Some players have received work permits with much less of an international pedigree, it would be scandalous if he didn't get one. He played in the world cup final just a few weeks ago for Christ's sake.

Edit: Hadn't heard about this court case stuff. Bloody hell...

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

Yes but most other clubs have the relevant legal work done to ensure the work permits aren't rejected. Fernando was playing for City within a week of signing, wasn't he? It just feels like United post-Gill has been run shabbily on the football side.

That's because he has a Portuguese passport. Rojo only has Argentinian passport and these things could take a while, absolutely nothing on our side we could have done to avoid it, procedures are set in motion once you've signed the player.
 
A guy earning 60k a week can't get a work permit, but Jihadist fighters can return to the country and resume their lives. #UKLogic

I can totally understand him not being given a work permit if he's awaiting trial for a violent crime.

I wouldn't put it past the current lot running our club but you'd hope that they weren't so incompetent that they wouldn't have checked for any work permit difficulties before completing the transfer.

Let's assume he fails to get a work permit on appeal, what happens? Is the transfer done and you'll have to loan him out or can you still pull out of the transfer?

Him and RVP have the best looking birds in the United squad imo.

Has any reliable source reported that a work permit has been rejected? And how long does it take to get one for footballers? I thought not more than 2-3 days ...
 
So he smashed a bottle on someone...Can't he just give them 10k or something and settle?
 
I think it is obviously very early to judge the player when he didnt feature a single minute for us but he may be played in midfield as well, more precisly as an anchor man. Hes got loads of energy and would do De Jong for us or more technically gifted Jones.. but it is just an early guess. I can't stand Cleverley-Fletcher midfield anymore...
 
Where is his work permit? Or am I missing something?
 
Is he eligible for tonight does anybody know? Or are we still waiting on permit?
