Because there is just more than a permit if the rumors are true. JUst hopefully it is all fixed by the end of the break.

Rojo starts for Argentina tonight along with Di Maria v Germany, still can't believe they are now Manchester United players amazing 
Where is he playing, LWB or CB?Rojo starts for Argentina tonight along with Di Maria v Germany, still can't believe they are now Manchester United players amazing
LWB it seems, Fernandez and Demichelis start as CB's
Dunno, but he supposedly bottled someone in 2010 when he was celebrating his move to Spartak Moscow and an Argentinian judge has issued an arrest warrant. Or something, according to the worldwide fountain of facts aka The Daily Mail.
EDIT: not the Daily Mail, silly me. The Mirror via The People.

Cheers.
Would love to watch this but I can't miss Dæhli. And, you know, our beloved England...Cheers.
I'm Irish so I won't have to watch England tonight

Great. Will mainly watch the Argentina game then!
Ireland on Setanta, England on ITV, and Germany on BT Sports 1
Thanks
Can't wait to see him along with Di Maria.
Pm incoming
Back to the work permit, is there an end in sight? I mean we spent £16m on a player that can't even play. Did the club not do its homework?
What's the full lineups?

nobody knows. I think the club thought it would be a lot easier to obtain his work permit. They probably didnt know about his bottle attack in Argentina too.
Thanks @Annahnomoss
Doing well, as expected comfortable on the ball and getting involved with the attack from time to time.
As I understand it, the work permit is not the issue, but the visa is.
Think he started really nervous, misplacing easy passes but he is looking as one of the better players on the pitch now. Getting involved and that being up against a real quality opponent in Draxler.
He's limited in attack just like the world cup. Don't think he can be a LWB option like some think.
LB yeah.
LB yeah.
Erm don't we need him to be a CB?
I agree. I can see him as a solid LB, similar to Abidal and Dani Alves' relationship. If he plays LB and is comfortable playing more central too, then it'll allow Rafael to get forward more knowing that there's still 3 defenders left behind him.
Yeah, ofcourse that's his primary position or LCB in a 3 but some were saying he can be shaw backup in this formation. I don't think he can.
Has he ever played consistently as a CB in a four man defence?
For someone who hasn't played a lot since the world cup, he looks solid. Think he can dispel doubts about lack of match practice when he gets his permit and slots into the team.
I think he played almost all of last season as a CB for Sporting Lisbon? Pretty sure I saw a few games with him partnering Mauricio in the centre of defence? @Sly
Yep, that's where he played at Sporting. I think by the end of his time in Argentina too.
Yes he can. Rather have him cover than Ashley fecking Young.
He looks very comfortable on the ball to me so I'm sure he can play lwb just fine.
He'll do worse if you want him to be your main creative outlets like we are asking our wingbacks to be due to not creating enough centrally.
See James in that role. Rojo seems pretty similar.
Almost like playing Smalling RWB or Jones.
A big brown envelope should do the trick, if that's the case. That's how I got mine...
My application and all the supporting docs were packed in a brown envelope....
He created the second highest amount of chances from a defender at the World Cup. I'm sure he'd do fine.
I think Jones and Rojo in a back three is a bit overkill. Both of them are very defensively stable with safe but non-creative passing. I can't see them finding ways to make our build-up stronger.
Would like to see them playing together though in a back four.

Kept a clean sheet in a half against Germany, good enough for me!
Hasn't played that well for me, a lot of misplaced passes & easy giveaways
During the WC, his passing seemed to be very sloppy.
j´he is a CB, and should play there.
Watched all game. Only agree about the start when he looked very nervous, since then he picked up and played great.
Seemed like it was playing as a LB which made him look a bit out of control the first few minutes.
