It wasn't made up, I am not prepared to reveal how I know, but @Davefevsknows my source is impeccable, he was at the HPC yesterday having a fitness test.

Fair enough, just seems a really strange one if the reason it has fallen through is because of work permits/visa issues. Surely that should all have been looked at first.

I prefer Port Said Red’s source, rather than Jamesbcfc on this one.

So does this mean that the signing is still on? Is a fitness test not tied in with a medical?

If the two people who told me what they know are right, then yes.  I’m just a messenger (at best).

Another OTIB poster heard the same as you but from a different source to yours, which is encouraging.

Iknow nothing, but my gut feel from my WP calcs is that he passes….

maybe today is the day he signs???

@Davefevs

Is this now dead in the water or just a hiccup in the transfer that will be resolved?

No idea.

But my guess is that Work Permit paperwork isn’t an overnight process.

Apparently a slight administrative error in his passport at Heathrow

City are sending representative out to Rwanda , to see him , and try and resolve the matter

Thanks. I assume the first sentence is fact and the second is a reference to the sad way our government deals with people.

No fella , it was just a joke - I have zero knowledge

With the camp now in Austria, information is going to be hard to access.

Has it been moved from Rwanda then ?

Sounds from this like it’s a done deal….https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/nigel-pearson-bristol-city-transfer-7258482

I don't think that's new info.

It’s not, but neither are they backtracking when it appeared to be out of date.

Seems weird how quiet this one has gone?

Surely it suggests this is not going to happen or maybe never was.

[RedRoss]

Obviously I've got no idea like the rest of us but I reckon when we gave Will Buse another year this deal was dead. I could be wrong but just my feeling.

Wasn't that offered before Bajic?

Bajic would replace OLeary as our number two, with OLeary going on loan. Buse will remain 3rd choice.

Buse was offered his year as part of the released / retained announcement, so some time before the interest in Bajic.  I’m not convinced the two are linked.

My thinking is that Buse is competing with Wiles-Richards, and that Harv may be going on another progressive loan after Gloucester last season, and that Will will become 3rd choice first team and u23 keeper this season.

If Bajic comes in, O’Leary will be moved on.

Thats my logic anyway.

Too quick for me.

Brevity is your friend.

Prolixity, on the other hand, May tend to delay the finalisation of your responses and fail to ameliorate the chances of your being first past the post in a competitive situation.

I wouldn't lose sleep if this had fallen through to be honest. If it was between Bajic or Wilson/Naismith/Klose resigning I'd have gone against Bajic every time. Happy with Bents at one and Max at two.

Or we could just be waiting for a work permit.

Could be, although as training camp is in Austria and he’s an EU citizen…he could partake in the training camp.  I wanted to put the “” emoji after it….but I am purely guessing.

Does it take that long. And don't other clubs announce signings subject to getting a permit. Any way I hope you are right.

If Dave is right and he only just makes the requirement, we might be arguing the toss with the Home Office? 

[Rudolf Hucker]

If we announce his signing before the work permit is finalised he could quickly find himself a Rwandan international.

Are you by any chance related to Stanley Unwin
