MessiWillSignForVilla Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 (edited) Interesting that it's stated as an Academy signing, I had half assumed that he would come in to the first team and be fourth choice whilst playing some occasional youth games Edited January 14, 2022 by MessiWillSignForVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 5 minutes ago, OutByEaster? said: What is 'international clearance' with a Scottish player? "...must be completed for a player who is seeking to register for a club in England and has previously been registered for a club abroad (including the other Home Associations), or who is a foreign national seeking to register for the first time in England." Also, as he's under-18, there's some additional FIFA related administration to do too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted January 14, 2022 Moderator Share Posted January 14, 2022 A quick google says we have to prove we'll be giving him the best possible training and instruction as a footballer, that we're also giving him a decent education or career training in case he's not a footballer and that he'll be living in good care either with a host family or somewhere suitable. It all makes sense and I'm sure it's something we do all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AV82 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 19 hours ago, Stoobs said: Possibly because he didn’t play for Dundee. Played for Dundee United. European Cup semi finalists in 1984. Regularly beat Barcelona around that time. Play in tangerine as opposed to the blue of Dundee. I actually don’t know if English fans actually know there is a Dundee and a Dundee United who both play in top league…lol Ah so it's a 'Sheffield' situation. Apologies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
