Back to the question - I also would like to know as I'm opting for a 100% revamp of the team, so let's get as many new faces as possible !

Last I read on here we hadn't even applied for a permit because we didn't expect to get one -- I think becasue he's played so few internationals lately-- so we can hardly appeal.

 

On the other hand can't he apply for naturalisation as an UK citizen now he's been here 5 years?

 

Either way I'd have thought we'd have signed him by now if we were going to.

Half-answering my own question now I've googled it, since he has been here the required 5 years he can indeed apply to become a UK citizen and thus would not need a work permit.

 

So what's the problem? Would he not still be eligible to play for Tunisia? We allow dual citizenship in the UK don't we? Besides he isn't getting picked for Tunisia any more.

 

More than meets the eye to this story IMO.

Some other countries (Malaysia springs to mind) don't allow dual citizenship. Not sure if this applies to Tunisia, but could affect his tax/assets/international call-up position if he were obliged to ditch his Tunisian citizenship.

According to http://www.opm.gov/EXTRA/INVESTIGATE/is-01.PDF

both countries allow dual citizenship, and he does meet UK requirements for naturalisation. So there must be some further complication beyond just the work permit issue.

 

Like maybe he or we changed our minds!

You're not possibly suggesting it was another reason other than the work permit are you? You will get hung, drawn and quartered for that in here! :gasp:

I understand that an application for an indefinite leave to remain visa is currently taking several weeks to process. Could it be that we are keeping quiet about the player so as not to attract interest for him elsewhere while his application is processed? In the meantime, perhaps we are patiently biding our time, making short term loans cover until it is all resolved.

By the way , its "there is" not there's. Peasant! :rolleyes:

 

Wrong in so many ways. Apart from the space before the comma, 'there's' is a perfectly acceptable abbreviation of 'there is', and you've forgotten the apostrophe in 'it's'.

 

I think I'll pass the 'peasant' baton back to you.

And while you're out getting the apostrophe for the "its", see if you can get a two-for-one deal because you need one for your screen name as well.
