Confession time; I found myself considering buying him on Pro Evo before I realised I'd be a better beaut for doing so.

Obinna Still On His Way To Everton?
Nigerian international has not featured often for the Nerazzurri this season and could be on his way to Everton...again.
Inter striker Victor Obinna was supposed to have signed for Everton at the beginning of the season, but the transfer hit a snag when the player could not get his work permit before the transfer window closed in September.
Now, according to Eurosport, the move is back on and could indeed take place in January as Jose Mourinho looks to trim down his squad.
The Nigerian was a key factor in wins against Udinese and Roma, but has not featured since that time as Adriano and Julio Cruz have made their way back into the line-up.
"I read in the newspapers about my future and in particular going to Everton," the former Chievo player told reporters.
"I am happy here and can claim to be part of the squad but certainly I need to play more to keep my place in the Nigerian national team."
Meanwhile, other members of the Nerazzurri continue to be linked with January moves as well. Hernan Crespo, Luis Jimenez, and Olivier Dacourt all could be on their way out of Milan when the transfer window re-opens.
COME ON VICTOR!!!!!!!

i just found out a friend of mine at university, who is from nigeria, attended the same high school as obinna (though he's 5 years younger).
not a huge deal i guess but i thought it was interesting nonetheless

I don't want to be a smart arse and can't be bothered to look back over past posts, but(me and a few others in here) it was mentioned a few months back that this lad could arrive in Jan visas permitting as the fine print had already been sorted.
Like I said, I may stand alone on this, but it was a major point of talk at the time.
(OK, I am too smashed to be arsed looking over the archives, but I know I am right,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,or not neccesarily wrong, or something)

they already owned Obinna he was contracted to two clubs. Chievo and Inter.
Inter bought Chievo's half of the contract to sell him on because Obinna doesn't want to play for Chevo anymore.
I wonder if Obinna has found that Italian passport he was supposed to have had but had lost it...
He wouldn't need a work permit then would he?

I thought that the problem related to him being a dual citizen, thereby meaning that EU rules regarding the right to work in any other state did not apply.
Jose Says:
"If in January no-one leaves and no-one arrives I am happy, even if my direct opponents will make investments and they will strengthen themselves."
"I would like to end with these 29 players, even if they are too much. I would like to celebrate together for something important or cry together for a failed target."

The agent of Victor Obinna insists the Nigerian will remain with Inter Milan for the remainder of this season.
Obinna has been linked with Genoa as part of Inter's bid for Diego Milito.
But Patrick Bastianelli told Tuttomercatoweb: “I can't confirm those rumours.
“Personally I haven't had any word from Inter and I would say that any deal for Milito wouldn't be business for January.
“Obinna wants to stay at Inter because he believes in the project. He has the respect of Mourinho for the way he plays on the counterattack and he won't be leaving.
“Victor is ready to play for his place in the second part of the season and he has a four-year contract that he signed last summer.”
Obinna was on the brink of joining Everton on loan during last summer, but the deal fell through at the 11th hour.
“He would have been at Everton if it weren't for technical hitches,” Bastianelli explained.
“In order to play in the Premier League you need a work permit, which requires that you have played in at least 75 per cent of your nation's games over the last two or three years.
“Obinna just about reaches that requirement, but the FA don't take Olympic matches into consideration and so he had to stay in Milan.”
Some insights there, looks like we havnt been in for him again nor is he likely to come.

Welcome to Barcelonaton FC
Load of [Poor language removed]! If its not work permits its dual ownerships of players by agents.
I bet you when we have a GB Olympic side they'll take the matches into consideration.
