Is it just possible that we only wanted one of Collado or Karamoh and the former was our preferred choice?
That turned out well!Visa thing was a smokescreen, it would not have been an issue.
We obviously jettisoned this kid in favour of Corrado.
Ely was not even a player in a division, just a free agent, still it seems like the rules are pretty stupid if a good french player like Karamoh cannot get here and be paid x thousands per week and thus X thousands in tax as I'd imagine that's the governments overall aim.Alaves are still in La Liga. Parma are now in Serie B. Don't ask me why the current position matters more than the games played last year (when Parma were in Serie A) but it does and so being in La Liga carries many more points than being a Serie B player.
Yeah I do think work permit issues were the overriding factor but had we had more time good chance of getting it through. Unfortunately we had 4 players on loan with 1 spot remaining and it was either work on getting Collado or Karamoh.. and in the end getting none.I'd be very surprised if we had persisted with this that we couldn't have have made a successful appeal.
He had a number of Serie A games last season, his most recently completed one. The new season only just started. It's not as if he's been marooned in Serie B. Had he been released on a free he would have qualified.
If we approached them in May or shall we say last Jan, then the same player would have got approved?
Seems madness.

I thought similar. Eg for a regular visa, English language test has to be passed.Can there have been work permit/visa issues beyond the footballing criteria?
I can't imagine "has played a enough games for club and country" by itself is enough to a visa, there'll be other checks, surely?
robbiez666 . It appears you were right, as someone with a view has seen to clarify. It still doesn’t match with what’s written in the criteria with regards to the season, but apologies you were on the money and I was wrong.He doesn't have enough points
Gets 6 points for minutes (tops)
Get 0 for being relegated
0 for international caps
2 points for being in Serie B
0 for no continental
0 for no caps
so 8 points when he needs 15
Brexit not just seems but really is proper full-blown madnessI'd be very surprised if we had persisted with this that we couldn't have have made a successful appeal.

And if he had been released at the end of the season he would have qualifiedrobbiez666 Seems like you/we were right afterall!!
If you read the criteria it’s not mentioned. For all the other criteria it specifically mentions it’s the previous season, except that one section which mentions nothing.We are 2 years down the line with brexit surely to god football clubs knew this or was at least looked into
I always thought loans were weird needing work permitsI thought similar. Eg for a regular visa, English language test has to be passed.
But on the flip side temporary visas ( for a loan ?? ) have fewer restrictions, language test not needed.
Maybe he can come over with the truck drivers and farm labourers that we seem to have run out ofBrexit not just seems but really is proper full-blown madness

I think in my opinion, these rules are exactly what the FA, PFA and EFL want to protect UK born players. While Brexit is the reason it is possible, it’s not the reason why it’s happening. We’ve read about musicians on tour, hospitality workers and other industries that have been lobbying the Government via the media for special exemptions.Brexit not just seems but really is proper full-blown madness
