I remember Pep was quite pissed as City had gone out of their way to get testimonials from various people involved in Douglas' development to back up the claims of his potential, but it was completely ignored. Since we did all that last year, i can't see it having changed much this year since he didn't break into the national team, proper.Think a big part of the exceptional talent ruling is the fee paid as we already own him we miss out there
Yes tbh probably either have to find a Spanish granny and get him dual nationality or sell with a buybackI remember Pep was quite pissed as City had gone out of their way to get testimonials from various people involved in Douglas' development to back up the claims of his potential, but it was completely ignored.

Maybe he can find a portuguese granny. But a spanish granny is highly improbable.
How does this work permit criteria work, from what I've seen recently it makes very little sense. Aston Villa recent signing Wesley has been granted one but I don't see how, he came from another EU club (Bruge I think), but I can't see that he's represented Brazil at any level, can someone explain?
