Peebo Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Honestly for me it's time to cut this deal and aim for another target. Dragged on far too much and won't be anywhere near ready for the start of the season. How many seasons in the past have we had a player who had a non existant pre season and for the duration of that season we've gave them the benefit of the doubt. "If only they had been given a good pre season" or "next season we'll see the best of him after a full pre season" Really hope I'm proved wrong in this one Good grief.

If you read the link from Clerry Jambo you will see that the delay is in this country and he is hoping that the visa will be granted tomorrow Friday. He says he has been in cinstant contact with the club and they are putting pressure on the authorities to try and speed things up.

wavydavy Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 For anyone that can't open the link, here it is. Oshaniwa Expects UK Visa Friday 16 JUL 2015 NEWS By Sab Osuji: Super Eagles left-back, Juwon Oshaniwa has revealed he?s expecting to get his UK visa on Friday as he hopes to join up with his new Scottish side, Hearts. Juwon called time on his Ashdod of Israel contract following the team?s relegation to the lower league at the end of last season despite still having one season remaining on his contract with the club. After completing a switch to the Scottish Premier League side, Oshaniwa is yet to join up with the club following delay in securing the Scotland entry document. ?I?ve been in constant touch with Hearts officials and they have been assuring me they are putting pressure on the British embassy to hasten up the process of issuing me a visa?, Oshaniwa told Complete Sports on Wednesday. ?Even this (Wednesday) morning, we spoke but you know this is not something you just get like that no matter the pressure. ?I?ve been told it takes about 10 working days to get the visa processed and if this is not the case, then I?m expecting it to be ready on Friday this week?, the former Sharks defender said.

West Jambo Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Am i right in thinking the games that he would definitely miss (should he be included in the Nigeria squad for ACN) would be: 17th Oct Dundee Utd (Away) - ACN Qualifier vs Burkino Faso (16/17 or 18th Oct) 24th Oct Ross County (Home) - ACN Qualifier vs Burkino Faso (23/24 or 25th Oct) 16th Jan Motherwell (Home) - ACN (16th Jan - 7th Feb) 23rd Jan Hamilton (Away) - ACN 30th Jan Ross County (Away) - ACN Not sure how early the squad would be gathered and therefore how other games would be affected. For me, in the grand scheme of things it's not bad given we have McHattie as cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Treasurer Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 The laddie is a Nigerian internationalist, people really expect him to be unfit and at a disadvantage because of a 'lack of pre-season'? Deary me. Not unfit but he will be unfamiliar with his team mates and the system that RN wants to play. I think people underestimate the impotance of "match fitness" as opposed to general fitness. It seems strange to me that other clubs and English clubs seem to bring players in from all over the world with no problems or delays but we always seem to hit obstacles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems strange to me that other clubs and English clubs seem to bring players in from all over the world with no problems or delays but we always seem to hit obstacles Your wording probably explains the situation. They 'seem to'. You just won't notice it when players struggle to get signed up because it's not very interesting and you won't pick up on it, but do when it's hearts. Google has 10million returns for 'protracted transfer' for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maroon tinted glasses 2 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 You will also notice further down on the same link that Nigerian striker Brown Ideye who was bought by WBA last year for ?10 million also faced the issues when trying to get a UK visa so it is clearly a common occurance. I am still confident it will go ahead however like most on here want it done asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
