Well with the situation described above I just wanted to make a point that a go-around when landing clearence hasn't been received might not always be the safest way to go. I noticed that along the thread a lot of people have been saying that "no landing clearence = go-around"... I disagree.
In the end, after landing had been pretty much decided, unless otherwise instructed, the go-around instruction did arrive to the headsets and the aircraft landed after a second approach.
Just as a note, about 80% of passengers had "stomach" problems during the go-around and second approach.
After judging carefully the situation at hand, landing without landing clearence MIGHT be the best option.
