TommyRovers Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Just a formality I believe. Duncan is currently at Ewood for the game. This isn't a repeat of O'Brien. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuinely excited by this one. I’ve read that 3 times and it seems complete gobbledegook. is it just me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They normally do an extended interview with the player on Rovers TV. The rest of the signings are on there, besides McGuires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BankEnd Rover Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Just now, Tom said: Apparently the club not commenting and will provide clarity after the match They wouldn’t want to say it’s fallen through before a big game would they. If there’s nothing to worry about they would say it’s confirmed and just waiting for international clearance. It’s happened again hasn’t it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon so, now JDT not being allowed to attend the press conference makes sense. Edited February 3 by RoversClitheroe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G Somerset Rover Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Us ballsing up another piece of important paperwork on deadline day would be the most rovers thing ever under this lot. When it rains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pick32 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 It will just be international clearance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilsdenrover Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 When McGuire was announced it was subject to international clearance. When Fleck was announced (later) it was subject to EFL approval. Fleck is on the bench today so presumably that approval was given. Based on that, I can’t see how we missed the deadline on McGuire. Someone’s probably just seen he’s not on the bench and assumed (based on our record) that we’ve fucked something up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharpysharps86 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Sounds like its potentially a visa issue, in which case nothing like the O'Brien saga of last January, and it'll mean dealing with a different kind of appeal I imagine. That being said, the lad is at Ewood today. Would be a strange move for him to come along to the game if it really had fallen through. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't expect this to be anything as he seems to be at Ewood for the game which is very different to the situation last season, but if they have managed to balls this up, I agree. Once with something like this is an egregious set of errors, twice can only be deliberate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the moment I can't see this being anything other than a formality but if there's any truth in it it would explain why they're not letting JDT anywhere near a camera. There's only one penny pinching employee who would be kiboshing feals internally IF there's any truth in this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think this is the case — firstly, if you go into the club shop they won’t sell you a McGuire 50 shirt, but also the lack of comment smells of an element of truth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
