[CONFIRMED] Mauro Zarate

Apparently he's serving a one match ban before signing on Wednesday. If he signs now, he won't be able to play against Millwall on Sunday

 

Doesn't he have the option to go on a speed awareness course instead?

Or doesn't that apply to swarthy foreign types, since Brexit?

 

I went on a speed awareness course at the Mercure on the A41. It was very good.

 

I think it is the first of 3 matches - then he gets a muscle imbalance

 

I've been on two.

The one in Bournemouth let us keep the crayons.

I've eaten them all now though obviously, it was ages ago.

 

Got a free copy of the highway code and a speed limit keyring on mine, worth the fee alone!

 

The reason this hasn't happened is because we're not interested and never were. Close thread and move on.

 

A good analysis here:-

Sounds more positive than I expected him to be after the intro

 

If it doesn't happen on Wednesday it's off.... hopefully he will come with a point to prove at get his head down

 

Video of the goal mentioned in the article:

This may come as a surprise but Zarate won't actually sign for us until after Fiorentina's game tomorrow for which he is suspended. This then means he'll then be eligible to play for us against Millwall.

As always you heard it here first.

 

An ex-Spam player against Millwall? That should be fun

 

This would not work unfortunately as Holebas would be far too slow walking around the many and splendid sights of Florence and would be trampled to death by the multitudes of Japanese tourists.

In any case this transfer seems to be taking an inordinate amount of time. I wish I knew why.

 

I got stuck between 2 BMW driving sales reps who did nothing but brag/lie about how much pxssy they got and how fast they drive down the motorway. It was enough to bore a man to suicide. Ive never the broken speed limit since.

 

I think we are waiting for him to serve a suspension - I've heard that it won't go through until Wednesday, for that reason. Not sure if that means he will be available for Millwall - does anybody know ?

 

Does anyone kniw why he hasn't signed for us yet? The fact it's taken so long is surely a sign that he's not coming.

 

I'm getting reports, he'll be suspended for the big clash at millwall but will be OK to play against Wednesday!

 

I think someone mentioned it earlier.

 

Link ffs?

I read on a site, but I can't remember which one, that the reason for the delay of his transfer is another Pozzo bit of "jiggery pokery"

He has a 3 match ban hanging over his head for being sent off in a recent Italian Cup match and in Italy the ban only applies to Cup matches. Apparently his current team has a Cup match on Wednesday, so we are delaying the transfer until after that game so he can use that match as one of the 3. However, we are unsure if the other two games will have to be cup games over here or not, but if not he will miss Millwall (which of course is a cup game anyway) and Arsenal.

 

Photo or it didn't happen

 

Thanks VoR. Did the site happen to tell you why the transfer has been delayed and his availability for the cup game on Sunday?

 

You're saying he hasn't signed yet?

FFS :dismay:

 

He's got a two game ban from the African Cup of Nations so won't be available until the FA Cup Quarter Final against Arsenal.

 

Ah, thanks for clearing up.

 

If he doesn't sign by Wednesday, does anyone know whether that will affect his classification as home grown?

 

Yeah, he'll only be able to be signed as a semi-home grown player so will have to spend half of the games as home grown and the other as a foreigner but I think he's got some Scottish in him so might be able to exploit a pozzo loop hole

 

I think he's spend the summer as home grown and the winter in Hades where he will be a swan until the moonlight hits the lake, or he gets kissed by Shrek and turns into Fiona. Or something.

 

I have looked into this and provided he goes ahead with the plan to change his name to Billy Sharp and clones finger prints DNA and teeth then i see no problem

 

I don't think it would make any difference as he spent his summer holidays in Skegness last year, so is already HG.

 

So what if we sign him Wednesday but he doesn't play Sunday or Tuesday?
