Mole_Toonfan Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Heard some Belgian journalist on TalkSport (think he was that one from HLN who is based in London) say getting a work permit for this lad might be difficult. Just send Willo along with a football that should be enough to secure a work permit for just about anyone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised he hasn't got himself a Belgian passport since he's been there 3 years edit: apparently they made it 5 years in 2013, didn't know that, but apparently 3 is still OK if you have 'exceptional merits in the fields of sport, culture, or science' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 See he's anywhere between the ages of 19 and 27. Brilliant, give the man a contract between 7 and 3 years depending on how quickly his nose and ear hair grow. Mbemba was registered by his two first Congolese clubs as being born in 1988, according to documents obtained by CNN. Yet for a Cup of Nations qualifier in June 2011, his year of birth was listed as November 30, 1991. Meanwhile, the birth date recorded by his Belgian club Anderlecht is August 8, 1994. Just to complicate matters, Mbemba himself, thinks he was born in 1990. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read in a couple places that this doubt was started by some dodgy agent & in the end Mbemba had a bone scan that confirmed the 1994 date is the correct one. So that should really put this to bed.

Well here are some Anderlecht fans on reddit who say so: https://m.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/36iz5r/anderlecht_fans_what_can_you_tell_me_abut_chancel/ This mentions the bone scan confirming he was young enough, which means the 1994 bd had to be correct: http://www.benefoot.net/jupiler-pro-leagues-best-youngsters-and-future-european-stars/ There was another one that was better but can't find it.
