If Luiz goes back to Girona and plays a requisite number of games, does that then make him any more eligible for a UK work permit next season? It’s quite difficult to see how someone who was deemed worthy of 450 minutes of play last season is suddenly going to merit considerably more time on the park this season.
Needs to go somewhere he will defo play and get a Brazil call up. If he gets on the pitch for Brazil then a work permit will be sorted. The club will be doing everything to try and get a loan that sorts this for January I would imagine. Although I am unsure how often you can apply for a permit. Seems that Pep has been discussing him with the Brazil manager probably in an effort to get him an international cap!
He’d have to have played in 30% of his country’s games in the preceding 12 months, which starting from now looks quite difficult to achieve.
Maybe it's the best moment for the necessary Brazil minutes as there are assumably 10 friendlies ahead until next June, when Copa America starts, where Brazil could have a maximum of 5 matches. No qualifiers within that period.
That would mean he had to be on the pitch in 5 friendlies to reach 30%, that could be possible. If Tite has a soft spot for Pep :)
If I got it right on visalogic.net Luiz is allowed to reapply for a work permit whenever he is ready for a successful application.
Perhaps. Brazil are scheduled to play the USA and El Salvador in early September, with 4 more fixtures before Christmas and 4 thereafter. We’ll therefore have a clearer idea of the likelihood of him meeting that criterion by the next transfer window. If he doesn’t start for Girona, it will look mighty odd if he plays for Brazil. :-)
Mcdonald Mariga.I remember some Kenyan we tried to buy not getting a work permit (think he went Inter and was shit so a bullet dodged), there was some rag afterwards gobbing off saying he made the decision. Always wonder how the likes of Fabio and he's twin brother got permits at United then I remember that guy. Bent as fuck.
Worse thing was his far less capped brother signed for Celtic only a year later.Mcdonald Mariga.
