Sulberto21 Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Very good business decision methinks. Sending our youngsters on loan to a more technical league can only be good for them. Then there’s the players coming in the opposite direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 I don’t know what it means, but it suggests (if it wasn’t already obvious) that our owners are not pissing about. I love NSWE. We are so fecking lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can just sign players from Brazil at will now.

useless Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 I suspect the big advantage of this would be more about having somewhere to send our younger players, Wolves have about five players on loan at Grasshopper Club Zürich at the moment, Man City use Girona in a similar way, there are probably other clubs that do similar. It wouldn't just have to be academy players either, this season someone like El Ghazi would have been better off going to play in Portugal for half a season rather than not play at all with Everton. If we're looking at potential new signings but are not sure if they're good enough or ready for us yet, having a link up with Vitoria or similar would give us the option of sending the player to them first to see how they do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firstly, you can't sign players 'at will', unless they are British or Irish they have to be awarded a visa, based on meeting various criteria. Secondly, the visa bands are key here: You'll note that having played in the Portuguese first division provides more points than having played in the Brazilian first division. In any case, I suspect the logic is more to do with the constant churn of brilliant youth products out of Portugal, which must have something to do with the training they get over there. I imagine we're trying to tap into that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villaphan04 Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 there hasn't been any recent links for this and I am a little curious about if this is something Nas & Wes are still going to persue. I find it quite odd that only 2 teams/club groups in Red Bull & the City group have established partial-to-full ownership of clubs in South America. I would think that would help immensely with establishing a bigger scouting network in the region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 When the Telegraph reported our interest in Emery and Pochettino, in the same article they also mentioned that we were in talks with two European clubs over the possibility of a purchase, not sure if that meant NSWE wanted to buy two or whether it was one or the other, the article also mentioned that they were still on course to set up the Las Vegas Villains. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villaphan04 Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 according to Ornstein, the next "frontier" for multi-club ownership is Poland. There is not any links with NSWE there, but I wonder if that's a place we might be looking as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlack Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 (edited) A US one would still be a great idea. The way we've got Jhon eligible to sign for us by him playing a season there is quite convenient. He did have to play for Colombia as well, but if he was playing at a more successful US club he'd have almost got enough points not even playing for his international team.

Phrased poorly...the fact he'd played in MLS got him enough points to get a work permit. We didn't (to my knowledge) organise his transfer to Chicago, but we did benefit from it. And the same would be true for other South American prospects that will get a permit in the US, but wouldn't here.
