Sir Stuart Wilson Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Surely a bug relating to foreign transfer of Brazilian under 18s? The fact he is a free agent should this still apply? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWaRFeGa Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Domestic Brazilian players cannot move abroad until they are 18. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
milnerpoint Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Its European law, under 18's from south America cannot come over here unless they have a second nationality doesnt matter if they are free agents or not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar2010 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Brazilian players cannot move under they are 18. Unless they have a second nationality, in which case they can move to that country. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jibby123 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Croatian yth players are same. Have my beady eye on one who looks the nuts, but don't want to blow my transfer budget on a player I won't have for 18 months. Bigger teams than mine will start to circle him soon enough.

Jumbo Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Lucas Piazon has been playing for Chelsea reserves IRL but he's not meant to join until January... what's going on there? Some sort of temporary visa until he can sign full terms? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have my beady eye on one who looks the nuts, but don't want to blow my transfer budget on a player I won't have for 18 months. Bigger teams than mine will start to circle him soon enough. I think this is because at the start of the game Croatia are a non-EU country. I would think once they join the EU (2013 I think people have said) then the U18 players can move right away I'm not 100% sure about this though, hopefully some can correct/back me up.

hluraven Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Surely a bug relating to foreign transfer of Brazilian under 18s? The fact he is a free agent should this still apply? It would be a pretty obvious loophole if what you say was the case. A European team could pay the Brazilian club to release the Under-18 to free agency after having signed an agreement with the player to sign him the next day. Exactly the same money changes hands as a transfer and the player can move instantly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welshace Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 piazon will become eligible for a work visa in january so he was able to come over and play for the youth team until then.. i believe they can stay 6 months without a visa or something? so he signed in the summer and can only play for the youth team and cup Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
looknohands Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Haven't tried this in 12 yet, but in last year's game I'd go after some of the Brazilian U-20 squad. I'd put in a bid for a 15y.o. and offer him a contract--he wouldn't be able to join me for three years, but wanted a two year contract! "So, you'll join us in 2015?" "Sure...but my contract only runs until 2014." What??? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMT Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 That 2 year contract would have started in 2015 though and not as soon it was accepted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
looknohands Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 The problem, though, was the way it was displayed on the screen--I get the notification that he would be unable to join until January of 2015 during negotiations, but in the contract screen he was asking for a contract that would last until 2014. Don't know if it's still an issue in this version... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
