Willian

How long does the work permit process take? Presumably he would be subject to one and that would have an impact on when he could officially start work i.e. play for us. Therefore I doubt that even if the signing was announced tonight he would be able to play on Sunday as would need to be registered with the PL by midday on Friday.

Unless we've already got the wheels in motion with the Home Office? Anyone know how it works??

I would imagine that the entire process of obtaining a Home Office work permit runs in parallel with the paperwork submitted to the Premier League and UEFA.

So in theory, it shouldn't take any longer for the work permit to come through than it does permission to play in Domestic & European matches.

Thing with Willian is that his work permitt might not be straight forward.
Tradionally a player must have played for his country in at least 75% of its compe***ive 'A' team matches he was available for selection, during the two years preceding the date of the application to qualify.
Willian will have to apply through the exceptional talent route.

Or else if the club is particularly sneaky they could get Willian become an 'investor' in the country and get a work permit that way.

We always seem to have problem with work permit. IIRC, we had a few cases where we failed to sign players as they didn't get the work permits. Still remember about the American Bobby Convey who we tried to sign in 2003 but couldn't get the work permit for him. But strangely, he then went on to sign for Reading in 2004. Feel like only Spurs always having problem with work permits while other clubs have no such problems.
 
surely we just sponsor him as a skilled worker, it's only a grand a year or so I think

unless that's not allowed for sports people

dont think there will be any work permit problems with a 30 mill pound signing.....its not like we picked up a bum from the Copacabana, bring him here on a free and pay him dirt cheap wages
 
latest rumours are that Willian is now considering his options.

Rumours are that a team offering 100k a week?
 
Sky Sports News' Dharmesh Sheth reports that Willian is still considering his options, even though he has already passed a medical at Tottenham after a £30million fee was agreed with Anzhi Makhachkala.

Hope to feck it's not "them" from down the road...
