"Vlad Chiriches not in the squad today as spurs still haven't received his work permit."

3 weeks to get the paperwork sorted?

Very strange if true.

Romanian and Bulgarian applicants always take longer according to AVB. Chelsea must have flashed the cash.

It's strange how in this day and age that a letter is taking so bloody long to travel. Surely it's done by an instant courier service?

Fax would have been better! Maybe the Romanian posties are on strike?!

It is taking far too long! we could really do with him tonight and next Tuesday.

It is when Willian sems to have got one pretty much straight away, with out really being a regular Brazil International!!
Indeed. I get that for some obscure treaty-bound reason Romanian and Bulgarian citizens still need a work permit in the UK until the new year but c'mon, pull the lead out FFS. 3 frigging weeks? He is an EU citizen and qualifies as kind of a big deal in his chosen profession, being a regular international and all.

Willian's case is different as he was rejected straight away.

And it was the appeal process that warranted him a work permit.

Obviously that is a quicker process.

Tottenham kick off their Europa League Group K campaign with a home clash with Norwegian side Tromso on Thursday night (8.05pm).
Spurs reached the quarter-finals of the competition last season and they will be looking to improve on that this term.
Andre Villas-Boas' side have started the Premier League season well with three wins from four games, but the Portuguese is expected to make a number of changes to his side for the Europa League.
Wingers Aaron Lennon (foot) and Nacer Chadli (hip) are both ruled out through injury, while midfielder Etienne Capoue is sidelined with an ankle problem.
Jermain Defoe could be in line for a rare start, but Emmanuel Adebayor is not in the first-team plans of Villas-Boas and continues to train with the development squad.
Romanian defender Vlad Chiriches could also make his debut Tottenham after winning his work permit.
Tromso only reached the group stages of the Europa League after Besiktas - who beat them in qualifying - were kicked out of the competition for their part in match-fixing scandal in Turkey.
Defender Hans Norybe is set to miss out for the Norwegians after suffering a broken nose in last weekend's win over Rosenborg.
Tromso coach Agnar Christensen is sweating on the fitness of midfielder Magnus Andersen as he battles with an ankle injury, while Ruben Kristiansen and Jaroslaw Fojut should be fit to play after recovering from illness.

:eek: (y)

Funny that Sky report it like that, yet Sessegnon had a massive yellow bar scrolling across the bottom of their screen for most of the afternoon?

I suppose as it's an official work permit it will come with some logo of certificate so it may not be possible to fax. Could be wrong though.

Work Permits are issued by the country the applicant will be working in not the country they are from.

If someone from the UK wanted to work in Australia, they need a work permit from the Australian Government not the British Government,

So someone in the UK government is dragging their heels....a fucking gooner I bet!
