Taye Taiwo and Onuoha

Good for the telegraph... Guess work from them

Mellow mate you sound more like Meldrew these days. I wasn't having a pop at you I was simply asking whether you know for a fact he won't be playing or whether you are, like you say of the Telegraph, guessing.

Guess work pal... Didnt read you post like that anyway mate. IMO no way will onuha play and unless matey signs before 12 can't see it happening.. I've heard he doesn't even need a permit. Why the hold up?

[stainrodisalegend]

Its odd I agree. Almost as if the club want to announce several signings at once. Normally they like to do it one at a time to generate more PR. Unless its a cunning ruse to keep Wigan guessing?

That was a Flabio plan - drip feed it to the fans to keep them waiting: Hopefully, the new board see the signing of good quality players as a better source of publicity than he did

[Mellowhoop]

Well that could be a good tactic but has to be announced today and surely Wigan could sort a tactic out in that space of time... I know how difficult it is for the club.. A fee and a contract is the easy bit... Baffles me though sometimes... Still think hearing nothing at all is the way forward.

Apologies if listed somewhere else, but what is the deadline for playing against Wigan?

[Mellowhoop]

Tony fernandes just tweeted doubt any players will be on for Wigan game... Could be a blag

[Yousef]

No official news on signing Taiwo. Also TF tweeted he does not expect any signing before the Wigan game.

Can't understand why Taiwo needs a work permit,as he spent 5 seasons at Marsaille!

[Mellowhoop]

I've heard he doesnt need a work permit.

[andythefish]

That would be a touch!,just need the deal done pronto!

To play/work in the UK for non EU nationaly he needs a permit. But under the Home Office criteria he meets that which is required. So it is a time/processing issue.

I dont mind waiting a little bit if it will go through.

Now it looks like we've got him my eyes are on Onouha, he's going to be a great player & hopefully for Qpr!
