Daily Star via BBC Gossip still reporting a "visa delay". WTF is going on, or not going on? Something must be different in his case. Worry is that if his work permit falls through, we might have missed out on getting another player in that mould.

Its hardly a long delay, these things can sometimes be held up on the daftest of things

The home office is an absolute shambles of a department

Sent my daughters first UK passport to our old address - despite me sending them a letter saying we had sold our house and moved to new address

When I spoke to them on the phone they said they didnt have a record of that letter

When I picked up my daughters passport from the lady that bought my house...opened it up, in the 'evidence' they returned was that very letter.

New Brexit regime making difficult for all non-EUs.

Is that working on the theory that he wouldn't be working "in the UK" for our away games?

I must admit, I considered that previously but thought it might have been a silly question.

Maybe time to just abandon this deal and look elsewhere, he's missed about 5 game's now that we could have done with him.

He passed a medical on the 28th of July, most paper's reported he was signing around that date aswell.

Would we not have to pay off his contract if he’s signed?

Quite possible actually, meaning were also paying just now for a guy that can't play.

[Green Man]

If he’s not got a work permit, would that not preclude us from paying him?

Unsure as hibs have stated he is a registered hibs player, he must be getting paid from someone .....

[Callum_62]

If he has no WP - we cannot be paying him

No we're not. Deals not complete until the visa goes through.

just because he passed a medical then doesnt mean he would have signed then, seems strange the club would wait almost 2 weeks to announce his signing if he had signed then

out of interest why would uefa allow hibs to register a player for europe that is still registered to man city ? And why would hibs have an article on the official club website stating thomas agyepong has completed his registration if hes still at man city ? ( what does completed his registration mean ? ) thanks in advance

He is registered under UEFA rules, but can't play under the law.

If the guy is non EU then the Brexit process will surely have no effect on his application as the criteria remains the same for non EUs as it was before the referendum. I would imagine that it is EU applicants who will have problems as the Home Office won't a torrent of folk scrambling to get in before Brexit changes the current procedures.

It took at least 14 days for the work permit of Rangers signing Umar Sadiq to be completed so hopefully Agyepong is sorted by the 22nd of August.

Yeah I'm replying to the folk that are saying he's still a man city player and won't b costing us anything just now as the loan deals not complete, if that's the case then surely we can't register him for our squad until the deals complete.

How much of his wage are Hibs paying?

When Man City loan players to NAC Breda (Agyepong's previous loan club), they cover 100% of the wage as well as paying the dutch club a development fee for each player.

I'm just wondering if these experts that are telling me the deals not done yet can explain how we managed to register a player whose deals not done yet ?? Thanks in advance

Man city have a deal with breda, we don't have a deal with man city, we paid a percentage of barkers wage and wel be doing the same here.

It sounds as though many posters believe he will be a permanent fixture in the first team. I'm surprised because while he has pace to spare he doesn't look as though he is a complete player to me and I thought he was being signed more for cover than anything else, I'm obviously wrong going by the posts above.

If he doesn't have a visa to work then we can't pay him. It's simple really.

You told me the deals not complete, I'm just asking you now how we've managed to register a play for Europe whose deal we've not completed ? It's simple really

Not sure how much Hibs will pay or be paying but having a look on the Home Office website seems to suggest that for a Tier 2 Sportsperson's visa the applicant must be sponsored by the team/agency he is working for. Hibernian FC are a registered Home Office sponsor. The registered sponsor must be able to give the applicant at least £945 to cover costs for a month if needed.

So I would imagine if City are not paying him, then we can give him the £945 needed to satisfy the Home Office.

and could Man City give Hibs the £945 to cover our contribution to the player?
