Didn't they pay 300,000 euros, (?250,000) when they signed him?

Yeah, something like that.

Cracking, can never have too many African strikers!

Can't wait for you to blame Brexit if his visa is delayed.

About 100,000 Guineas for the Guinean.

Every now and again I feel like you're capable of an actual discussion.

I do somewhat agree with where you're coming from, but more often than not players of colour often are referred to by their traits - what they are - rather than who they are, it's one of those things where you'd not call a white player that as casually as a black player and it's where it stems from.

It's been a common thing in sports for years and really has been considered more in the past four years a bit stronger than it used to be.

Here's a paper where someone was quoted way back in 1987 as to why beastial terms are subtly racist.

Basically... Victor Wanyama would likely be called a 'beast' but Sam Vokes would be called a 'unit'

You've never seen 'the chase ' then.
Welcome to the beast 💪

I'm not sure of the details and may be wrong, but isn't the fact he needs a visa down to Brexit?

Unless he has EU settlement no. Pre Brexit he?d have to get a VISA as a none EU national.

I'm quite excited about this - I read he signed for Fredrikstad for 300k, if we keep Jatta them both linking up could be something special

And drop who?

I think he has to fight for a place because nobody deserves to be dropped on current form. He'll get a game when McG needs a rest but really can't see how it's going to fit in?

As he's African, he'd need a visa anyway as we were never in Schengen so no, you can't blame Brexit this time I'm afraid.
