[Archived] Nikola Kalinic

[Al]

Think its on Thursday

That's ridiculous! Why is it taking so long? If he doesn't get his permit how many games will he have missed for his current team?

[LeChuck]

I'm pretty sure someone (unleaded?) said the hearing was today.

Iceman's possibly got the days mixed up as the initial date for the hearing was last Thursday.

Allardyce said: “We will put up a very good case of course. We have a very, very good chance with a very, very talented player.

“He should be allowed to come and express his abilities in this country and show what he can do.

“He has a terrific goal scoring record. He is only 21 and scores one goal every 1.6 games. That is why we have forked out as much money as we have.”

Great news. Although not really in doubt. Just a shame he didn't have a chance to play in the pre-season games.

Any reserve games coming up he could feature in or straight into the squad for the weekend!

Short and sweet. Why haven't they said "officially signed"?

Anyway, looks as if he's here, which is great news. Let's get him in the side for Saturday.

Welcome to Ewood Nickola, hope you have a long, happy and successful stay at Rovers.

I expect they'll be doing the shirt printing/final touches before putting up the "Signed Sealed and Delivered" message on the official site.

[A cup of beans]

regarding a song for him how about a return to the tune we had for bellamy a few years back!

"kaa lin nic.... kaa lin ic ?"

we'll have to make him feel welcome... he's used to the torcida!

[The Rover of Finland]

Huges hopes for this guy. He should start right away because we surely haven´t scored much on preseason.
