If it was a work permit issue he wouldn't be anywhere near London Colney in training gear I wouldn't have thought. The official site also named him in one of the first updates regarding training/medical tests so it must be something else. Perhaps the passport paperwork is stuck in the post or the fax machine has chewed up the last role of paper and Gino & Scott are trying to work it free with a flat headed screwdriver?
Be it work permit issues, Spanish citizenship problems, bad hair dilemmas or whatever the reason young Albert isn't in the squad bio's on the club site, he is at least in the great A.U. of Stria with the rest of the project, err, group... erm, squad. The bad news is players are ostracised if they fail to have the chips and are sent to the play dungeon. Google translate of text: "when you do not have the chips"
I know Austria has mountains but that is strange! A modern day version of how Katie Johnson's house would be if she were a footballer and not a little old lady in the original and sublime 'The Ladykillers'.
The cloth on the table must be a very fine Velcro to keep the balls from rolling to the lower side all the time. Also, is that Alec Guinness in the background?
I just clocked what he means by that picture and comment - the pool table must be one where you need to buy a chip/i.e. a token to play it, and because they don't have one then any balls they pot won't be returned should they fall down the pocket (hence why they stuffed the towels in to the pockets, to prevent the balls from entering the table and not being released back out again).
Some things never change, always did beer towels in the pockets when having lock ins at the pub, usually when at a managed pub as they either didn't have the keys or the table recorded the number of releases and they would expect money to match. Hope they had less beer than I used to. Great to see that Pereyra arrived by luggage trolley, maybe there has been beer involved after all.
have a look at the squad on the club site - all the newbies on in their new kits / even Success made it without resorting to a trip to a brothel- no sign of wonderkid??
He was kicking the ball about on the pitch at half time with some of the players who either came on in the second half or didn't feature (e.g. Deulofeu).
I must confess I don't really know why they aren't showing him in training, when they are showing Rodwell, and we know he is out there. I suspect he will be in the squad to play on Saturday, possibly with a few more of the Spanish speakers so he isn't so lost. Seems from social media he has been spending time with Pereyra and Deulofeu.
Apparently some talk that he got shot in a club in Columbia, even his value has dropped on Fifa go check it out . I hope not
That was a different Peñaranda and he was shot dead. You can tell it's not the same person because he's from a different country (Colombia) and an even bigger clue is that had a different first name (Alejandro). Oh and he's not alive, training in Austria. Although weirdly, our Peñaranda was also shot a few years back too.
Have YOU been shot to death in an accident at work? Call NOW for £££££££'s in compensation. MILLIONS of pounds lay unclaimed but now YOU can get what you're ENTITLED to. Just like Mr Housego of Woking, "I was going about my work at the paper-clip company when BANG! I was dead! But thanks to Shyster & Snake-Oil we've been recompensed handsomely." Or Mrs Tipperton of Bognor Regis, "In the laundrette doing a service wash of Mr Rowley-Jones' unmentionables I suddenly found myself laying face down in a pool of my own blood. Just terrible it was. But one telephone call to Shyster & Snake-Oil and I was living in an undead Utopia." So ring NOW if you've suffered HORRIFIC gun shot wounds leading to DEATH. call Shyster & Snake-Oil on 0151 556 1878
Having read this advert through several times, I believe it may be a scam. I would advise forum members to be wary of calling this number.
Very good. You've obviously done this sort of thing before ! Interesting you picked the name "Housego"
I reached a Mr Baszeeni, apparently a successful serial entrepreneur, who offered me a cut of his highly profitable claims business for a small up front investment. Sounded too good to be true.
I suspect that our Penaranda is a future saviour of the human race in the future war against the machines and a Terminator is going through the phone book and killing all the A. Penaranda’s, one by one . Considering Arnie is from Austria I would say that we need to get Penaranda out of the training camp quick . I don’t think Gino thought this through properly .
Maybe Gino is Arnie. No need to kill him when you have him this close, just continue sending him on **** loans that prevent his talent from shining thus preventing the actual future from happening: Following his winning goal for the Hornets in the 2025 Champions League final and 4 goal haul in 2026 World Cup final secure the title his popularity in Venezuela will be such that he becomes president of the country in 2047. Largely due to technological warfare between the super powers Adalberto follows a back to basics strategy where Venezuela moves back to traditional manufacturing and farming methods, keeping the masses employed and the nation self sufficient, thus by the mid 2050's the machines are all but extinct throughout the country. Obviously they can't have that, hence sending Gino back. All the negative Penaranda comments on here are from the robots that we all know frequent the forum, we even count how many are online, all propaganda to prevent his future political career. B*astards.
Are they showing Rodwell? I've not seen anything that actually corroborates the story that he's training with us Edit: just seen the video linked in the Rodwell thread. Probably should have looked there first...
Assuming he's injured already - I'm guessing this is why he hasn't been seen in the training vids yet (unless I missed him)??
