JR Bellegarde

[Mr Dougan's Elbow]

KDB won't come to us.

Kķ

Strangely his name is what I used to fondly call my box for playing cricket!

Oh dear, I hope your posting name was not derived from an unfortunate incident when the box you mention was hit by a very fast cricket ball.

 

[Muscat]

Not a direct comparison as obviously Nunes was playing in a better league, but Bellegarde outperformed him last season in take-ons, successful take-ons, carries, carrying distance, progressive carrying distance, progressive carries, carries into the final 3rd and carries into the penalty area.

Obviously not guaranteed to be as good as him but on paper looks an excellent like-for-like replacement.

 

[Topcat]

But will GON know what to do with him?

That kind of goes with most of our recent signings, which Hobbs seems to know best?
I doubt Gary has a clue how most of them will fit in, but I’m sure he’ll do his best until he is possibly replaced in January!
I hope I’m soooo wrong!

 

[SilverstoneWolf]

Actually he is not injured. He has just gone on strike until the Mancs relent and let him come to us for 50p.
Not a lot of people know that.

Crikey - another ITK to worry about...

If our contingent are still on the way there then how is this deal going to get done in time?

You only have to put paper work in before 11.....and you get an extension if required ...it's 4/5 hours I think.....as long as both clubs signature and the players signature are in....

It will take time and that we must give him to get these players to gel. If we can hold on for the first part of the season then the second half should see us through.

They aren’t queuing for 3 hrs for an easyJet flight. Chill. And they left about 5 hrs ago for a very short flight.

Cheers. I think the French window closes at 10pm unless I am wrong.

I think the medical will consist of checking for a pulse.

 

[SmiffyWolf]

Surprised Chelsea don't have FFP issues .

Apparently the minibus broken down as the got off the ferry. So this one will be a tight call

Stop panicking.....it will be fine....I doubt they would have gone all that way if it wasn't going to get done....it will be just a case of paperwork I reckon...

 

[old wittonian]

A flight from Birmingham landed at Strasbourg about ten minutes ago PTN878. Perhaps Hobbs and the Wolves group were on-board.
The plane was a Pilatus PC24. Capacity is about 8 people.
PTN 879 scheduled to depart Strasbourg tomorrow morning at 10am for Birmingham. Is this the group returning?

B****r heard there’s a train strike, passport control are having a tea break and luggage control are currently checking some funny objects being carried over and they cannot get to ground on time.

And it doesn’t matter about the French closing time, it’s the buying team cut off that’s important.

It’ll be done I’m sure.

I've already closed our French windows

 

[nomadwolf]

Per BBC...

"Premier League clubs only have to get a deal sheet in with the Premier League by the 23:00 BST deadline and they have extra time then to get the deals finalised.

So we could still be sitting here at 3am waiting for Wolves to confirm the signing of that Strasbourg fella."

 

[JayStringer]

Correct. You can get an extension if the deal is agreed but the paperwork not completed.

 

[Kashmire Hawker]

The Deal Sheet - if submitted before 11pm, can give us an extra 2 hours for International transfers.

So if put it through to be on the safe side at 10:30pm, the club will have till 12:30am to get it done.

 

[HICKO]

Same here, it’s my nightly husband role ;-)

 

[meeee67]

Do they actually carry the money in a big Tesco's carrier bag on the plane and then hand it over?

Asda..never Tescos

 

[Eastyorksyeltz]

Same here, it’s my nightly husband role ;-)

Could have more demanding ones I suppose.

 

[Eastyorksyeltz]

Anything but Tesco's, even now they've dropped the blue and white stripes they're still tainted.

Oh well. Beers are ready.

And with 2 goals and 2 assists in 3 games so far this season, his end product might be better too!

There is many a good tune played on an old fiddle

 

[Oldgoldilox]

Strasbourg are 5th in the table with 2 wins and 1 draw. Struggling seems harsh, lol. I wish we were struggling if that's the case!

They've played three games this season. They hovered just above the relegation places all of last season.

 

[Hawkguy]

Reading their forums, most posters would have rather sold Diarra than Bellegarde. So it looks like we saved a bunch of money and got the better (right now) player.

Obviously Diarra is young and has a ton of potential, but Bellegarde is the one who will help us move up the table today.

 

[Timberwolf]

Valuable survival experience.

The French transfer window closed at 22:00 BST, so fingers crossed all the necessary paperwork was done in time!

 

[Coshamwolves]

But will GON know what to do with him?

Yeah sure you do

Their window is irrelevant,

It’s the buying clubs window that’s important, Even then it’s only a deal sheet that needs handing in.
