Get Ulloa in, got to be worth it shouldn't cost too much. The we get really greedy and shell out large on our true no 9 target (another big man but with some pace). Then recoup a bit and sell Hemed.
Job done.

The only relevant precedent is Ndidi who arrived from Belgium, he was given a permit after appeal I believe.
Disappointed with the lack of ö-s and ß-s...
True but I doubt they can be 100% confident. Ndidi deal took a while to complete for Leicester, allegedly.

On Football Manager, if not 75% played in their international team what happens is they fail the initial application and then win the appeal if the money involved is big enough. I think 16 mill is certainly big enough.

Don't wait for me!
Anyone else checking whether that's an official seagulls pen? It's not on seagulls direct . . . . deal off.
Just had a quick google and the Ndidi transfer was officially announced on the 3rd of January and the work permit was granted on the 6th. But the Guardian had been reporting as a done deal as early as the 13th of December so presumably the work permit process took a while...

The thing that is pertinent is that from this summer he has started to be included in Columbian squads. The club wouldn't be getting involved in a deal of this size if they wasn't absolutely certain he will be granted a permit.
Indeed. Lawyers will have been all over this in advance.

I am bang in the mood for a flairified sympathetic Colombian.
Exactly, lets hope we can get this over the line.
Crazy to think that if we take the fee for this deal (assuming it goes through, of course) as somewhere around £15 million, we'll have increased our transfer record roughly 5-fold since May, when it was about £3 million for CMS.

Less than ten years ago we were signing Kevin McLeod on a free transfer. Now we're signing a Columbian international for up to £16m and breaking our transfer record for the third time in less than two months.
What a time to be alive.

I think [MENTION=17456]The_Viper[/MENTION] will be quite pleased with this - he's mentioned Izquierdo on a couple of occasions recently.
Don't forget the Ikea money...
Clearer version of the pic. Is that PW second right ?
It's certainly the same bloke I saw in Valencia...
