Paulista (official).

[Alpha]

Don't think #2 applies until March.

At least , there is a ground to apply a work permit for . If what you saying is true , we can loan him out for two months and recall him back . Nothing is desperate here .
Anyway let's wait and see . But Wenger looks confident on this one .

[AFC Leveller]

He will be a terrific addition, the boy can head, pass and clear the ball as well as defend.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

Will we secure a work permit?

Well based on the 6m Indians that have successfully moved over, I'd say yes.

Yes but Paulista isn't planning to claim benefits so he probably won't qualify for a permit.

I read an article Gabriel (Paulista isn't actually his real name, it's a general nickname for someone from Sao Paolo ) is similar to Koscielny in terms of his pace, anticipation and his aggressive style of defending. Not sure if that's a good thing because Koscielny could never play well with Vermaelen, but lets hope he's closer in ability to the former.

[Özim]

With Wengers knowledge of the defensive side of the game of football, we can rest easy in the knowledge that this guy is going to be one of the world's top defensive talents.

[Özim]

On another note, why go after a player who has a "50-50" chance of getting a work permit, seems a bit nonsensical when we could just try and sign someone with non of these issues.

Also disappointed about Campbell if he goes, should have been given a better chance to show what he can do, he'll probably flourish in Spain and end up being worth 25-30 million.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Then we'll sell him for £25-30 million (this won't happen though I imagine).

Welcome to Paulista though, seems like a matter of time. I Daresay he makes more sense than signing David Luiz would.

[Özim]

We'll seel him for 6 million at the end of the season then he'll have a couple good seasons in Spain and be worth a fortune.

Think you're being a little kind to Campbell Ozim.....
