Site Supporter HomerJay Posted January 20, 2012 Site Supporter Share Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) So to sum up, we're investing a lot of time and effort in not getting a player in to replace Cahill? i think so. usa played 17 games in 2011 and 14 in 2010 from my calcs he had to play in 24 of those 31 games. but he is young, 24 in the states IS like our 21. he is still seen as a rookie, not sure if the uk home office will see it like that though.

Arrested development Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 There's an american player at forest called robbie findlay. His work permit was approved and i am pretty sure he's played only a few games for usa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwfc2003 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 the rules are simple for non eu passport holders. you need to play for a country in the top 75 of the rankings and have played in 75% of their recent internationals otherwise, there needs to be 'special circumstances' special circumstances can be that youre the best player in the world, but born in bongobongo land had a broken leg for 2 years be wanted by liverpool True Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalcolmW Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I think the initial decision is almost always based on a strict interpretation of the rules, i.e. NO, but on appeal the special circumstances will be properly considered. On the age aspect it might be argued that USA players traditionally turn professional on leaving college at 22, rather than on reaching 18 as is normal in Europe. But there are exceptions - Brad Friedel left college with 1 year to go before graduating (he may return to complete his course soonish!), but it took him 5 years to get in, with failed applications from Notts Forest, Newcastle and Sunderland. By the time Liverpool signed him he actually met the criteria (I think) but was very much second string. Souness signed him for B'burn having managed him previously at Galatasaray. The point can nowadays be made that USA is a high ranking team(!!) and being around the squad demonstrates a certain standard, but I wouldn't take it as a given the clearance will be got pdq.

Guest Frandsen08 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 special circumstances will be met by the fact that we view him as playing quite a few games considering the amount of money we are going to be paying for him, he'll be reet, be a white before next thurs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter MickyD Posted September 24, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted September 24, 2021 This from a group of supporters who referred to one of our Downs supporters as Spazzy Darren or M0ng Boy.

Wonder how many from here have been abusing this kid online? None perhaps? Way off there micky, context is everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
