    I expect his medical's already happened, supposedly we flew people out there to Italy to do it. Work permit probably a day, so most likely will be announced Wednesday I guess.

    We probably flew people to Italy to do it because we didn't want to show him Southampton Solent...

    Nice place, Southampton Solent. Shame their lecturers aren't up to much...

    Or maybe they want to keep him away from Portsmouth.

    Second in the queue to Matt Holland, this could take a while.

    Ahhh my bad. The next day doesn't start until I go to sleep.

    To clarify. Medical on Tuesday. Apologies PTF if that is what you meant!

    I thought for a permit you need to have played a certain amount of times? Thought the permit process would take longer...

    No I said "already happened", didn't specify a day. But I'm quite willing to believe it hasn't, I was just speculating.

    Mind if I ask how you know?

    75% of internationals in the last two years, which apparently he has fulfilled.

    75% of Uruguay's games within the last two years. He has done.

    Plus Uruguay are sufficiently high enough on the world rankings to qualify for somethingy or another. I don't know.

    Right now, I don't really want to say for obvious reasons.

    But, when the outcome is known, I'll post up how and who told me what.

    If he hasn't played enough games, they can allow it if they can see he's a talented enough player to benefit the Premier League.

    Even if he hadn't played the games required he'd probably be considered an exceptional talent who'd improve the quality of the English game.

    (oh and I got a Work Permit in Season 1 for him on FM ;) )

    Yeah top 70 is a requirement, which is pretty inclusive.

    Probably, but that would require an appeal I believe? Which would delay things a little bit.

    Yeah, Tadanari managed to get one, Saints would have no worries with Gaston.

    I think they'd bring it all forward to fit it in for the deadline anyway. I don't think we'll have any worries.
