You can’t expect him to not start a thread for this clearly very important news, everyone’s desperate to hear about who we haven’t signed. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I must admit I've never been confident of understanding how the work permits were determined, but perhaps the fact he was playing in a Croatian league team would have been relevant. After all, Buendia is Argentinian and we managed to buy him from a Spanish side with no problems. I'm sure someone on the site will know the answer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If a player had an EU passport they didn't need a work permit to play football in the English league. Now that we're not in the EU that rule doesn't apply, and an EU player needs to be granted a work permit to play in the English league. Just like any other employment in fact. That's the nuts and bolts of it. My understanding is that Mario Vrancic had a German passport, so was entitled to live and work in the UK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So it's possible Gojak might have had a Croatian passport and still qualified to play for Bosnia. Not that it is particularly relevant anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Has been there for 7 years (obviously I have no idea how readily they dish those out, in some states its 5 years, in others its 10 years). Transfermarkt doesn't seem to think he has dual nationality, but then they may just not know. Wouldn't worry about it anyway, we have no idea if he's any good do we. Good age, but not exactly a prolific goalscorer for an attacking midfielder considering Drmic just had a 21 goal season in that league! Edited August 9, 2022 by TeemuVanBasten Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It seems the club showed considerable foresight in being very quick in focusing its attention on the South American market once the prospect of Brexit has ruled out any possibility of unearthing another Buendia. Fingers crossed that the Sara and Nunez deals prove Webber to have his mojo back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Such a good show and disappointing season 6 had to be rushed to a conclusion (although they still did a great job of it). Meanwhile absolute trash on Netflix continues to be reinstated for additional airtime...
