Another deal done
Confirmed by CCFC
Nice to see a permanent deal, gut feeling is it’s a good deal but let’s wait and see.
We never had a proper mention of the new keeper. Hear are his comments and those of the manager.
"I’m really excited to be here. It’s a massive Club here in Wales. I spoke to a lot of people about the Club before coming and they had nothing but positive things to speak about. They have history in the Premier League.
"The manager has ambitions, he has a plan and I’m really looking forward to being part of that. I’m going to do my best to help the Club reach their goals and ambitions."
A delighted Erol Bulut commented: “He is an international player with USA and got promoted from the Championship with Luton Town & Nottingham Forest. He knows the league and that is important for a goalkeeper. Right now, with Jak Alnwick and Horvath, we have two great goalkeepers.
“It’s important, you can not only have loan players. You have to sign permanent players. I think the next few years, the goal is safe here at Cardiff City.”
My grandaughter's partner is a big Forest fan and he says that we're getting a very good shot stopper, but he's not good with his feet. All in all, a very good Championship keeper.Quote:

Must be a work visa thing as he’s a US citizen and changed employer, which negates his previous visa.Quote:

some to do with international clearance id have thought
Can't do that until he signs with us as we now become his sponsor. Takes about 3 weeks.Quote:

I bet that he's currently not actually being paid at the moment, but he'll probably get back pay when he receives clearance.
Wasn't there a similar issue with Clint Dempsey?
Get the shovel out of your shed:hehe:Quote:

Surely it needs to be put back in the shed (the shovel)?Quote:

If it’s anything like my work you need to prove to the UK government that no one else in the UK can perform that specific role to an acceptable standard
Maybe just send them a few clips of Runar Runnarsson and that should get things moving
Ha, where have I gone wrong here?
My understanding was that there's an issue with his Visa which is at no fault of the club.
Is there not a problem after all?
It is no fault of the club, we agreed terms with him last October:hide:Quote:
