How does Alexis Mac Allister have a European passport? He's never played for a European team to be eligible for a passport like Ulloa was with a Spanish passport. His family background is Scottish/Irish but it's too far back to be entitled to a British/Irish passport. Unless his mother holds dual nationality I cannot see how he has a European passport.

No idea but that's what was reported when we signed him.

I thought the idea of sending him on loan to Belgium was to get a Belgium passport which is easier and quicker to obtain than those in the UK.

How does that work...so I could go and work for a year in Belgium and be given a Belgian passport? For one years employment?

Duffy has an Irish passport, which is under a different agreement anyway.

Could it be via parents or grandparents as per the IS girl.

I thought I read that it happened with Izziquerdo also.that was how he got his Euro passport, but I could be wrong

Could 1 of them hold a dual passport for whatever reason, as happens with many Africans it seems.

We had to get a work permit for Jose, he doesn't hold an EU passport.

If one of them did don't you think the club would have already had the player applying for a passport for that country? Its likely to be a lot quicker than sending him out loan while they wait until he qualifies for more work permit points.

Which of our players have work permits ?

Izquierdo
Kayal
Jahanbakhsh

for sure.

Any others ?

You are nearly always wrong

Something in the back of my mind tells me that Izzy went tp Clubbe Bruge to get a Euro passport so he could come to the Premier, perhaps I am mixed up.

This article says he’s on a work permit

He definitely needed to get a work permit as he went to Paris after his medical in order to leave and re-enter the country as part of the process.

Bissouma has a UK residence permit, which I assume is connected to a work permit.

Not black South Africans, usually. They have spent a great deal of time until recently under a spell that gave them no rights, known as apartheid.

Oh bollocks. I can't contain myself. Expelliamus!

I am probably getting mixed up between work permit and passport.
