📝 Alassana Jatta Signs

[ForeignLegion]

The visa stuff could have started a couple of days ago?
Forget that, looks like it takes three weeks.

It could've started 3 weeks ago

Our first signing from the Gambia - quite a coup.

One caveat is that he seems to have been used only as a sub this season

He was stopped from playing at West Ham in 2022. That seems nuts to me. Top level European competition and a team cannot bring its full squad over...

Ha ha don't mention that word in Gambia

[lunaspie]

And we didn't sign him for peanuts.

Looks a good signing gives other options like others have said welcome Jatta.

Ha Ha. I think their stake in Viborg is quite small but I would not be at all surprised if there was some creative accounting done to put Notts in the driving seat to make the signing. Just fantastic to have some forward options not just the usual 2 marvelous as they are. Morias and Randall out on loan please ASAP.

I read that they're part of an investment group that owns a majority stake (so at least 50%) of the club. Not sure what being part of an investment group means though and how many other people are involved, but as this transfer has shown, it definitely gives us an advantage in any transfer dealings with Viborg.

Any visa experts out there have any idea how long it might take for him to get clearance? Are we talking days or weeks?

These highlights show a lot of facets to his game. The assists at 4:50 and after catch my eye. He'll be able to set up Maca

I like the look of this guy. He reminds me of a lower league Victor Oshimen.

Sounds very promising & coupled with the news that Macca remains gives me hope for the rest of the season. COYP
