Initially disappointed that he remains with the Dev squad for now but it’s a sensible move . Let him adapt and grow. Should have done the same with Heverton Santos although he is a fair bit older .
Just when I thought I understood Brexit / work permit restrictions I really don't.
How have we got this cleared? Is his Nan from Slough?
I think basically every club has a few slots for players who don't quite fit the criteria to get an English league work permit. But you can then convert these players onto a work permit when they've played enough games and free up a slot again. An example being Varane who will have played enough games soon to get the required work permit and therefore frees another slot. But for instance, Paul Nardi played top flight football and in Europe last season so he already has enough points for a work permit. Same with when we signed Ken Paal, regular in the Dutch top flight so that was fine. Probably the case with Celar too playing in Europe and being an international. But we can bring in this lad because he's a Brazilian youth player, kind of keep him in holding until he plays enough minutes to get a proper permit, then we free the slot again when he's eligible. Its just a system for us to bring players in with a view to them becoming eligible.
