On a simple economic level for him to be refused a work permit is crazy. 40% tax approx on a what 60k a week deal? Not to mention his spending power once in the UK. Seems crazy a special economic dispensation can't be arranged.

This is what I don’t understand. I don’t know the rules for people looking to come and work in the UK but he’s got guaranteed employment and a ‘sponsor’ in the club.

If it’s the FA refusing to give him one over some sort of different qualifying criteria then I don’t see why he couldn’t look to take legal action against them as he’s being treated differently from other foreign people looking to come and work in the UK.

That's mental, so the entire premise is made to benefit only the big clubs?

If you look at it as a socialist lol

But its designed to show in transfer fee that the player is 'needed' and valued as a worker compared to a European...

Also that can be seen by the number of caps he has though for lower placed countries the players may not be as good...so not 'needed'...

All about showing why hes better than giving a local person the job.

They kept him from playing deliberately destroying his chances of playing in the world cup and getting a work permit just so they could loan him for another season.
Ridiculous

Did they though ? Not playing him would and clearly has destroyed any relationship between player and manager meaning he’s not going to play for him again , it seems a strange course of action .

He was injured and the manager doesnt rate him so that makes no sense.

The fee wasnt in the top 25% of fees at the time so doesnt qualify.

Its still a decent fee though isnt it, not like we paid £100k.

I can understand the rules are there for a reason, but a £8mill fee, over £25k p/w in wages, most promising player in Belgium award and 6 Champions League appearances should count for something, along with the fact that only injury prevented him being in the WC squad.

He made all kinds of crazy statements in the press in Belgium. He's not exactly the sharpest tool in the shed. Truth is he was very underwhelming and he wasnt even a starter for Anderlecht. The manager doesnt rate him and Anderlecht does not want to keep him.

Can we not just send them a highlights real of Bolasie at Everton and then they may understand that he would be "needed"

Onyekuru: I Won’t Return To Anderlecht, Eagles Will Soar In Russia June 11, 2018 9:35 am

By Johnny Edward:

Everton’s on-loan star at Belgium side Anderlecht Henry Onyekuru will not be playing in the Belgian Pro League next season, Completesportsnigeria.com can exclusively report.

Onyekuru told only CSN that he is considering offers from Germany, Spain and England intsead.

The 21 year old scored 39 goals in in three seasons playing for Eupen and Anderlecht.

“One thing I can tell you for sure is that I won’t be playing in Belgium next season,” the 20-year-old forward told CSN exclusively.

“There are offers from top clubs in Germany, Spain and in England but that depends on my work permit, we know how difficult that is.”

The former Eupen striker also backed the Super Eagles to come good when the 2018 FIFA World Cup kicks off this Thursday in Russia.

“The friendlies should be used to correct errors in the team and also get solution to problems noticed.”

“Many expected so much from them but they didn’t do well in the friendlies but trust me I know these players, I have trained with them, I am confident that they will raise their game on Saturday against Croatia to win.”
