Hi Ed, bit confused about something regarding Work Permits:
So Onyekuru will be going on loan to Anderlecht next season because we can't get a work permit. What will be different next Summer? Would he be guaranteed one?
{Ed025's Note - not guaranteed one hugo, but if he played for a significant time and maybe got an international call up then things like that help mate..

Will playing CL/ EL help too?
{Ed025's Note - yes hugo, it all adds up mate..

How does it work with footballers. Having lived and worked outside EU I know that it comes down to whether a suitably qualified person in he home country is available and wants the job. only then can the hiring company recruit from outside their 'home territory' however football is a little more subjective. regarding the suitably qualified person. n that note does it purely come down to other qualifications, i. e. number of intl caps? Given Belgium is in EU and he plays in Belgium, do you know how their permit rules differ to ours. given we are still an EU member?
{Ed002's Note - The permit rules are much stricter .}

Great! Thanks Ed! Really excited about the signing of Onyekuru.
{Ed025's Note - i have to admit i never seen that one coming hugo, but its great to see up and coming players like him picking us over the so called bigger boys mate..

Im guessing itll get much stricter once we are out of the EU too?
{Ed025's Note - thats certainly a factor hugo..
