Indy 3,477 Posted September 28, 2020 Shame we’ll probably never see him in a City shirt, probably cash in next summer for a few million profit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Terminally Yellow 2,614 Posted September 28, 2020 Just now, Indy said: Shame we’ll probably never see him in a City shirt, probably cash in next summer for a few million profit. Considering the fact he's at Telstar due to work permit issues, the transfer market in these COVID times has really slowed down and he's just bagged two goals for Telstar in the Dutch second division, not scored six in a Champions League final, in what universe will that ever happen? 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Signed within a Premier League window which is obviously more lax with work permit rules. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He’s not eligible to play for us as things are so out on loan where he can play. If he doesn’t get full international status in the next couple seasons he won’t play for us. As he was signed for nothing pretty sure we’ll sell for a couple million profit. Whats your point? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was literally said on the day that we signed him in July that he had to be loaned out this season to comply with work permit requirements. It was stated very clearly in the Pink'un article that announced his signing. https://www.pinkun.com/norwich-city/canaries-sebastian-soto-transfer-deal-confirmed-1-6765900 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His own agent confirmed that he had a work permit application rejected in England and if you simply search "Sebastian Soto Work Permit" in google you'll see dozens of results. It remains possible that he'll never be eligible for that work permit, but the club considered it worth a punt and signed him anyway. His chances will increase significantly if he plays for the US senior team and plays regularly for Telstar, and he was called up for games which were later cancelled due to the pandemic. Once he's got a few international caps under his belt we'll try again. Edited September 28, 2020 by TeemuVanBasten Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sonyc 6,145 Posted September 28, 2020 Blimey, never expected this thread would produce an argument. He didn't have a work permit but hopes to get selected for the US. He has every chance because this fella is very driven. In the meantime, why wouldn't we want him to do well for Telstar and score tons of goals. The lad has stated he hopes to play in the yellow and green. I'm sure we are tracking him closely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also second top scorer behind Haaland in the U20 World Cup, he's the US national teams big hope up top. Edited September 28, 2020 by TeemuVanBasten 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indy 3,477 Posted September 28, 2020 Who wouldn’t want to see him in a yellow shirt starting at Carrow Road, who knows if we get a new trade agreement with the US next year work permit issues between the two countries could be changed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
curious yellow 184 Posted September 28, 2020 Two goals and then subbed at half time. Must have downed tools. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The point is that one year on loan in the Dutch second division isn't going to attract the attention of any club willing to buy Soto for a couple of million. It just wouldn't happen. So to say we'll "probably" never see him in a City shirt because he's going to get sold for profit is just so wide of the mark it's a really stupid suggestion.

Don't forget that the person negotiating the deal is a City supporter, I'm sure an exemption for Soto is second on Liz Truss's list after her obsession with cheese. 😀 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
