Villastine Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 If this is true I'd imagine we'd win on a second appeal, especially for a Croatian. If not then a bid for Daniel Bentley would be a good shout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its absolutely ridiculous. He is coming towork yet you have people who come over and dont contribute anything into the system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Why are people still going on about tax? The alternative to Kalinic is not to play the rest of the season with no goalkeeper. It's to sign another one, sooner or later. Who'll be on similar wages. Which he will get taxed on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 It isn't anything to do with tax, the taxman doesn't make the decision, a panel of individuals decides on appeals and they rejected it (based on footballing reasons, i.e. not good enough/won't contribute to the Premier League). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm well aware of that. It was a response to people saying 'why reject Kalinic when he'll be paying thousands of pounds a week in tax' and other similar sentiments. I'm aware it has nothing to do with the decision. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srsmithusa Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 ummm, so some panel of unnamed individuals looks at our club's transfer plans and says the player we want to bring in isn't good enough? Where was this panel when we got the Djemba twins and Tonev, and Sylla, and Zog, and (you get the picture)? Can we just hire these guys to be our scouting system?

villa4europe Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 The tax thing is more a comment on the UK than football, obviously as a club we will employ a goal keeper on a decent wage no matter what, however outside of that context, and not in the context of what the daily mail is saying but just walking round pretty much any town or city in the UK, we're surrounded by immigrants and this is an immigration decision, when saying he'll contribute £x in tax it's not comparing him to another goalkeeper, it's comparing him to the 7.5m immigrants that we did deem suitable to come and live here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 It would be a pretty crappy immigration policy that decided the merits of your application based on how much money you had. Being rich shouldn't buy your way into everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Yeah I agree but look at how the government has pimped out London. To foreign millionaires, we have an open door policy to rich immigrants And according to the rules the more this kid gets paid the more points he'll score, because it's a low fee and low wages he scores low, that Brazilian Liverpool are after for £25m and no doubt £80k a week will score high, so they do reward paying higher wages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The existing member states placed restrictions on them when they joined to try and stem the flow of 'undesirables' coming straight over. Thye do not get free movement until 2018 (as 5 year's is all it takes to bring thier people up to speed apparently). Until then they are bound by restrictions on work and trade.

It doesn't account for marriage, and it doesn't account for people fleeing from war, for just two obvious examples.
