'The English FA were willing to grant the visa only after the transfer was done'

Since when has the FA handed out visas? Hmmm

The FA dont grant the work permits thats the goverments job. I dont think we are appealing but there is nothing stopping him, if he appeals and proves that he is an expectional case they may state that it wont be granted for loans on out right purchases maybe thats what they mean.

The panel will normally consist of representatives from the relevant football governing bodies together with up to three independent experts

does this mean they are on appeal?

Seems like its up to the club now to decide how much money he is worth risking to make the move permanent. Unless the Sao Paulo VP is talking crap then the deal looks very much on.

He clearly has quality, just not the experience. I would think though that he would come good. If this is true then they should agree to buy for a lower fee and just build in good add ons for appearences etc.
