Lmfao.. A slight glimmer of hope quickly shut down by fecking work permit issues. Have we EVER signed a player only to have them not able to play due to a work permit?
 
No work permit ffs. Are the border force going to storm carrington?
 
He's been training hasn't he, Doesn't that constitute as work? I'm getting on the blower..
 
I think he might play in midweek, van Gaal said he'll use a different team than the one he uses in the weekend. We could also end up seeing Powell, Wilson, Keane and a few other youth players starting this game.
 
He will have a close friend to pour all the ice he wants soon.
 
That would seem a bit ridiculous if true. He's played in 28 internationals since 2011, that's got to be there or thereabouts to fit into the played in 75% of games when available rule?

I'd hazard a guess and say there were maybe 35 international fixtures over that period.
 


Why just us? Loads of teams have bought non-EU players. None seem to be having these issues. It just adds to the sense that the club is being run by people who haven't got a clue.
 
I don't get why he would need a new work permit, he's come from Portugal which is in the EU and one would think that the right to work in Portugal would carry over to here

It's not just us. Any team signings players who don't hold EU passports has to go through these procedures.

UK has different law regarding this. Much easier to import a player to pretty much any other league in Europe than Premier League.

Yeah, I thought the same thing yesterday. We haven't really got this right-to-work thing sorted yet, have we? :lol:
