Chancel Mbemba officially signs for Newcastle Utd

[Murphy's Marvellous Grin]

There's apparently a work permit issue because Dr Congo aren't in the top 50 ranked nations. New fa rules or something.

So any EU slacker earning no money can turn up, yet there's an issue over someone who'll be earning about £40k a week

[beatski]

So is he ever going to be announced then?

[Holystone...]

Those pesky EU slackers are going to tempt the great British public to exit EU.

[Donkey Toon]

Fast! Meh, he's got nothing on Willo.

Not only is he as fast as f***, he's a fantastic header of a ball.

Then I saw his face, Chancel Mbemba
Didn't know his date, of birth when he signed.
I'm in love, I'm a believer.
Chancel Mbemba's 35

[Toondes]

Don't give up your day job.

Reminds me of Janmaat last year. We all know he's signed, but club taking forever to announce it.

Waiting for work permit clearance everything else done and dusted should be done on Monday.

Officially done, waiting on work permit decision, which will be on Thursday

[Ramone]

Impressive that the club have come out and talked publicly about it.

[PTAO?]

The FA advised the Club they were not able to convene a Panel any sooner.

Wonder if it would take 6 days if it were Chelsea or Liverpool.

[Mifune]

What the f*** are the FA doing that means it takes 8 days for them to "convene a panel"?

[Seagull]

What's the likelihood of his work permit being rejected? I don't recall any instances of that happening in the past few years.
