As an employee of Parma, I presume he already has a permit to work in Italy.

Watch him go on to be the new Essien now.

cheeky twats.

It does say on that site under a co-ownership deal, I wonder if this was the setback?

Serves us right. Why leave it and therefore any appeal to hours before the deadline closes?! Fukcing stupid! Someone gets paid a fortune to perform cock ups like this.
Its like Mido all over again!

sad news is we were first choice, but couldn't land him.

cheers

There's no need for a work permit in Italy. I think UK is the only European nation where you need a work permit, in Italy there's only a rule that you can't sign more than one (or two? I can't remember) extra-EU player from abroad per season. No restrictions on signing extra-EU players already in the country.

Typical city.....

Jammy bastards! still if the git does the business at inter, we can always sign him once he gets an eu passport.

I think Argentine players have some sort of grandfather clause with Italy that allows them dual citizenship. Don't think it applies to the rest of the EU though.

Called the Schengen treaty and we aren´t signed up to it - Home office still hypocritical cnuts though and I have no doubt a rag bureaucrat put the Kybosh on this - he´ll turn out a star I can just see it

Hi to everyone,

I'm an Inter fan, but I'm following this forum and I'm watching City with sympathy since Mancio took over. I just wanted to point something out:

It's not Man City who did something wrong, it's your FA which blocked the transfer of Mariga to Man City (and the rules your FA has).

To buy a foreign, non-EU player there are two rules:
1. He must have played with it's national team at least 75% of the games in a season (this was OK, since he played 98% I think)
2. The player must be from a country which is positioned above the 70th place in FIFA ranking (Kenya is on 98th place)

In Italy is a rule that the teams can buy only 1 non-EU player from outside of Italy (per season) - but the clubs can buy all the non-EU players from within Italy as they wish.

It's not that somebody did something wrong regarding the transfer - it just wasn't possible.

If the deal was not possible, then why did we follow him around like a lapdog and why do other English teams seem to get away signing such players without following the above two rules?

Stinks of hypocrisy but I think questions need to be asked of Cook and Marwood and our legal team.

should of signed him and then loaned him to inter for a year. that would have been smart business.
