PatReilly · 10/12/2015 8:22 pm

Reports saying he's signing next week: still not confident about the keeper for the Thistle game then.

lifesanocean · 10/12/2015 9:12 pm

Great that it is almost sorted out. Hope folk are patient with the lad. Its not his fault this has taken this long. People online saying he must be some sort of messiah.

hopefully see him in goal up Inverness

hope he is worth the wait!

There must have been a change then. I can tell you 100 percent that Shunsuke Nakamura spoke almost zero English when in Scotland.

shocking stuff, no wonder there is hardly any players from outside the EU playing if it takes this long to get them through all the red tape.

japanarab · 16/12/2015 10:39 am

Okazaki didn't have to do this. I reckon it's a wind up. Add to the fact that he advertises an English course here and it's gotta be a wind up.

English exam? Honestly what a fkn joke.

A simple Skype with the boy or video message from the boy would prove he can speak not just English but several languages (apparently).

Fair play to the laddie for hanging on for us.

Getting angry now at how much hoops the boy and the club are being made to jump through. Ludicrous.

The boys a seasoned pro who's played in World Cup's fs not some journeyman amateur who's turned up with just his passport and boots.

Beardy23 · 16/12/2015 10:52 am

English exam? Ehm hearing fae meh in the know contacts that he's signed up tae mad tae swot up fir it. FACT

japanarab · 16/12/2015 11:10 am

Just spoke to a professor who arranges work placements in the UK for Japanese nationals and he said he's never heard of the like!

WeeDude_83 · 16/12/2015 11:33 am

Home office have a fucking cheek. Half of the country canna speak fucking English.

japanarab · 16/12/2015 11:51 am

Who did it come from? I smell major bull. Maybe he's wanting more time with the newborn and family?

bowers · 16/12/2015 12:10 pm

Mixu has said it in press

arabchanter · 16/12/2015 12:14 pm

If this is standard criteria, surely the club should have known this and had it in place to save time.?
