' Announcements of new players '

Tue Jan 07, 2014 11:47 am

The media have just been told they might not announce the signings of the new players today.

There were 4 potential new players staying at the Vale and the Norwegian media have been told there could be a couple of days delay in announcing them.




All the Media were also waiting today for the Announcements, then at 10am this morning City cancelled it till further notice.

Is the delay anything to do with International clearance perhaps, or am I just being thick? :oops: :)

Probably something to do with work visas or something like that

Hope they get sorted soon and especially Eikrem's, as we may need him on Saturday, especially if Mutch is still injured! :ayatollah:

So, to summarise, 2 deals are definitely done but the club refuse to announce it until these other 2 unknown players may sign?

Struggling to understand the reasoning here?

Can't see where it says that 2 deals have definitely been completed? :?

Numerous posts yesterday said the medicals are complete and the 2 players trained with the others yesterday????

Then again, the club MIGHT announce the double deals today - nobody really knows!

Let's focus on finding out who the other 2 Norwegian players are who are staying in the Vale??? Let investigations begin because this is breaking news!

As I posted earlier though, perhaps the club is waiting on international clearance, or maybe work permits!

I also can't see where it says that the other 2 potential signings are Norwegian either, except in your post! :? :)

it doesn't say another 2 Norwegian players are signing, it just says 2 more players (no nationality stated)

The other two players might not be Norweigan

Steve Tucker has apparently posted on Twitter, that the 2 signings will be announced today!

Don't do Twitter, so I can't post the link!

Sorry, my mistake - let's find out who the 2 other players are then!

No international clearance required for a European player was my understanding?

But it is very interesting that there are 2 more players at the Vale RIGHT NOW - who can they be?

Hmmmm

"was told yesterday they would be announced today. Whether that requires a press con or not is another question."

I live in Beddau but got to do an afternoon shift today....

Will ask a few friends who work in the Vale for information!

International clearance is required for any player switching national associations. Work permits are required for players from outside the European Economic Area. Therefore, Norwegian players only need International clearance.

Re: ' Announcements of new players '

Norwegians do not need work permits ( http://www.workpermit.com/uk/work_permit/who_needs.htm ) but I think they still need international clearance from the football authorities but as to the nationality of the others well only time will tell. It could also be that other aspects of the deal are still being negotiated. On the plus side it is nice to be discussing positive things rather than the circus we became in December
