Cock out
Glad that is sorted out, this has to be one of the oddest transfers we've ever been involved with.
Weren't we involved with something like this before?, i seem to have a memory from years ago where we signed some player and he couldn't play for ages because of something stupid that we didn't pick up on.
Relieved it's all sorted out now and he can play.
Cannot wait for the QPR game.

What is wrong with Herrera?
I am hoping we absolutely destroy that team. Make a statement of where this team can be.
We'll probably lose now!
he played against Swansea.
Well its going to happen at some point, it HAS to with the attacking players we have now.
I mean I thought he was injured?
he was, should be back for the QPR game.
What a relief!!
Oh and he was good yesterday, especially with keeping possession and not panicking when under pressure!

Great news. Hope he's involved on Sunday.
80% Passing Accuracy. 0/2 long balls went to their address. Jones had 95% passing accuracy, 5/5 long balls on target.
Rojo played as a LB, but I don't think it was one of his better games in terms of possession. He looked a bit off the mark at times in regards to his possession keeping even if he was great defensively.
Great news, can't wait to see him in action.
Given a bit of time that left side of defense could be very solid indeed. Both Rojo and Shaw have pace and strength in abundance.
How long until he picks up an injury in training
Oh please don't - I think I'd actually have a cry if this happens.
My point with Rojo and it works with any defender is that the better defenders we have, and the better they play ..... the more our offense can focus on being offensive.
Rojo, Rojo Rojo, Rojo Rojo, Rojo
Got the permit

Rojo even when pressed by Germany didn't hoof/clear it long, but calmly found a teammate more often than not. Of course it helped that those teammates were as comfortable on the ball. Also Rojo was playing Germany, whereas Jones was playing ???
Don't Chelsea have two players without Visas, Wallace, and some winger?
I said the same in another thread. The fact that Evans and Smalling etc are not great at the moment combined with the panic and nervous hoofing they do, it rubs off on the other players and effects our overall play. Its the reason why we pass back so much, even when not under any pressure.
If our defence was good and the attacking players believed in the defence, they would express themselves and we would destroy many teams.
Would also be interesting to see the %age of passes Rojo made that were forward compared to Jones, it's always easier to have a high passing percentage if you're taking the easy option more often than not.
It might not show anything different but would be interesting nonetheless.
There was a Brazilian defender in the late 90s/early 00s, who we basically did sign but was refused a work permit. Short name, can't quite remember it.
I edited him onto FIFA and everything

Yay excellent news.
Celio Silva ? We bought Berg after that.
That's it. Well done.
And you doubted Woodward's acumen...
Wasn't there a bit of a kerfuffle getting Rafabio across the line too? Or was that Possebon?
According to the bastion of truth that is wikipedia, Rafael and Fabio signed in the January of 2008 but couldn't play until the July when they turned 18 so that may be what you're remembering.
Possebon had an Itallian grandparent or something so I doubt it was him.
Good stuff.
Hope he slots right in, can't wait to see him play In red!
The legend that is Dong 'The Next Batistuta' Fangzhuo? Who couldn't play in the UK because of the work permit and had to be loaned around for ages before he could finally grace us with his presence?
What about Mame Biram Diouf, aka The One? Same issue if my memory serves.
Great news. Looking forward to the QPR game.... let's hope it isn't another Swansea....
Yeah, I mean look at our recent games where our defenders needlessly kept passing the ball to each other and DDG. And have a look at Jones next time, everytime Evans had lots of space but still didn't seem to have a clue what to do with the ball, Jones told him to give it to DDG. Every time he kept pointing to DDG as if Evans doesn't already do it all the time anyway.
Btw, I rate Jones and he is still very young, but he needs to step it up now in order to fulfil his potential. My biggest hope with LvG was that he improves our young players. Now with Welbeck and Lawrence gone I at least hope Jones, Smalling, Evans (not young anymore) and Blackett improve big time
You could call it an argy bargy.WTF ?
I'll be adding that to my vocabulary.

It's an Englishism. I use it a lot. Legacy of 11 years spent in Blighty.
We could have Rojo, Shaw, Blind, Herrera, Di Maria and Falcao playing against QPR. Ha. That's incredible. I'd like to say how unlucky it is for QPR, but knowing us we'll scrape a 1-1 draw.
