Has he landed in the UK? I am in Tampere, Finland at the moment and just spoke to a guy who knows his mother very well who, after speaking to his mother on Monday, said Joonas was undecided on where he would be playing???

Kev spoke to him today and all we know is there is a problem with his new skates and he had to take them back. Not much point in him coming over with no skates!

The rink shop sells skates !!

Got a feeling this isnt going to happen. Stalling tactics until a better offer comes in Evil or Very Mad

Maybe he could talk to Rider.... Im sure he has access to skates at pretty short notice Rolling Eyes

Let's hope this isn't just a stalling tactic!

Sounds like a poor excuse to me, and after what the guy here in Tampere told me I'm not convinced at all.

I see the Twitter feed was advertising seats on the team bus for today's trip t Cardiff.

Presumably, one of them is Liimatainen's.

The whole situation is disappointing, but what can you do?

Very disappointing as this guy was clearly a good calibre defenseman. However, you need to be able to rely on players and Jonah, Freudian slip there - sorry, is evidently unreliable.

Encouraging that the coach is still seeking an import D man though and, judging by the cv of the no-show, the club is looking at quality guys who will surely do a sterling job on the blue line.

Good luck with the D man hunt, it would be good to get him on board prior to the upcoming batch of EPL games. The Dynamos, as shown already, are capable of beating EPL teams and a solid import D added to the line-up would raise the likely hood of another "upset", further enhancing the club`s reputation - and attracting the eye of potential sponsor !
