Anyone got a family member this lad could marry?

 

[Thomasc]

He will end up going on loan again, nailed on.

Think he just got married the weekend gone!

 

[Wat Tyler]

We are looking to sell him.

Not sure that's accurate, I believe that man city had a similar issue with a player.

Pep Guardiola hits out after Douglas Luiz refused Manchester City permit

Pep Guardiola was sad and disappointed after the Brazilian midfielder Douglas Luiz was refused a work permit

www.google.com

Thing is, Villa just signed him for £15m, or are signing him but I bet he doesn't struggle for the work permit now.

I’ll be very happy if that’s true. If we can sell him for £15m+ then that’ll be a decent deal.

People just get carried away with reports they read (not aimed at you). It wasn’t long ago people were believing Bayern were ready to drop £30m for him.

In essence we’ve got a player who can’t play for us and he’s not trusted / good enough to play regularly for Nigeria.

He does have a decent scoring record so hopefully we’ll be able to get that £15m+.

No

Not yet.

But.

Pep Guardiola, aided by Brazil head coach Tite, couldn’t convince the Exceptions Panel that Douglas was valuable enough to Man City to be granted a work permit, hence why he spent last season on loan at Spanish club Girona.

Villa’s case is far different City's, though. At £15million Douglas becomes the club’s fourth most costly player ever after fellow Brazilian Wesley Moraes, Tyrone Mings and Bent.

He will undoubtedly play regularly under Dean Smith, something which Guardiola was unable to guarantee due to the array of midfield stars already at The Etihad.

Villa are still awaiting approval on Douglas’ work permit, but it’s clear they have a very strong case.

As Goat has said here I would imagine he would get a work permit because he is within the top whatever percentage for Villa singings same as when Watford signed Richarlison

 

[toffeejack]

Do you have other examples of other clubs getting them?

Its a total myth that other people get them and we dont.

Well that crap player Newcastle have bought. Richarlison to Watford, torreira to arsenal another example. Obviously we don't focus too much on players who are denied, but there'll be plenty of examples of players with less prestige getting one.

 

[toffeejack]

Think it'll be sad if we sell him, especially to a horrible club like Galatasaray who won't get close to offering a big fee.

Joelinton is Newcastles record signing, thats how he passes the test
Rico was quite a big amount of money for Watford :

Watford have completed the signing of the Brazilian forward Richarlison from Fluminense for a fee of around £11.5m after the player was granted a work permit at an appeal hearing. The news comes as a considerable relief for Watford, who while optimistic about their chances of convincing the Football Association about the player’s merit, also had to prepare for the possibility of watching plans to augment their attack derailed for the second time this summer.

In June they failed with a second work permit application for Adalberto Penaranda, who had just captained Venezuela to the final of the Under-20 World Cup, where he missed a penalty as his team lost 1-0 to England. Paul Simpson, the coach of the England side, was among those to speak at the work permit hearing in support of the application but the player will instead spend the coming season on loan at Málaga.

The crap midget at Arsenal, again a fairly big fee, makes it much easier.


As you say, we dont know if other clubs are getting work permits denied. Cos quite frankly we dont pay much attention, a big fee means they will always get 1 tho.

We spent buttons on this fella, he doesnt play for his country, I fail to see how we can consider it unfair, the rules are quite clear.

Just think the system is massively flawed that spending £40m on someone who should cost £7m can gain a work permit ahead of a much better player.

The idea of more money means better

 

[Nymzee]

Basically being penalised for decent scouting.

Such a weird rule , so if we were competing with someone like Sheffield United for a world class Nigerian 17 years old but hadn’t played for his country yet. Sheffield United can bid 12m and get a permit but we would have to pay 25m because our record transfer is siggy ? Stupid rule

 

[CRIMHEAD]

That's not how the fee works. The fee is relative to all transfers, the salary is relative to the players at the club. At least under the appeals process.
