Kilworthfox Posted 7 February Share Posted 7 February 9 minutes ago, Ric Flair said: Due to the change in the transfer rules for British clubs that came in this summer, although we can only get 4 players who'd not ordinarily qualify for a work permit and not sure clubs would use one for their academy unless there's seperate rules for that. I was answering your assumption. It is subjective and depending on how a club view a player, and what other needs other departments have will determine if they use a spot or 4. They actually have some very good players on occasion. They play in competition below professional academies, however they also play many friendlies against Cat 1 academies. They have a much broader scope to recruit foreign footballers, as they are an education provider, rather than a professional football club, so different rules. This can be used by those who want to become a professional (especially in England) as a way to showcase yourself and get noticed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or someone who has a history or connection with them. However the club staff have connections all over the world usually with other similar individuals. Having a contact at an "academy" outside of a professional academy, has always been helpful for me. Edited 8 February by Kilworthfox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it was said at the time that our links to the academy enabled us to get Kamal Sowah which had surprised many, as players tend not to slip through there that easily.

Well if that's the case now you are informing me. It would make sence for there to be elite centres in other countries with links to Europe especially, England even more so due to the finances, and restrictions, before 18. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this happens with the first-team highlights videos as well, but why spend 4 minutes of a 15-minute video showing the players walking out and lining up before kick-off? That could be cut to 30 seconds max. Then they spelled Brad Young's surname incorrectly ('Yound') in the list of subs and kept showing an ident with the WSL logo instead of a PL/PL Cup one.
