What is the likelihood of the international clearance being received in time for him to be in tomorrow’s squad?

depends if he needs to quarantine as some reports have him as being at Schalke for training

I think elite athletes are allowed to avoid quarantine if they are abroad for training purposes, not sure if that applies for an extended christmas break though.

but maybe he's already done his 10 days since then

Have we any strikers in the academy that we can reliably throw into the first team at this stage of the season.

We have Lewis Jamieson sitting on the bench every week. Heard good things about the lad.

It's a start. Lets not be hasty. 

[Sonny 9,292]

Considering the boy has hardly had a runout with seconds to go I don't think anyone is being hasty.

Welcome aboard Collin.

Welcome to Scotland and The Saints Collin

Presumably holds a non EU passport as its difficult to see how he would get a work permit otherwise.

ETA According to wiki one of his parents is Ghanaian so that might be the route in.

Hi all- Huddersfield fan here.

Where to start with Collin, he was a big cult hero for us but hasn't played a great deal in the last 2 full seasons- had a hip injury that kept him out most of last season and our formation couldn't really accommodate him in the season before that. He's not particularly like any player I've ever seen, the closest I could get is Danny Welbeck in that they're both so ungainly and clumsy on the ball, but manage to confuse defenders enough for it to be effective.

Despite being 6 foot 3 he's not a target man at all, one of the worst headers of the ball I've seen, and while he puts himself about he's very gangly and not as strong as someone of his size should be. He can go from the sublime to ridiculous while on the ball, but his vision and use of space can be absolutely top class (although it was very overlooked by our fans). Actually topped our assists chart in our first season in the Premier League, and was surprisingly effective as a winger that year. If you play him up front though he can lead the line on his own fine as he's a very hard working player.  

I'd expect him to take a while to get up to speed, and I have some reservations about whether he'll ever reach the same standard as a few years ago- in his few appearances towards the end of last season he wasn't as mobile as before. But I can guarantee he'll give his all and will be a great person to have in the dressing room, everyone here adored him- fans and teammates alike.

I hope you enjoy having him as much as we did and I'll be looking out for your results- I noticed another ex player of ours is your manager as well. Good luck for the rest of the season!

Would throw him on if we were two or three goals up with seconds to go or I'm I being to hasty. 

[Yflab 4,536]

Don’t think it’s appropriate to bring up these allegations just because we signed someone from the same country. Poor taste imho.

Calling Paeslack a "football star" is the definition of fake news.

You cannot beat a scarf above the head shot to confirm a signing. I just hope the club did not breach any guidelines by doing so. 😂 
In some countries anyone arriving at an airport during this pandemic has to isolate for at least 10days.

While his "shuffle" and cross for Guni's header at Parkhead was sublime.

Just a pity it wisnae on a Saturday!

He was our highest ever transfer fee of £400,000. His return for the money shelled out was poor. Not sure we even got a fee back on him.

If they're still together, Quaner's other half isn't too shabby.

Between the signing of Brophy and Quaner, things are getting exciting!
