Les Girondins Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 i've often wondered about this myself. for many years FM has adopted home office work permit regulations, but in reality clubs have no real issues getting them for players with work histories in other leagues .. one or two high profile applications denied but otherwise, its more usual to see non EU's getting signed than not.

Ozzy38 Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 If you're top of the Championship then I doubt the Brazilians you're trying to sign are good enough for a work permit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlindqui43 Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 yea its really hard for some reason. I was trying to resign a young Brazilian... Pico and they wouldnt let me. I could have sold him for at least 8 mil, and he was a good back up possible starter in future years Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsmith1989 Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 I've got work permits for a few 16 year old regens that are now moving to me in the fiture sometime. I'm still in the Championship, and they are very good. Some bargains. So yeah, it is possible. I've had plenty turned down though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyrley_saddler Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 I find that I have this problem alot with lower league clubs. I think FM should scrap it from the game as it doesn't happen that often in real life. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashOverride Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Well I signed Rafiniha as Liverpool but I've lost Leto as he cant get a new work permit! Which is what happend to Liverpool IRL and they sent him on loan to a greek side for 2 years! So that is realistic, never had a work permit turned down although had to appeal a few!

Giarc Ronyag Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 I got a brazillian on loan, been trying for 2 seasons to get a brazilian player though as a transfer, just not that big a club anymore i think, when im in prem i'll manage it.

Wakers Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 i think real life is the problem. All these young Brazillians that the likes of Man U snap up instantly become 1/8th Portugese or something as soon as they find out that Man U are after them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Franchise 2008 Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Unfortunately, does happen a lot in real life. Well, occasinally. Derby has agreed a deal to sign Yakubu a few months before he came to England but he was refused a work permit. --------------- A powerful striker, Yakubu started his career at Israeli team Maccabi Haifa, where he won two championships and had a phenomenal scoring record, both in the domestic and international competitions - breaking several club records. He came to England and trained with Derby County but could not obtain a work permit at the time. After scoring 7 goals in 8 European Cup appearances (including a hat-trick against Olympiakos and another against Manchester United) in the 2002/03 season UEFA Champions League, Yakubu moved to English club Portsmouth in January 2003. -------------- Turns out Yakubu has his own website at Yakubu.co.uk. How boring. Heh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butts Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 It doesn't matter what club you're at they have to have played in 75% of there national teams games in the last year (or 2) or get through on exceptional quality. Same as it is irl. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiwityke Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 It could be worse IRL New Zealand gave a Brazilian player called Daniel, a New Zealand passport last week after less than a year in the country, so he can play for the All Whites. Its a joke, if your not good enough to play for your own country you shouldn't be allowed to then switch to a poorer nation to gain international football. Also its very common for Brazilians/Argentinians to have Italian/Spanish/Portuegese passports. I myself have 3! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
