Simple issue I'd imagine - they more than likely won't get a work permit. The ones that are big enough names to get a work permit wouldn't be the good deals.

This. City bought a player who could
not get a work permit. He has now gone to Villa.

I like Simeone, but hes very much a type of manager whose very methodical and tries to stifle games. Not too sure Yernited fans would put up with that type of football, though I could be wrong.

I agree - I’m still amazed they didn’t wait until the summer to offer the job to OGS especially when every man and his dog knew that there was a very high chance of Allegri leaving - if they had waited they could have got him and then a number of decent players.

They've had Mourinho and van Gaal in recent years, is Simeone much different? Not been happy but they still put up with it, as fans do.

I wouldn't want him managing my team, I get your point.

Unless they're already established internationals then we struggle getting work permits for South American Players.

Post Brexit there is a chance it could also go the same way with some EU countries etc - no idea what’s in place for working visas ?

Sensible question as I don't know the answer, if he couldn't get a work permit at City how did he get one for Villa?

I dont know who you're talking about but I'd guess hes probably had a spell in Portugal or spain to get a EU Permit.
 
Sad to see Maguire go, you could tell he was a class CB right from his first game for us a couple of seasons back, the downside is that being good on the ball he would often manage to get to the edge of the opposition box, before a misplaced pass left Morgan and Simpson exposed on the break. Was better at judging his runs this last season and he is good at distributing the ball. Should have been made captain IMO. He's also my Mum's favourite player!
 
One defender from South America I've got my eye on over the next few years is Walter Kannemann. Currently playing for Gremio and is Argentinian but has German dual-nationality so WP's aren't an issue. He's played for Argentina, is strong as an ox, brilliant tackler, reads the game well and can pass. There were rumours he was off to Arsenal early in the summer and is now being linked with Roma, reckon we'll see him appear in a top league in the near future.

No he's not, but the fans will only put up with so much and that's my point.

Ask most match going Yernited fan's whether they'd like to watch another 12months of LVG/JM type of football, 8 doubt they'd say yes.
 
I see that Godin went to Inter early on in the transfer window. Best CB that I've seen. Not one for the long term, but could have done a job for OGS, whilst getting his team together over the next season or two.

The player is called Douglas Luis. City couldn't get a work permit for him As he it was thought he wouldn't get enough game time. Which wont be an issue at Villa. He spent last year on loan at Girona. By all accounts he is a decent player.

I've always thought this rule was ridiculous. Especially now. They're going to pay loads of tax, considering we give permits to people to work here in significantly lower paid roles.

Begs the question (in my mind anyway) why did City buy him if they weren't certain of getting a WP for him?

I genuinely think they would have got Poch if they had been sensible.

Knows the English game and is ambitious. Reckon he'd have won something with UTD before he wins anything with spurs.

May stop happen in a year.

Yep only have to listen to what he says to see that he has itchy feet and wants to go to a “big” club and Utd despite their issues over the years are still a big club. Have a feeling next summer will be when he moves on
