How is he going to ever play for us? Surely Brazil won't play him enough to get a work permit. Doesn't he need to spend 3 or 4 years in Netherlands or Belgium to gain citizenship? Is this just a plan to make a couple of million by selling him to Turkey is two years time.

Very odd.

Harsh sending him to the Belgian backwaters.





Took his goal well on Wednesday...

If a football player does not fulfil the above criteria and has his application for a work permit turned down there is the possibility for a club to appeal the decision. This appeal will be heard by an independent panel and it will be the job of the panel to assess the following things:

• To consider whether the player is of the highest calibre
• To consider whether the player is able to contribute significantly to the development of the game at the top level in the UK

It is often the case that when clubs sign young players who have not had the opportunity to play for their national side due to their age the work permit will be granted due to the ability and potential shown by that player in their fledgling career.

Seems like he needs to either get passport from a distant relative based in the EU, or do well on loan and ideally get into one of the Brazilian junior teams. Alternatively we could just bribe Brazil to give him a cap, but they seem to be cracking down on that.

I thought it was Joe Allen for a moment and was like what the f.

This other Allan won the league on his loan spell, surely we could get a decent enough side for him??
