Formica IS here...wonder how he is going to get round the passport problem.

Still, it's a decent result if it is sorted out.

If the only problem is that his passport had expired then it is hardly a major setback. I don't know what European passport he holds, but he would be able to replace it within 48-72 hours and in all likelihood much faster than that (I'm sure paying the extra couple of hundred pounds to get it within 24 hours is something that we would be able to afford).

So everything else(fee,contract & ownership) has been sorted and the passport is the only hurdle left now Nicko?

Surely if it is just a case of his Italian passport expiring, it can be renewed? Assuming that is what the problem is.

[Eddie]

Signing Formica is a major achievement. That's not because he is certain to be a success, but simply because Kean was obviously interested in him and it is good to be able to back the manager up and bring in his targets.

[herbergeehh]

Sorry to ask the same question, Nicko, but when you say 'here' you mean in Blackburn - to meet with Blackburn?

Could you expand on the situation - how close is he to signing?

BREAKING NEWS!!!!

Formica set to fly in for talks with Rovers in the morning!

Rovers went back in for the young star with an improved bid to snatch him from the jaws of French club Manoco

Hope Rovers keep to their word and grab him............

Good work Unleaded.

The fee seems to have been agreed with Newell's and the people who have a share in the player in Argentina [this is quite common before the hysterics start wielding their Guardians about].

The contract would be for four years.

I don't know whether he is bought or owned by Rovers or whoever.

But the Premier League and the FA will check through that as they do with all deals.

The passport thing seems the only missing link.

Hope the lad is worth the fuss.

It´s been a lot of fuss indeed. Young lad from South America needs time to adjust the game and life in England.

Ta Nicko,much appreciated!

The lad has been at the training ground, all concerned seem to think it will happen.

[Hi Mack]

Medical as we speak for Formica..............Does that mean fees agreed etc?

[trs]

Top work as always.

Good to have the both of ya on here IMO

[The Rover of Finland]

Nicko, after Formica and maybe Rochina also would you expect more signings? Have you heard possible names lately whom wouldn´t have mentioned here? Thanks in advance.

Read a couple of posts above

[Sverre]

According to nicky, on the previous page, yes, all parties have agreed on fees etc.

What remains as pointed out is the medical and the passport issue.

Hope we seal the deal!

If you end up with Roque [loan], Jones [loan], Formica [buy], Rochina [buy] and this Brazilian kid Roniele [buy] it would be a very healthy window.

Larsson would look less likely now - but still probable for the summer.

You would have a healthy top-ten shot with that group on board. And the bank would not be broken.

Come summer you will move out a few and address the striker/ midfield sitter vacancies that would result in Roque and Jones going back after their loans - if that is to be the outcome.

The time to break down all of the figures and judge is still February 1 but it seems to havelurched forward quite well in the past few days.

How can he be in the country if he doesn't have a passport?

Good point Eddie,it's good to see the money men backing Keano.

[rovers1995]

Nicko, whats happening with Chris Samba? Do you think he will sign a new contract or not?

Still talking, figures to be agreed but the latest word is he is likely to sign up.

He probably have an Argentinian passport. Its his italian passport that there is a problem with.
