[Archived] Radosav Petrovic

[Sandiway Blue]

Partizan stating he will depart with them and become a Rovers player today I think. It is from the offical webpage and I tried to translate, but it wasnt easy.

Mada će se pred današnji put za Moskvu Radosav Petrović presvući u orlovsko perje, njega svi računaju kao novog člana Blekburna, pa prvotimaca iz šampionskog sastava više nema na spisku Vladimira Petrovića Pižona. Podatak je razočarao Dragana Đurića do te mere da podiže glas protiv selektora.

Rough translation:

trović change into an eagle feather, it all counts as a new member of the Blackburn and starters from the championship structure is no longer on the list of Vladimir Petrovic Pizon. The data disappointed Dragana Djuric to the point raised his voice against the coach.

[alexanders]

It says new member of Rovers though

[Clitherover]

I see someone's already updated wiki with him being a Rovers player.

[Hughesy]

Hope it is today.....will give him a few days training with the lads.

[alexanders]

FK Partizan official site have removed him from their squad.

[Give 'Em the Axe]

Yeah, I cannot wait for this one to be confirmed. I've done the 'Sven' and checked out all I could on youtube. I'll not be able to get properly excited until we see him holding up the shirt.

N'Nonzi, Petrovic and (dream land) Jermaine 'GI' Jones on loan would be just cracking!

[pancini]

Perhaps Rovers have asked for his visa hearing to be held at same court as Kean so we can kill 2 birds with 1 stone

[OJRovers]

How much have we paid for him in the end?

Russia v Serbia, 16:00 on Wednesday

Russia v Serbia, 16:00 on Wednesday

Has he been named for it?

[philipl]

Has he been named for it?

Hope so if he is to get a Work Permit as a current international.

More to the point, all the international friendlies this week must mean that for quite a few players, pre-season preparation with Rovers is now in effect complete.

[American]

I assume this means the Nico deal will be completed today as well?

[alexanders]

MGP is in the Norwegian squad.

Radosav Petrovic in the squad called up for the game against Russia.

[Al]

Apparently he has not played enough international matches for his country to receive approval to play in the UK immediately. A new meeting is scheduled next week where hopefully he will receive this approval.

According to Wiki he has played 18 times in the last 3 years. 5 of them this year. Couldn't have done much more than that really.

I can see some clubs kicking off when\if their players get injured. Ridiculous timing for a friendly.

[BigUts]

Indeed. We all know how well FIFA is run..,how could they ever make such a cock-up!

[Kamy100]

From what I am told the work permit hearing is tomorrow so this deal has not been finalised yet.

IF its only the WP hearing left I honestly can't see any problems. He was named in the squad for the friendly against Russia and has more national caps than Zoran Tosic when he joined United.

[roversfan99]

If thats all that needs to be done, surely the deal could be wrapped up tomorrow?

[alexanders]

Hope he is raring to go and have been discplined during the waiting period.

Ah but Tosic was joining United. Different set of rules when they're involved.

Not quite true, they have been denied work permits in the past (can't remember who it was) and we have been pretty successful in our past appeals.

Apparently Adem Ljalic. Who was suppose to come together with Zoran Tosic, but instead went to Viola (Fiorentina) a year later.

[dubdubdub]

How many international games is it you need for a work permit? If it's twenty then surely they'll let him in considering his age and considering he's playing the day after his hearing.

Its not how many games, its a percentage (75%) of games in the last two years I think.

Yes, but we had people appealing who knew how to do it correctly, (Freidel was one who we appealed against)
