Work permit issues apparently will be resolved because the fee being paid by Villa gives Luiz enough points to satisfy the criteria.
ridiculous
It seems we messed up by sending him on loan before applying for a work permit, meaning the transfer fee we paid wasn't taken into account in our application. Also, Villa get a 'bonus' point in the criteria laid out because we were in Europe last season. In the 'objective criteria' laid out for getting a work permit if you don't get one automatically, they should get between 4 and 6 points for him (one of these depends on his wages, while another depends on which percentile the transfer fee sits in, but nevertheless he's guaranteed to get 4, whereas with us he'd only get 2 or 3, because no transfer fee is involved), and you need to get 4 to get the work permit.
