Uh, he obviously has a work permit as he is playing for Villa. What am I missing?

He couldn't get a work permit for us as he wasn't considered to be one of our top earners.
With Villa he is one of their top earners.
If he came to us he still wouldn't be one of our top earners.
I suppose my query is he couldn't play for us 2 seasons ago but could play for Villa.
Why can he now play for us.

He now has valid visa and which until it lapses he can use playing for City. When renewal comes up if he is not playing enough that is the only time it could be an issue.

Thanks for that.
Seems a rule that is very grey.
In reality a player who does not qualify for a top 6 team can head off to West Brom, play a season and then transfer to a top 6 team.

I read in an article that Diego Costa permit to play in premiership is no longer valid as he is a Brazilian who has qualified for Spain.
As he hasn't played recently as an international his points have now gone below the required level and since Brexit would no longer qualify.
Cant recall where I read this.
 
I rate him, just not any better than Herrera, but the real problem for me is he offers nothing that the man in the box seat, Rodri does not. whoever we buy should have strengths were Rodri does not if we are to grow.

What criteria has he now fulfilled that guarantees us a work permit for him.

He plays regularly for the Brazil national football team now. I believe that's enough on it's own?!
 
I don’t see him coming back. Why would we be looking at other options (Locatelli, Zakaria) if we were sure that Luiz was our man to come in and replace Fernandinho?

How does that date make any sense? The window doesn’t open before late july/early august?

The window opens July 1st every year (except last year).

It'll be like the Bernardo deal. Done May 27th, officially done July 1st.
