What's the endgame for this? I mean, is there any point continually loaning him out when we don't seem to have any chance of getting him a work permit? He'd need to be playing regularly for Brazil would he not, to have any realistic chance, under the new rules? Don't see how that happens in the next few years.
I worked it out a few weeks ago but cant remember exactly... Something like we get close in the required appeal points with the following ->
- His contract is in the top 75% of those at the club
- Plays at least 30% of games for a club in one of the top six European leagues
- Plays at least 30% of games for a club in the CL / Europa
So loaned to a club in the Europa & a new contract in the next year would be perfect.
Other ways to pick up points but thought that was the most realistic unless I understand it wrong or the website was incorrect.
