Officer Rex Bishop Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Signed Rabiu Ibrahim based on the "new Okocha" tag he got from Four Four Two. At £45,000 it seemed a steal. However, he has (predictably) failed to get a WP. As Bolton the only affiliated clubs I have are in Ireland, China, and Spain . . . not the Belgian club one would hope. Am I better off leaving him in my U18 squad and re-applying for the WP with a new contract? Or should I ship him to my feeder in Spain? If he says no, what options do I have?

RDXCougar8173 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 i`d try to send him to the feeder club in spain and keep trying to another feeder club for WP issues and if he wont go you just have to leave him in reserves until hes being in GB 5 years so he can then play for you or sell him as you wont be able to offer a new contract until he has got a WP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Officer Rex Bishop Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 I'll try sending him out to Spain. Right now he's still getting call-ups for the Nigerian U-21's (he's only 17) but I presume those national call-ups will not happen if he's in the Bolton U18's.

KronikAlkoholik Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 With me if WP is turned down the trasnfer is canceled, what affects this? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blanco Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 If you give him a new contract, he may well get a permit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafuge Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 With me if WP is turned down the trasnfer is canceled, what affects this? If you don't have a feeder club which he could be sent to, the game won't let you sign him without a work permit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micado Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 spain takes 4 years. poland and belgium take 3 years. For South Americans it takes only two years in Spain. OT, better to send him to Spain to get games so he will be called up for Internationals, which may result in getting a WP, but be sure he gets games to the team you loan him to.

Suma Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Arshavin- wait until he's definately played in their past 10 games or so, then offer him a contract. Arshavin should be having WP issues.... or is it another Arshavin...? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Officer Rex Bishop Posted February 18, 2009 Author Share Posted February 18, 2009 I wouldn't be surprised. National teams seem to have some odd selection policies. I was never able to sign Pavel Pogrebnyak because he wasn't getting games for Russia. Same thing with Amr Zaki for Egypt. Needs tweaking and I mentioned it in the bugs forum.
