Granny Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 I've just agreed to sign Oscar Ustari for blackburn but he has been denied a work permit. He is considering spanish citizenship, is there anything i can do to encourage him to take citizenship or something? I desperately need a replacement goalkeeper and i've got a good deal on him but i'm stuck as what to do. I also read somewhere that i could just sign him anyway and then give him a new contract straight away and he has a better chance of getting a work permit, would this work? Thanks in advance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jod123 Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 You can't influence him to take spanish citizenship but signing him and offering him a new contract will just apply him again. I don't know whether you have a better chance. Did you appeal the decision? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ftg87 Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Appealing the decision for someone whose status is like that of Ustari's, and people who are not as high profile often, will get you the permit, check the scout report to see what it says about the chances of getting a permit, will normally tell you if an appeal will be succesful Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Posted August 3, 2008 Author Share Posted August 3, 2008 Thanks for the quick reply, i did appeal but it was still turned down. I have a just over a month till the transfer deadline, should i just sit tight and hope he takes citizenship or sign someone else? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Posted August 3, 2008 Author Share Posted August 3, 2008 I forgot about the scout report part, my scout says i should go for other targets because he won't get a work permit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ftg87 Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Up to you at the end of the day, I would look elsewhere personally, if you deadset on getting him then it may work to wait, but I've seen players stuck on "Considering Citizenship" for years, so I wouldn't bother Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jod123 Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 I would look at other targets but still keep an eye on him as he is likely to take up citizenship as players usually do when they need it to become EU and to remove the need for them needing a work permit in the future. I have only seeing it waiting for years when players like Ronaldo would never take English Citizenship as he is already an EU citizen but Tevez would as he is non-EU.
