Going to be a bit of a come down for him if he plays for us.

..in the Championship

Probably been done to death, but we are (just) in the EU, a player from South Africa can't get a work permit/visa to 'work' in the Uk but can in Belgium (EU).
He can sign for an English club (us) , but can't play.
Does this apply to all South African workers who want to come to the UK ?

No, no - I don't think we could risk playing him in case he might get injured.

And we have all these 16 year olds who need experience in the first team.

Sorry Percy - could you hang around playing Champions League football for a bit, while we test our youth team and plan for the future.

Much to many people's surprise, we are not governed by the EU.
The UK has its own immigration laws which differ from those across the channel.

Thank God The Greyhound is on his way back, I think we might have a job for him:-

Kick Maupay's feet out from under him as he's just about to shoot.

Ridiculous. Cant wait for Brexit so we can regain control.

He said he will get a tattoo if he scored, perhaps one of the Lion of Judah would be fitting.

You arent suggesting that a club who have scouted a player multiple times and invested in him know less about his quality than some official at the Home Office?

var favours real madrid. Unbelievable. An absolute joke. All the refs working on var should never work in football again. It is totally corrupt.

 

[amexer]

Should have returned favour and passed to Percy who had open goal

It looked tight but I agree with you - can't believe it was allowed. They'll need to prove that somehow otherwise people are going to be asking what the point of VAR actually is.

 

[sussex_guy2k2]

I'm an advocate of VAR if it can be improved but how on Earth it's allowed that RM goal is beyond me.

All I've ever suggested re Tau (& Jocko McArgie for that matter) is that they spied a bargain, swooped, thinking we'll sort out the permits/profits later.


Proving the stopped clock theory correct, once again.
