NFR - Diego Costa Work Permit Rejected

[Palhinha Colada]

Is that in itself weird - one case has an appeal, while another case is denied one?

Apparently Kluviert didn't get enough points to Appeal. Just ridiculous.

The Kluivert situation could have been easily remedied in one of two ways: 1) the deal was consummated before the new season started, so his "current club" was Nice, not Roma; or 2) Roma put him on their bench for one match this season.

Whatever guidance Fulham received about getting an exception could have been rendered moot by either of the above, so IMO both clubs are very much to blame for this. The points/rules are very clear, and he didn't have enough to qualify for a permit.

We didn't need him back then as Solomon was fit. Also I think he's been injured recently, hence the alledged letter from Roma.

Hindsight is also an amazing thing as we all know.

Nobody, anywhere mentioned the potential for trouble until it was too late.

He was injured initially and then held out of the team because they were looking to move him.

Either way, both teams seem to have missed a simple solution, choosing instead to hope for an exception that wasn't granted.

Don't see why we're to blame.

I don't either, MtW.

Because once it was announced he was denied, it was pretty easy to figure out why. So the club either got really bad advice and assumed they'd be allowed to skirt the rules or failed to speak with Roma in the weeks leading up to the permit decision to ensure he'd make the bench so he'd qualify. Roma should have realized this, as well. We asked for a note to explain his absence, so clearly it was a known issue by the end.

Anyway, water under the bridge now.

So will Wolves be fined for an illegal player?

Exclusive: Wolves appeal for Diego Costa's work permit/appeal has been accepted. Diego will fly to England later tonight to discuss final details of the free transfer. 🚨🟠 #WWFC

Medical tests have been scheduled and it will be a key step to proceed — one year contract ready.

I'm confused, I thought we were told that with the Klyuivert decision there was no right of appeal?

Where did you read this? Last I heard they were going after Andy Carroll.

Edit: On Sky sports news now.

This makes no sense at all and if he signs for them we should appeal as it's unfair. There's absolutely no justification for him signing and Kluivert being rejected.

[fulhamfever]

Diego Costa has actually worked in the UK before so he has a slight advantage over JK

[Marcel_Gecov]

Now on Sky Sports. I appreciate theres rules but it needs to be communicated clearer to us fans via a media source etc... easy to feel hard done by

It's completely irrelevant - the points system is based on a specific time period and nothing more.

[Blawarmy]

We need to appeal this. Something stinks

I posted a link on the Kluivert thread that explains why he didn't get enough points. But it's stupid, sounds like the FA 'Dancing on a pinhead'.

[bencher]

I've no idea if it would have helped, but Justin Kluivert presumably lived in the UK for a year while his Dad played for Newcastle. He scored one at the Cottage it seems:
