Its a close one. From what I understand there are 4 ways to get approved. There is automatic qualification if he plays enough international matches, which it appears he hasnt. Option #2 is their Part A schedule, option #3 is their Part B schedule, and option #4 is an exception.

He needs 4 points from Part A, and whether he has them is all about whether his transfer fee, or his wages are at 50th percentile of qualifying players. How he would get points:

1. 1 point for playing in a top 6 league, as defined as "a top 6 european league which provides the most players to the top 20 squads in FIFA world rankings". The top 5 are obvious, so then the question for the 6th league is, is it Turkey, Portugal, or the Netherlands. I would bet the Netherlands, but its all about transfers to the top teams. So no idea who it actually is
2. 1 point for playing in the group stages of a Continental Comp, which he did.
3. 2 points for 50th to 75th percentile of wages to qualifying players, or 50th to 75th percentile of transfer fee. No idea if he made this.

If he doesnt get 4 points in part A, which only changed this year with points for #2, he moves on to part B where he needs 5 points? He would get points:

1. 1 point for transfer being between 20th-50th percentile of qualifying players. That should be an easy 1 point.
2. 1 point for wages between 20th-50th percentile of qualifying wages. That probably is another point.
3. 1 point for players club in secondary league, and played at least 30% of minutes. Thats 1 point.
4. 1 point for playing in the group stages of a Continental Comp, which he did. Thats 1 point.
5. 1 point for participating in 60% of Nigerias Comp International matches for WHICH HE WAS AVAILABLE FOR SELECTION, or his association being a semi-finalist in the Africa Cup of Nations in the past 12 months.

Last year he didnt have points from european matches, keeping him 1 short. This year, he does, and while injured, the leagues specific rules on this state matches where he was injured are excluded from the percentage, meaning he should meet that easily.

So according to their rules, he should get a work permit.

Hah, basically take the last line. Per their own rules, because hes now played in a European group stage, and because hes played in 60% of Nigerian matches where he wasnt injured, he should get a work permit.

No I mean he needs international caps. I think.

Pretty sure that’s it.

75% appearance rate for his country for the last two years that he was available for. As in Not injured , also if his transfer fee is o. The top 15% of fees paid in that window you can apply based on that

I’ve never understood it. Surely the country would make a fortune off the taxes he’d be paying. It’s bizarre.

Should be of their annual salary is over 1m a year then they should be able to get a permit. 5 year deal? I do t think your going to find him washing dishes for cash on the weekends and not paying his tax
 

be weird if we sell him to Bayern without ever playing for us

I mean fair play to Walsh on this one we will make a load of money most likely but would have liked to have seen him for us
