Amad until around November.
Think it just subsided when built as pitch is below ground level. Was just watching something about the stadium and being built on top of mineshaft. There is 3 shaft in the area, all capped off and none under the stadium.
️ Nazariy Rusyn is eligible to feature this weekend following the completion of his visa application process. The 24-year-old Ukrainian received the relevant paperwork this week and is now available for selection for the Lads’ latest Sky Bet Championship tie against Cardiff City on Sunday. In the interim, Rusyn has been involved in first-team training since his arrival from Zorya Luhansk and but will now provide selection options for the Head Coach as they welcome the Bluebirds. "We will assess him in training and see where he is at. He's a nice kid and he looks pretty sharp. Whether he is ready is another question", said the Gaffer. Mowbray’s side looking to gain a fourth consecutive win in the league following recent victories against Southampton, Queens Park Rangers and Blackburn Rovers. #SAFC
Mowbray initially said, a couple of days ago, that he asked him to travel when it was thought his visa wouldn't be through to spend time with the squad but he declined. I was immediately worried about the lads attitude until he added it was so he could do 2 days training instead to get as fit as possible! Sounds a good un, nice he's been up to look at Penshaw Monument too
There were excellent rumours shortly after the stadium opened of mag engineers being involved in faking survey results. Stadium's not fallen down yet though.
