For anyone who reads or can manage in Italian, the Italian Wikipedia on Yacob is much fuller than the English one.

Includes his nickname being "skinny girl" and summarises him as "a complete midfielder, of personality, character and coolness".

Goes on at some length, in some detail and in very glowing terms. Was maybe written by his agent - who maybe had more of an eye on juventus than wba - but is nevertheless a heartwarming read if he's coming.

Nice one. Thx. It's got all the same stuff as the Italian Wikipedia (the guy has an Italian name), plus some more. And has the advantage for the English reader of being in English.

'The moniker actually refers to Yacob’s dreamy good looks, which will likely be an inconvenience to him should he ever end up in prison, but fortunately do not affect his ability to anchor a midfield.'

BRILLIANT

That is one fit bloke. Hope he is as good at football as he is good looking - we will have a star on our hands.  :D

I think that now he is training with us & spends time with the squad he will enjoy it and forget about the tax side of things. I have a feeling that his agent would probly be more worried about that side of things than Yacob himself.

He may pay more tax with us but he will be much more visible to top European teams which is where he ultimately wants to be. I have no problem with this as long he is respectful to our club.

I didn't know enrique iglesias kicked a football, I'm sure the baggettes (see what I did there) will love him at our beloved ground.

Will he be our 'hero' ? time will tell eh! Lol

What is the world coming to when men are struck by a footballers looks?  ;)

They never had that problem at Blackpool with Stanley Mathews.

I hope we ehar some positive news on this soon.
I can understand the club not wanting to commit until they see if he is committed to us.

I suspect the deal is now done and dusted and will be officially announced tomorrow morning - to coincide with publiation of the local rags.

Latest Chris Lepkowski tweet hot off the press:

"Yacob is signed. Not made official by club due to one or two bits of paper work which remain outstanding but he now is a #wba player"

;D The new term is "Man Love" when you admire a bloke for his physique or persona,but not a physical attraction. For example Sean Connery (as Bond) can be admired by many blokes.

That's great news. I suppose that's about as official as we can get without actually being official!  :)

Excellent signing. Let's hope that the two others that SC wants to bring in will be of the same high quality.

If true and he is finally signed up, well done to all at WBA for the hard work it must have taken to land the bloke. Excited to see him in our midfield. 2 more of the same calibre would do nicely .............. thank you very much !
He's a lad from the Wrenna

Well one thing is for sure the women will love him. Mrs kc56wba as seen his photo and wants to come to a match. No bloody chance, do me a favour Albion and sign some ugly footballers. On a serious note hope he is as good a player as he looks on you tube.

Sky Sports News is reporting that Yacob has signed a three year deal with a further year's option - I assume in our favour. Still nothing on OS.
