Zero Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Interesting. So a foreign player need to obtain a work permit from both the UK government and the FA, and apparently the FA one is more difficult to obtain Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Which is probably why he can do media duties and train. Likely don't need the FA one for that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

After brexit the fa decided to reform the rules to make it easier for non EU and the EU players to pass the test. So post brexit it’s much easier to get South American players and Africans visas. it should be dead easy for the EU players, so until someone spells out why klivert has failed, it’s quite unusual.

Zero Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Apparently the reason is he didn’t play regularly for Roma and he is not an Dutch international That’s ridiculous. He was on loan to Nice hence didn’t play for Roma. The rules have problems Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather than clubs hoovering up rubbish foreign players for cheap money and blocking English players coming through, they at least have to have foreign players who have actually played in the top couple of tiers. seems he’s fallen in some obscure crack.

LiquidAK Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Going entirely off FM-knowledge EU nationals didn’t need work permits but non-EU would. Mental that a star international level European forward isn't a quick rubber stamp mind Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 (edited) He seems like he's being penalised for playing at a big club and nationality of a big footballing nation and being slightly short ability wise of both?

samptime29 Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 If we play him with Wilson what is formation going to be? 4-1-3-2? Or play 4-3-3 still with Isak on right with ASM on left? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conjo Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 We can't be shoehorning players into our formation by sticking this guy on the right wing, or putting ASM on the right just to play Isak on the left. He is striker. While he seemingly can drift out wide during matches, he's started like 2 matching on LW and RW in his entire career according to transfermarkt. Play him in his natural position together with Wilson, or start him or Wilson on the bench so we have options to change things up during games.

Smal Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Bit leftfield maybe but I reckon Wilson could be very effective on the right of a front 3 in our current set up. There’s a lot of goals to be had from that position with ASM and Bruno supplying. Trippier keeps the width out there as we know. It’s just whether he could do the defensive work.

Cronky Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 I'd give this guy as free a role as possible ie behind a main striker either in a 4-3-3 or a 4-4-2. Main reason is he's so good on the ball, lets give it to him as much as possible. Out and out strikers are often feeding on scraps and deprived of space.

He's proven himself as a central striker/wide forward, scored plenty of goals from those positions as well so don't see how changing that will contribute to his game in any way. Also, your idea means Wood playing up top again and I'd rather just have Isak up there with ASM, Almiron and Willock/Anderson in behind them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 All fit he’ll probably start wide but essentially be a striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Doesn't make sense to play him wide so we can keep playing Wood. You also lose the work that Miggy does on the right. Guess if ASM is out he could potentially play left, but I'd still rather put Fraser in TBH. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
