So looks like Pedro is making a move for a Mexican that has never played outside Mexico. who made a big money move to another Mexican side and could not settle. Seems like a big risk to spend money on bringing him to freezing cold Scotland then don't it?

Without putting anymore of a dampener on it sharpy there's not many South American type players managed to settle in Scotland over the years but hopefully we can be proved wrong if we do manage to sign him

Will need a work permit and currently he doesn't meet the criteria

Bengy, he does meet the criteria or is very close to it, he shouldn't find it difficult getting a work permit.

Some people saying that it may not to be good to sign the lad Pena is strange to personally

1. Because we really needed Ped to open up his book of contacts.

2. Spl players on there own will just have us chasing shadows again against Celtic.

3. Do some people just the same old English dross that bread man brought in. Unimaginative failures.

Me I'm all for it, give me alves, cardoso, and Pena any day of the week.

Yes there's a risk, but it's a far cry from breadmans dross and remember these are all players that have played for international sides, which are way ahead of Scotland, maybe cardoso less so- and play at a much better standard domestically.

I could may well be proved wrong but at least we are giving something different a try - for me refreshing.
ONLY TIME WILL TELL.

If we could pull of alves, we'll tbh that's the one that excites me the most despite the guys age.

Pena unsettled and yet he denies these claims and over the past 2 seasons has made 69 league appearances scoring 18 goals from midfield with 7 yellows and no reds. Good stats for someone who is 'unsettled'.

see if we where buying from the championship and league 1 the same people would come on and slaqte the manager for that too.

before the end of season most people where saying buy scottish and add a few foreigners well that is what it looks like he is doing.

he won't please everyone but hopefully he can make us a team to be feared again.

warburtons signings where okay for the championship but here we need international players.

bengy what made u say pena doesn't meet the criteria for a work permit.

was it just something u thought so just posted it or is there any evidence behind that statement? (doubt it)

There was something in one of the papers the other day about him only playing 2 games for Mexico in the last few years which meant he didn't make the criteria for a work permit. Also think his agent has been quoted as saying that the permit is an issue they hope to overcome.

Work permits shouldn't be a problem for us lads. Wee secret handshake with the officials and it will be sorted 😜
