Everton could face an issue with the Football Association regarding a work permit for striker target Ishak Belfodil. The FA has put in new rules effective the beginning of 2016 for players from the non-EEA (European Economic Areas) regions and Belfodil being an Algerian international would come under those regulations.

Previously, in order to qualify to play in the United Kingdom, a player would have to have played in at least 75% of their country’s senior international matches over the previous two years.

Per the new system in place, with Algeria being ranked 38th in the FIFA rankings (as of Dec 22nd, 2016), Belfodil is expected to have featured in at least 75% of his nation’s games over the last two years.

The forward has played in only 13 of the nation’s last 19 games over the past 24 months, and that is only 68%. So from the letter of the law, he would be ineligible for a work permit to play in the Premier League for Everton.


However, there is an appeals process where it is very likely the club can push his credentials through as he has a total of 14 international caps with 2 goals since August 2013. Belfodil is a former France junior international and has played for Lyon in France, Bologna, Parma, Inter Milan and Livorno in Italy before his current stint at Standard Liege in Belgium where he has 9 goals in 21 games, including 3 in 5 Europa League games as well.

as he played for the french under 17,18,19,21s i doubt it would be an issue as he's likely got dual nationality
 
Ha Ha. Spending like a drunken sailor.

£10M for this feller; £10M for a lad from Charlton; up to £24M for Schneiderlin; Bolassie in the summer for £27M.

If it wasn't so frightening it'd be hilarious.

Do we think this guy will be bought in as a plan B to come off the bench in games, or will he start alongside Rom (either in a 2 up front or 3)?

I think he has been brought in just so we do not miss Niasse too much, very similar sort of player vis-à-vis absolute tosh

plan b for depay? He surely wouldn't be the backup for rom we're in desperate need for, but if he's depay's plan b, which still looks very much on, then we wouldn't have got this sorted so quickly. Could possibly be a cheapish cover for bolasie's injury maybe?

Seems a different player to Depay and Bolasie isn't a striker like this lid.

Nah, you watch a lot of Baniyas Club and Liege games.... mate? So i'm doubting you have either, but I do see that in 7 years he's been with 8 clubs, so it's hard to get excited about it.

No i havent seen him play once. Which is why I'm not forming an opinion and writing him off instantly

You seem to hate everything in connection with the current Everton setup. Hilarious? I found that fraud RM hilarious not your beloved team because clearly we are spending money to buy players not the sprine of Wigan.

Interesting that all his goals were about 10 yds out give or take. not sure how he will get on with everton passing it sideways along the oppo's back four for 5 minutes before it breaks down. I like the idea of a poacher in the box ,god we need one, but i am not sure we get in behind teams enough for this fella.

Looks like he can score from corners a lot too, though. So could be some value for us there.
