bonavinter Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Got my hands on this fine youngster in my Barca game I don't think I messed around with the transfer date, so shouldn't it be "Next available"? Surely a 2-year wait is too long. Bug or what? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

solstar Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 This is right in game but inacurate IRL. The current Barcelona youth team is full of foreign youngsters except they all have dual nationality which FM will not let you gain unless you first sign as a foreign player and then reside within the country yet look at the Barcelona youth team and its full of dual nationals, some south americans, some africans, some Europeans.

Newgens are often born with dual nationallity in FM. I could be wrong, but I think U18 Brazilians can move to Europe if it is to the country of their second nationality. In other words, Barcelona could take loads of Brazilian kids to Spain if they have Spanish as second nationality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martyr1777 Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Yeah, he gets 2 more years of 'seasoning' and you don't have to pay his wages during that time, but no one can get him away from you until he's on your roster. Sign good 16 y/o's all the time and collect 2 years later. Only a bad thing if you spent the transfer budget to get him and -needed- him lol. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They certainly can't move to England with for example a Spanish second nationallity. As far as I know they can only move to an EU country they have a passport for under the age of 18. I would guess it's an attempt by the Brazilan FA to stop European clubs taking all their top teenage players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except those currently at Barcelona youth teams IRL are not newgens since they were bought from elsewhere. This is the point where FM fails. Players can get dual nationality prior to joining a club, at least if the board and the player have agreed to this, something that has been brought up as a discussion numerous times within these forums and as yet has still not been dealt with.

Would be difficult to implement in game though. I imagine irl clubs look into a players background to see if he qualifies for EU citizenship, maybe through a parent or grandparent and accordingly apply. Newgens don't have this kind of backgound for us to look into, so the game generates a certain amount of 2nd nationallites when creating newgens.

Ok were at cross purposes a bit. I understand your point about applying for work permits. I was talking about signing Brazilian players under the age of 18 for European teams. It's not allowed unless to a country that he has a passport for. Vela is Mexican so rule does not apply. Botelho was 18 when he signed for Arsenal and immediately loaned out to Salamanca in Spain because he could not get a work permit for England.

What I am saying is that many players acquire their nationality (EU) before they join a European club that happens IRL not in FM and I stilldon't see why not. If it did then the OP would have no problem with his signing as he could encourage the player to become a national with the promise of joining the club. In fact this option used to be available in a former edition of the game where you could encourage players to become nationals. Another mystery why it was removed. As with Vela, rule does apply as a work permit would be required and he would not be eligible for one hence to loan out. This however is covered in-game. When did Denilson join Arsenal? He was younger than 18 and Brazilian. If he gained dual nationality then it was before he signed and fits into my point as he hasn't resided anywhere else.

Cavenagh Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 It's a FIFA rule that players under the age of 18 cannot sign for a team that's outside their country of residence: 20 VI. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS INVOLVING MINORS 19 Protection of minors 1. International transfers of players are only permitted if the player is over the age of 18. 2. The following three exceptions to this rule apply: a) The player’s parents move to the country in which the new club is located for reasons not linked to football. b) The transfer takes place within the territory of the European Union (EU) or European Economic Area (EEA) and the player is aged between 16 and 18. In this case, the new club must fulfi l the following minimum obligations: i. It shall provide the player with an adequate football education and/ or training in line with the highest national standards. ii. It shall guarantee the player an academic and/or school and/or vocational education and/or training, in addition to his football education and/or training, which will allow the player to pursue a career other than football should he cease playing professional football. iii. It shall make all necessary arrangements to ensure that the player is looked after in the best possible way (optimum living standards with a host family or in club accommodation, appointment of a mentor at the club, etc.). iv. It shall, on registration of such a player, provide the relevant association with proof that it is complying with the aforementioned obligations. c) The player lives no further than 50km from a national border and the club with which the player wishes to be registered in the neighbouring association is also within 50km of that border. The maximum distance between the player’s domicile and the club’s headquarters shall be 100km. In such cases, the player must continue to live at home and the two associations concerned must give their explicit consent. 3. The conditions of this article shall also apply to any player who has never previously been registered with a club and is not a national of the country in which he wishes to be registered for the first time. Page 20 of this PDF And it's country of residence that matters, rather than nationality. A 16 year old Brazilian resident in say Spain, because his parents moved there for work, would be able to sign for a Spanish club, but not a Brazilian one, even though they're Brazilian, as signing for a Brazilian club would mean uprooting from Spain and moving thousands of miles away from his guardians.

Point 2 of that pdf states that a player can move along with his parents and therefore do so from age 16. This is not apparent in-game but happens all the time IRL which is how the players end up with dual nationality and home grown status. Its also worth mentioning that the guardians/parents could move with the player and not the player on his own. They could claim work reasons for such a move and not break any rules. What I am attaining to however is that some players have dual nationality having never lived in the country of nationality.

Lazaru5 Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I have dual nationality due to parentage. one parent was born in Ireland, the other was born in England, I therefore have dual British/Irish nationality. I don't have to have lived in either country to obtain that, it's an automatic right. I could, feasibly, have a third nationality had I had the same parents but been born/raised in yet another country, e.g. Spain. Moving to another country for reasons not related to football would, I assume, be thoroughly checked out by FIFA should a 'superstar' footballer suddenly appear in someone's first team that wouldn't normally be allowed to play for them so the 'parents could say they moved for work' argument wouldn't hold water (I don't think).
